Design of a Permanent Magnet Gyrotron for Active Denial Systems

摘要

Current W-Band active denial, non-lethal weapon systems use gyrotron sources requiring superconducting magnets. The long start-up time of the magnet is a major hindrance for rapid deployment of these systems. Calabazas Creek Research, Inc. is funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to develop a permanent magnet gyrotron as an alternate source.
