John Robb on EMP/HERF weapon research. Unfortunately, directed energy weapons are much more valuable to global guerrillas than nation-state militaries due to the target imbalance between nation-states and non-state foes. The technology needed to build these weapons is generally available and inexpensive... Homemade directed energy weapons will eventually become the weapon of choice for GlobalGuerrillas intent on infrastructure destruction.(FourGW)

Update: he compares them to Kalashnikovs.

Update: he notes how Ultralight Aircraft can provide mobility to HERF-armed swarms.
