According to AWST, J.H. Poynting was on to something ... "The technological walls separating radar, electronic warfare and missile defense are coming down. This fundamental shift has resulted in development, not yet publicly acknowledged, of multifunction, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars that can locate stealthy airborne targets and then jam their computers and guidance systems with at least enough effect to drive them off course by using a focused beam of X-band radar energy." Consider the E-10 disclosure at http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/ v^2

There's an older technology called a maser, a microwave version of a laser. It actually lead to the development of a laser. They can produce very coherent and focused burst of microwave energy. But I wonder if they have enough power on a 767 to power a maser. Unless they have a chemical version of one like THEL.
