Known as the Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the missiles were built by Boeing's Phantom Works for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory

The microwave weapons can be launched into enemy airspace at low altitude and emit sharp pulses of high power microwave energy that disable any electronic devices targeted

Mary Lou Robinson, the chief of the High Power Microwave Division of the Air Force Research Lab has confirmed to DailyMail.com that the missiles are now operational and ready to take out any target

While North Korea or Iran may attempt to shield their equipment, U.S. officials doubt that would be effective against CHAMP.

The CHAMP missile concept was being promoted today (5.20) on Channel A News Top Ten in South Korea as the antidote for the North Korean missile threat.
