You mean the Wedgetail program that will deliver this summer to Australia? But hey, whatever you need to make up to make you feel better.]]>May 18th 2009 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/
On June 29, 2006 the then Australian Minister for Defence, Brendan Nelson, announced that Boeing had recently informed the Australian Government that the Wedgetail project has fallen behind schedule. According to Nelson's press release, the company had previously maintained that the project was actually on schedule.

Boeing has announced an 18 month delay, due to problems integrating radar and sensor computer systems, and will not deliver the aircraft until early 2009. Additionally, Boeing has taken $770 million in charges in 2006 for the delayed aircraft. Furthermore, on June 20, 2008 Boeing announced yet another delay to the Australian program, due primarily to integration of the radar and Electronic Support Measure (ESM) systems. Boeing now hopes to deliver the first aircraft in July 2009 and work on the aircraft in Australia to achieve full capability in "early" 2010.

BTW, Boeing paid Uncle Sam a $600M fine two years ago for their contracting shennanigans involving corrupt officials. They are scum.]]>May 18th 2009 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/

because you are slow, I'll type this slow so you can understand. EMP is still the weapon here. This "microwave weapon" is creating the EMP, since using a nuke isn't really all that cool to use for your EMP needs.]]>May 18th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/May 18th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/boeing-to-develop-microwave-based-airborne-emp-weapon/
