They could either aim a single narrow beam around the sky in search of a target, which is very difficult to do, or use a wider beam,\u201d Forbes noted.Fustick delineated the more-narrowly focused beam\u2019s advantages: \u2018If you\u2019re using the wider beam, then you\u2019re definitely catching your target, but you\u2019re also catching a whole lot of other stuff, including friendly forces in the same beam.\u201d He pointed out that the wider beam used in conjunction with the narrower beam would permit the operator to scan over a wide expanse but then target the threat more accurately with the narrower beam.The system \u201cbecomes not only a tool for taking out a specific target, but it creates an electronic umbrella of defense over a whole region,\u201d Fustick theorized. \u201cThat\u2019s something that was simply not possible with previous electronic warfare technology.\u201d\u201cSo, it\u2019s not only new capabilities. It\u2019s a new product category,\u201d he said.\u201cOne of the advantages about electronic or soft defense systems is that the price per activation is virtually zero,\u201d he noted. \u201cYou don\u2019t run out of ammunition, and there is no question of \u2018do I or do I not engage that particular threat.\u2019\u201d\u201cIt is the only training system that can engage fifth-generation aircraft and was very publicly in view and successful operation during the Blue Flag exercise,\u201d Fustick concluded.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
