■■■■□ Potential use of military electronic warfare at sea affecting maritime traffic.
The Central and international investigative agencies have launched a probe into the possible use of high-power microwave (HPM) or electromagnetic pulse (EMP)-based devices in the recent string of ship incidents in the Arabian Sea.
Turkey has recently developed advanced HPM technology capable of disrupting GPS and other electronic navigation systems on aircraft and naval vessels. Investigators are now examining whether such devices were deployed in the Arabian Sea. To identify their possible use, authorities are monitoring unusual fluctuations in electricity usage in locations where sabotage is suspected.
