Much has been mentioned about the AESA’s ability to accurately focus microwave energy at great distances. Supposedly, this could allow it to fry the electronics of an enemy plane or missile.
In the case of Air-to-Air Missiles (SARH or active homing modes) which are dependent on receiving radar returns from the intended target, is hardening really possible or will an AESA just overpower its electronics rendering it useless?
