Microwave missile?

I read this on the net:

Any thought what this is all about? They talk about a missile that has an onboard microwave generator or is this an raygun like aircraft that zaps the infrastructures Like ABL that they are suggesting at the last paragragh?

This would be used to shutdown C4I, IADS, etc…., and used in conjunction with other assets, to provide synergistic effects.

It’s a AAM with a HPM warhead (aka e-bomb). The “blast” radius is much larger than with a conventional warhead, but the effects are very frequency-selective.
