Colonel: US Army has working electropulse grenades

Contradicting previous reports, a US Army electronic-warfare colonel has apparently confirmed the existence of working non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) ordnance - apparently so portable that it is even available in hand-grenade size.

The revelation came at a blogger roundtable (press conference) held in order to introduce the US Army’s new electronic-warfare specialist career field. The briefing was reported by the war-hacks at military.com:

“EMP grenade technology is out there, but I’ve never had my hands on one,” said Col Laurie Buckhout, chief of the newly formed Electronic Warfare Division, Army Operations, Readiness and Mobilization…
The target may be a small building or a village, she said, and so a small jammer could be used, or EMP grenades.
