Microwave systems intended to defeat drone swarms invite comparison with the powerful search radars already carried by warships. Whether those radars can produce a comparable effect remains unconfirmed. Navies are described as offering neither confirmation nor denial when the possibility is raised. That silence leaves the proposed secondary role unresolved.

Could a ship's search radar double as a microwave countermeasure?
The growth of microwave weapons against drone swarms raises the possibility that a warship's powerful search radar may have effects beyond detection.
