Carl E. Baum

Pioneer in High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) and switched power technology at AFRL

PERSON Directed Energy BLACK TRACK Also: Carl Baum, C.E. Baum

01 Executive_Summary

Carl E. Baum was a pioneer in High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) and switched power technology. His work at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) laid the theoretical and experimental foundations for high-power microwave (HPM), ultra-wideband (UWB), and switched power systems. He developed many of the fundamental antenna and pulse-forming concepts used in modern HPEM systems. His contributions to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-power microwave technology have influenced both defensive and offensive directed energy applications.
