Aren't they using EMP bombs for that? I sem to recall something in either Scientific American or Popular Science [only time you'll hear me use the two magazines in the same sentence], that they had EMP bombs. Basically an explosive charge drives a metal slug, or liquified metal through a large coil in an airburst, and it gives of an EMP. That wouldn't be kind to anything electronic in the area.

Or I suppose they could have just fried it with a maser.
