I dont think this exists, but it might. In the same way that strong Magnets can corrupt Computer Hard Drives, would it be possible to get a powerful magnet to destroy its ability to have controlled movement? Or even an explosives Remove Control ability?

Is degaussing really what we're talking about? Wikipedia tells me that degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating a magnetic field. Which magnetic field are you going to reduce that will stop a missile from homing? |

Just add smoke and mirrors. |

My exposure to the word "degauss" comes from old CRT monitors from the 90s. There used to be a button among the controls/settings mysteriously labelled "degauss" which would send a satisfyingly solid "chunggggg" pulse through the screen, which would react by wobbling about a bit. I *think* the problem it was there to solve was a tendency for something to magnetise, resulting in slowly spreading coloured spots to migrate into the screen from one corner or other, and the degauss button was supposed to somehow counteract that. |

Well, if none of those screens was hit by a missile, this idea must be sound. It stands to reason. Then it sits down again, because it's a bit tired. |
