1. An electromagnetic plasma disrupter device comprising:

  • a vacuum pressurized waveguide;

    a capacitor bank connected to the vacuum pressurized waveguide;

    a plurality of vacuum connectors coupled to the vacuum pressurized waveguide, wherein the plurality of vacuum connectors are configured to regulate vacuum pressure within the vacuum pressurized waveguide; and

    a plurality of pairs of opposed electrodes at least partially enclosed in the vacuum pressurized waveguide, wherein a first electrode of a first pair of the plurality of pairs of the opposed electrodes is connected to ground and a second electrode of the first pair of the plurality of pairs of the opposed electrodes is coupled to the capacitor bank, wherein the capacitor back provides a voltage, wherein a second pair of the plurality of pairs of the opposed electrodes is disposed within the waveguide and is configured in series with an electronic circuit and one or more of an external source and an external load, wherein the first pair of the plurality of pairs of the opposed electrodes facilitate generating and controlling a glow discharge.
