===Design details===
The X23 NNEMP consists of a turreted mount on top of the [[XRP12 Gremlin]] vehicle. When fired, it emits a large [[electromagnetic pulse]] capable of knocking out vehicles and other electrical equipment.{{Ref/Reuse|HWLE}}{{Ref/Reuse|OSG}}


{{Template:UNSC Heavy Weapons}}
Due to the NNEMP's low rate-of-fire, the turret also incorporates an in-line heavy [[laser]] that is capable of being fired between EMP bursts.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=143}}

===Development history===
The X23 NNEMP was developed by the [[Materials Group]] in the early stages of the [[Insurrection]] in the 25th century, designed to detonate weapons of mass destruction prior to detonation. This marked the first truly precise application of [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] technology, despite it having existed in some form since the 21st century.{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=83}} Following the outbreak of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the X23 was leveraged to counter [[Covenant]] power [[generator]]s and other important relaying stations during protracted battles. After it was found vehicles were sensitive to this particular EMP, the [[XRP12 Gremlin]] was made to support this weapon.{{Ref/Game|Id=HWLE|Halo Wars Limited Edition|Personnel profile|Detail=Ellen Anders - [[:File:HWDE Anders LeaderProfile.jpg|file link]]}}{{Ref/Book|Id=OSG|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|Page=38|Section=Firebase Units}} Its special EMP ability is entirely ineffective against infantry.
