Electromagnetic pulse
From The Matrix Wiki
EMP is the acronym for electromagnetic pulse. It creates an electromagnetic field around itself, which distrupts electronic devices, causing them to shut down.
EMP was used against the Machines, by the hovercraft crews during the Machine War. When Smith was in the real world he uses an EMP to take out most of the Hovercrafts except for the Mjolnir, the Logos, and the Vigilant.
