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.

       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.
