The electromagnetic pulse grenade, also known as an EMP grenade, haywire grenade, Electrostatic Charge Detonator, ECD, and often referred to by Republic clone troopers as droid poppers, was an anti-droid weapon often used by the Grand Army of the Republic—specifically by the Army's elite soldiers, the clone commandos—during the Clone Wars against battle droid opponents.
