Harmonic Weapon Modulation is a new Bird Campaign ability, as of 2022. HWM will let you bypass an opponent's shields. It was introduced to replace Super Spy Command, and all players who had SS Command when it was retired got HWM for free.

To use HWM, the attacking Bird ship you must have the same friendly code as the ship it's targeting. This causes the enemy's shields to be at 0% when combat starts.

To use HWM properly, you should also have Super Spy Infiltration enabled. This will tell you the FCs of any ships in orbit at a foreign planet with a starbase. A player can counter this ability by changing the FC of their ships every turn.
