New non-lethal weapon lets troops microwave hostile crowds
Thursday, February 3, 2005
The United States has developed a non-lethal microwave weapon for use in Iraq.
The Active Denial System uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer.
Officials said the vehicle, termed Sheriff, would contain the Active Denial System. The system uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy that can be directed at targets at a range of 1 kilometer.
The ADS system would be downgraded for Iraqi deployment in urban areas, officials said. The ADS causes the skin to burn, causing the people to run away.
The Pentagon plans to install the non-lethal, high-powered microwave weapon on a military vehicle. The deployment of the first platforms in Iraq would take place in September 2005.
The project is designed to give U.S. troops options to battle hostile crowds without the use of lethal weapons. Officials said in many cases Sunni insurgents fire weapons and rocket-propelled grenades from crowds to prevent U.S. retaliation.
The Sheriff would be deployed by the U.S. Army and Marines. The two services will receive up to six platforms, equipped with a system to intercept rocket-propelled grenades.
Officials said the military would not design a new vehicle for the Sheriff. Instead, the Army will probably use a Striker or M117 armored security vehicle while the Marines would obtain a Light Armored Vehicle.
The ADS could be expanded to autonomous vehicles or platforms, officials said. This would include the use of the Sheriff at Air Force bases and other military facilities.

I'd like to see them work on something that produces slightly higher microwave frequencies with the same intensity, that way, instead of just causing pain, it will cause unseen damage to the reproductive organs, resulting in sterility of the target. This will put an end to terrorism, they will no longer be able to reproduce. |

Microwave's cook tissue. Low dose of not, you will notice that when you microwave meat it cooks on the inside first.
I just hope they don't catch on before we grill up a few mile wide KFC buckets O' muslims. |

yeah, let's cook them down... You have ways with "human" weapons... Microwaves don't only burn flesh but make you boil from inside.
Why not UV lamps while at it? |

Microwaves don't really "cook" tissue.
They just stir up H2O until it boils.
Blame the water, not the poor microwaves.
FYI,
The bladder and the brain will be the first to heat up.
Results?
Duhhhh while pissing steam!!!
I LIKE IT !!!! |

Great! I'm all for non-lethals. Let's keep the lethals for those "special moments". It only adds depth to our bench. We always have the option not to use them.
The boiling from inside thing will be great for keeping "the heat on" for "hot" interrogations. Although, I do like the pile-o-butts. Besides it teaches the Iraqis some constructive lessons. But the underwear affair was a waste of good underwear. |
