The Pentagon on Thursday unveiled a new "non-lethal" weapon designed to drive off an adversary with an energy beam that inflicts pain without causing lasting harm.
The weapon could be used for riot control and peacekeeping missions when deadly force is not necessary, officials said.
The weapon, called "active denial technology," was developed by Air Force research laboratories in New Mexico and Texas as part of a multi-service program run by the Marine Corps.
What do you think of this? The people apparently feel a strong burning sensation due to milliwaves or some sort or other. It is supposed to be similar to the feeling when you touch a lightbulb. There are still a lot of questions about this and about how this is going to affect organs like the eyes or when people come running closer to it. But they are doing more testing over the next year on it. Any feedback on this technology?
