The active denial system is a perfect nonlethal crowd control device - a high-powered energy beam that can disperse an unruly mob without killing, maiming, or harming anyone. Known officially as a “Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System”, this new weapon is said to be more humane and more effective than other methods of controlling a large crowd or stopping aggressive intruders dead in their tracks.
Here’s how it works. A special transmitter fires two-second bursts of focused microwave energy that causes burning sensations on the skin of people up to 700 yards away. But no one gets fried and no telltale burn marks linger on the body because the beam only penetrates just beneath the skin’s surface at a depth of 1/64th of an inch. Targets of this concentrated electromagnetic pulse briefly experience intense pain and confusion, prompting them to leave the area in hurry.
美國研製的一種射束武器。，該武器以密集的射束髮射高頻電磁波，射束加熱肉體中的水分，使被擊中的人產生灼燒的感覺，主要用於控制騷亂與維和行動。
