‘Vomiting blood’ Venezuelan security guard shares wild account of mystery sonic weapon US used in Maduro raid

DARPA, Palantir, Boeing, foreign countries, and even Google have programs and technology that can read & write, manipulate, induce, project, and effect things and people in ways you never thought possible. All this is already here and already weaponized.

The tech reported in the U.S. military raid on Maduro is just a taste. These DEWs have many layers and include, A.I., electromagnetics, and other frequency weapons.

PROJECT MAVEN and the U.S. Military’s Cutting-Edge Arsenal of AI-Driven Warfare and Directed Energy Weapons.

This is an important deep dive into one of the U.S. Department of War’s most transformative initiatives, a game-changer that’s reshaping modern warfare through artificial intelligence.

Launched in 2017 under the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team, Project Maven isn’t just another tech buzzword; it’s the Pentagon’s flagship AI program designed to supercharge military intelligence by automating the analysis of vast troves of data from drones, satellites, and surveillance feeds.

Highlighting how Maven uses machine learning and computer vision to detect, classify, and track targets in real-time, compressing the “kill chain” from hours to minutes.

The weapon and defense systems powering this revolution, including the seamless integration of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs).

Project Maven serves as the brain, processing petabytes of imagery to identify threats like enemy vehicles, personnel, or infrastructure with pinpoint accuracy—far beyond what human analysts could achieve alone.

Initially deployed against ISIS in 2017, it fused data from full-motion video (FMV) and other sensors to flag potential strikes, always with human oversight in the loop to ensure ethical decision-making.

Today, under the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), Maven has expanded to all military branches—Army, Air Force, Space Force, Navy, and Marines—via platforms like the Maven Smart System (MSS).

MSS isn’t just about detection; it’s a force multiplier, enabling rapid targeting in exercises like Scarlet Dragon, where it slashed manpower needs from thousands to mere dozens while handling complex scenarios in CENTCOM and beyond.

Now, pair this AI prowess with the U.S. military’s Directed Energy Weapons, and you get a lethal, futuristic synergy. DEWs harness concentrated electromagnetic energy—think high-energy lasers (HELs) and high-power microwaves (HPMs)—to neutralize threats without traditional munitions, offering infinite “ammo.”

These aren’t hypothetical; they’re operational and evolving rapidly.

High-Energy Lasers (HELs), systems like the Navy’s HELIOS (High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical-Dazzler and Surveillance) aboard destroyers like the USS Preble deliver speed-of-light strikes to down drones, missiles, or small boats for pennies per shot.

Integrated with Maven’s AI targeting, HELIOS can acquire, track, and zap threats in swarms, as demonstrated in recent Pacific tests. The Army’s DE M-SHORAD (Directed Energy Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense) prototype, mounted on Stryker vehicles, recently shredded drone swarms at Fort Sill, blending lasers with kinetic defenses for layered protection.

Regarding 20 US Special Services:
What ensued, he said, was not a battle, but a slaughter.

“We were hundreds, but we had no chance,” he said. “They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute.”

Then came the weapon that still haunts him.

“At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,” he said. “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once a weapon is revealed, which doubtless includes several aspects of the technology used in capturing Maduro, counter measures inevitably start to evolve at a rapid pace.

This means the power to take out certain additional objectives, including cartel operations and Cuba, will never be higher than they are right now.

I wonder if the guard has ever been on the receiving end of a M84 stun grenade or a MK3A2 concussion grenade. Either one will do a number on you.
