Was looking at Tweets concerning tanks and other military gear heading for the Mexican Border to deal with the hostile invasion. Sure looks like they have several Active Denial Systems on the way! They will be peeing their pants and running back into Mexico!https://t.co/L6XL0h11Qb pic.twitter.com/dkCuv1gNs3 — A Sheepdog (@NCSheepdog) October 31, 2018 Found a picture of an Active Denial System.

New Marine Corps non-lethal weapon heats things up MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. — Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos, invited senior members of the Marine Corps and members of the media to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., for a demonstration and first-hand opportunity to feel the effects of the U.S. Department of Defense, Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate’s Active Denial System March 9, 2012. The Active Denial System is an advanced non-lethal technology that projects a long range, man-sized beam of millimeter waves at a range of up to 1000 meters to counter personnel. “The system is...

The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon system under development by the U.S. military. It is a strong millimeter-wave transmitter used for crowd control (the "goodbye effect"[1]). Raytheon is currently marketing a reduced range version of this technology."[2] The ADS works by directing electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 95 GHz[3] toward the subjects. The waves excite (see Excited state) water molecules in the epidermis (skin) to around 55 °C (130 degrees Fahrenheit), causing an intensely painful burning sensation. While not actually burning the skin, the burning sensation is similar to that of a light bulb being...

Scientists worried by riot control ray gun Thu Jul 21, 2005 12:34 AM IST LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists are questioning the safety of a Star Wars-style riot control ray gun due to be deployed in Iraq next year. The Active Denial System weapon, classified as "less lethal" by the Pentagon, fires a 95-gigahertz microwave beam at rioters to cause heating and intolerable pain in less than five seconds. The idea is people caught in the beam will rapidly try to move out of it and therefore break up the crowd. But New Scientist magazine reported on Wednesday that during tests...
