Subject: [MedicalConspiracies] US Army Heat-Ray Gun Afghanistan
To:
But what if you were being restrained or unconscious or too hurt to move ?
How much time could an immobile target endure before serious injury - i am sure some poor animal had that test .. so what is the answer to that possibility?
Something tells me the torture loonies may have used this too ?
...and what wavelength and form of heat is this and what impact on the crew from exposure ?..
I could see if you could generate a field or circle say around an embassy or base or say like the 'Black Hawk down event' - it would be a deterrent and defensive weapon ..and enhance a rescue attempt's chances .. or ward off a crazed mob - but the use would have to be closely monitored
Given the many goofy uses of tasers by goofy cops - i would fear a trigger happy response if used domestically - a tied up dog could be driven crazy or burnt alive , an injured war protestor unable to move or someone wheel chair bound or blind or an infant or a baby or what of a pregnant woman - or someone too elderly to run fast enough ... lots of things to consider and our police our too paramilitarized now - and Afghanistan has a sad history of friendly fire mistakes and abuse of power to date.. so i have little faith in its use or the discretion of its use there.....crg ![]()
US Army Heat-Ray Gun in Afghanistan
A newly-developed heat-ray gun that burns the skin but doesn't cause permanent injury is now with US troops in Afghanistan.
The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal weapon designed to disperse violent crowds and repel enemies.
It uses a focused invisible beam that causes an "intolerable heating sensation", but only penetrates the skin to the equivalent of three sheets of paper.
The discomfort causes whoever it's pointed at to immediately start moving away. They often scream but the US military says the chance of injury from the system is 0.1%.
It's already been tested more than 11,000 times on around 700 volunteers. Even reporters have faced the heat-ray.
Limit deaths
Lt. Col. John Dorrian, a US military spokesperson, says the kit is now in Afghanistan but no decision has yet been made on its use.
There's been much talk about the need to keep civilian casualties in Afghanistan to a minimum. The heat-ray gun could help.
The beam produced by the ADS can travel more than 500m (1,640ft) and is seen as an important new way to limit unnecessary deaths and minimise war zone casualties.
Developers also say it could also be adapted to other operations, like fighting drug smuggling at sea and general peacekeeping operations.
Research is continuing to make the system smaller, lighter and less expensive, says the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program.
The Active Denial System was first introduced in 2007 when during a media demonstration, airmen fired beams from a large dish antenna mounted atop a Humvee at people pretending to be rioters and acting out other scenarios that U.S. troops might encounter in war zones.
The device's two-man crew located their targets through powerful lenses and fired beams from more than 500 yards away. That is nearly 17 times the range of existing non-lethal weapons, such as rubber bullets.
Anyone hit by the beam immediately jumped out of its path because of the sudden blast of heat throughout the body. While the 130-degree heat was not painful, it was intense enough to make the participants think their clothes were about to ignite.
Documents acquired using the Freedom of Information Act claim that most of the radiation (83 percent) is instantly absorbed by the top layer of the skin, heating it rapidly.
The beam produces what experimenters call the "Goodbye effect," or "prompt and highly motivated escape behavior." In human tests, most subjects reached their pain threshold within 3 seconds, and none of the subjects could endure more than 5 seconds.
"It will repel you," one test subject said. "If hit by the beam, you will move out of it -- reflexively and quickly. You for sure will not be eager to experience it again."
But while subjects may feel like they have sustained serious burns, the documents claim effects are not long-lasting. At most, "some volunteers who tolerate the heat may experience prolonged redness or even small blisters," the Air Force experiments concluded.
The reports describe an elaborate series of investigations involving human subjects.
The volunteers were military personnel: active, reserve or retired, who volunteered for the tests. They were unpaid, but the subjects would "benefit from direct knowledge that an effective nonlethal weapon system could soon be in the inventory," said one report. The tests ranged from simple exposure in the laboratory to elaborate war games involving hundreds of participants.
The military simulated crowd control situations, rescuing helicopter crews in a Black Hawk Down setting and urban assaults. More unusual tests involved alcohol, attack dogs and maze-like obstacle courses.
In more than 10,000 exposures, there were six cases of blistering and one instance of second-degree burns in a laboratory accident in 1999, the documents claim.
As well, Air Force Times reported that "an airman received second-degree burns" during a test of the weapon at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia.
"He was being treated at Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Ga., and is expected to make a full recovery," Marien Corps spokeswoman Maj. Sarah Fullwood, spokeswoman Fullwood said.
The ADS was developed in complete secrecy for 10 years at a cost of $40 million. Its existence was revealed in 2001 by news reports, but most details of ADS human testing remain classified. There has been no independent checking of the military's claims.
