From today’s science fiction comes tomorrow’s science… first it was robots, now it’s laser like guns that really stun.
British authorities are considering the use of a “microwave beam weapon” as a substitute to the water cannon as a means of controlling riotous crowds.
The so-called active denial system (ADS) projects microwave-like radiation for distances of more than 500 yards, creating an excruciating, full-body burning sensation in anyone caught in its beam. The millimetre-wave rays penetrate skin to a depth of about 1/64in but cause no permanent damage, according to Raytheon, the system’s US-based maker. Prototypes of the weapon, called Silent Guardian, weighed about three tons and were mounted on trucks.
Just wait until the robots get hold of these… toys.
