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.
