ADS projects a focused, speed-of-light milli-meter-wave
energy beam to induce an intolerable heating sensation on an
adversaryÂ’s skin and cause that individual to be repelled without
injury. The picture on the right depicts the prototype currently
in development. ADS will enable U.S. forces
to stop, deter and turn back an advancing adversary without applying
lethal force. This capability is expected to save countless lives by
providing a means to stop individuals without causing injury,
before a deadly confrontationdevelops.
