ADS, Say Hello to the Goodbye Weapon
TreyActive Denial System
The first I heard of this was in a Popular Science magazine 2 to 3 years ago. Finally getting enough steam to be deployed in Iraq.
"Soldiers roll up in a Hummer. Suddenly, the whole right half of your body is screaming in agony. You feel like you've been dipped in molten lava. You almost faint from shock and pain, but instead you stumble backwards -- and then start running. To your surprise, everyone else is running too. In a few seconds, the street is completely empty."
"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."
When I read about it first they were also developing a version of the ADS system to be used as a deterrent is secure buildings, almost like a force-field.

"New bombs can be rushed into service in a matter of weeks, but the process is more complex for nonlethal weapons. It may be years before the debates are resolved and the first directed-energy nonlethal weapon is used in action."

Says:I wonder if they can make a portable version of this...but instead of making people run away it makes women want to have sex...

Says:The article said that there is a portable version, or there is one in the works.... which would definitely have some possibilities.
