The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military, designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human beings.
Sep 18, 2020 · The Active Denial System. Then there’s the ADS—the heat weapon. It works, according to the Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office’s FAQ page on the weapon, by producing radio waves....
Sep 17, 2020 · The Active Denial System (ADS) produces scalding heat, while the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) bombards targets with painful, intense sound.
ADS is explicitly designed to save lives. The Joint Force wants and needs Intermediate Force Capabilities like ADS. ADS is NOT like a microwave oven. It is LESS likely to cause injury than almost...
Oct 19, 2023 · The active denial system (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy, counter-personnel weapon system owned by the US military. It consists of a gyrotron, which generates and focuses a high-energy millimeter-wave radio frequency beam (a type of electromagnetic radiation)
The Active Denial System is an advanced, long-range non-lethal, directed energy, counter-personnel capability that projects a man-sized (1.5 m) beam of millimeter waves (not...
The ADS research program emphasized four major areas: 1) understanding the basic science and physiology of millimeter wave interactions with the human body, 2) evaluating specific effects on skin, 3) evaluating specific effects on the eyes, and 4) determining the risk of cancer.
Active Denial Technology is designed to protect the innocent, minimize fatalities and limit collateral damage across the range of military operations. How Does It Work? Active Denial...
Jun 1, 2009 · This paper explains and describes the advantages to ADS (Active Denial Systems) and how they can provide troops a capability they currently do not have, the ability to reach out and engage potential adversaries at distances well beyond small arms range, and in a safe, effective, and non-lethal manner.
Active Denial Technology (ADT)—which encompasses the use of millimeter waves as a directed-energy, nonlethal, counterpersonnel weapon—has the potential to provide an important new escalation-of-force capability to U.S. operating forces.
