This is a pretty cool non-lethal weapon, but a 16 hour boot up time makes it almost useless as a response unless you deploy it prior to some event. (not to mention it takes 2 big trucks!)
Anyway, the video of him getting hit is on the website. It isn't Youtube so couldn't embed it here.
========================================
QUANTICO, Virginia — One moment it’s a chilly afternoon. But as I learned, in the very next moment, and without warning, your chest and neck feel like they’ve gotten a blast of unbearable steam heat.
That’s because of an imposing device the U.S. military calls the Active Denial System. It’s an energy weapon, commonly known as the “Pain Ray,” that turns electricity into millimeter wave radio frequency. And heat. Lots of heat.
The military wants it to burn suspicious people who might pose a threat to a base. Yet the Active Denial System has never fired a millimeter wave in anger, despite 15 years in development. On a crisp Friday afternoon, however, the military wants the Active Denial System to burn a different target. Me.
