Active Denial. That's the code name for the world's first non-lethal directed energy weapon, currently being tested. It directs heat energy at insurgents carrying weapons, selectively targeting those who are dangerous, because of the metal objects (weapons) they hold, and causes no harm to others. It could protect the staff of a US embassy in a volatile third-world country; it could chase off villagers surrounding downed pilots in a war; or it could take out terrorists before they get a chance to act. That’s the theory.
