Air Force Seeks Heat Ray

The U.S. Air Force has certified the Active Denial System (ADS) as safe after extensive testing.

The Active Denial System fires a beam of three millimeters waves (94 Ghz) at the targets.

The waves are absorbed by the top layers of a persons skin which makes them feel like they are on fire within three to five seconds. The net effect is to encourage the targets to leave the area immediately.

Targets who leave the area of the heat ray will suffer no long-term effects. Targets who somehow manage stay in the area can experience redness and minor blistering.

The Air Force has tested the system over ten thousand times. In all of those tests, there were only six incidents involving blistering and there was only one that involved second-degree burns. That last guy must have been one tough bastard!
