About This:
Woman's Medium image of active denial system (ADS) microwave weapon that directs a tight beam of electromagnetic energy (95Ghz) which heats the skin to 130 degrees. Designed as a nonlethal weapon by DOD weapons labs so as not to cause a public backlash. The ADS is designed to only penetrate the skin to 1/64" to avoid major damage, however 2nd & 3rd degree burns are possible, even death. The variables are distance to the target (human being), power setting, & length of exposure. If the ADS is used at close range & at a high power, & the target (human being) cannot get out of the path of the beam, or has health issues...severe injury and even death are possible.
