Wonder how long it will take for someone to develop countermeasures.
Nice to see the Navy catching up. If I remember correctly, the Army already had a system like this in place back in the mid-80's. The MRE-delivered M9223 Dehydrated Pork Patty could initiate immediate, uncontrollable, and prolonged projectile vomitting among all exposed personnel within 20 meters of the release site.
Did anybody else first read that as "Navy Researching Vomit Bean," and get an image of a frigate pulling through the drive-through at Taco Bell?Navy Researching Vomit Beam
Don't know the wavelenths exactly, but microwaves are generally considered seperate, or at the very least on an extreme end of the radio frequencies. We'd have to know the approximate wavelenths of the rays they're using to tell. This would also tell you how to foil it. If the wavelenth of a radio wave is small enough, it'll go through a faraday cage.Aren't RF beams and microwaves pretty synonomous? What we have here is a "Nuke & Puke" option.
I can think of a few places I would like to permanently focus it.
Zoogster, if you're right, and we end up fighting at the end of the world, actually wearing tin foil hats, I'm going to be really embarrassed for all of the smack I've talked on the internet all of these years.
All kinds of less than lethal stuff being tested now down at Crane.
They're experimenting with blinding, vomiting, and, um, loss of all sorts of bodily functions
I was thinking more like the Taliban and Al-Queda. Not necessarily the whole country just a part of it. It would make a great buffer zone no one would want to enter.
I read a Sci Fi story once where the benevolent aliens used an "Orgasm Ray" as a non-lethal control device.
