Infra-Red Pain Beams For Police, MilitaryBy David Hambling December 24, 2008 The National Institute of Justice , the police's R&D arm, is continuing the development of hand-held equivalents of the military's Active Denial System.As I report over in New Scientist, one of them uses the same microwaves as the Pentagon's non-lethal pain-ray; the other is based in an infra-red laser which they say achieves the same effect at target, but which can be made smaller and lighter. The infra-red device is none other than the PHaSR, which we last saw in 2005 being touted as a laser dazzler . The reason for the PHaSR's bulk is now apparent; a dazzler can be the size of a pen, but this has to pack in a lot more power to heat the target, even if it's only the outer 1/64 inch of the skin. According to the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program's fact sheet on PHaSR: PHaSR achieves the desired degree of protection through the synergistic application of two non-lethal laser wavelengths during the course of protection activities that will deter, prevent, or mitigate an adversary’s effectiveness. The laser light from PHaSR temporarily impairs aggressors by “dazzling†them with one wavelength. The second wavelength causes a repel effect that discourages advancing aggressors.
Don't phase me, bro!
Throw some strings on there and it would look like a guitar, at least that's what I thought when I first saw it.
Does it come in pink and where can I get one?
