Fused Weapon.pdf - how to take out an entire tank column, or much of
it, with a single weapon. This one has only been used once in combat;
during the original Iraq push to stop one of Saddam's tank columns from
advancing. It was dropped on the lead element of the tank column, took
out a dozen or more tanks, and had the rest of the tank operators out
with their hands up immediately. |

New Humvee weapons system keeps gunner covered inside (2/8/04)
Mike O'Dwyer has designed an ammunition
system which, for the first time, makes it possible to load a single gun
barrel with multiple rounds and to fire each round either singly or in
rapid succession. His company,
Metal Storm
has fielded a
36-barrel concept demonstrator, which demonstrated a maximum rate of
fire of more than 1,000,000 rpm." |

LRAD -
Troops get high-tech noisemaker (CNN: 3/3/04) Also
RNC-NYC: reported presence of long-range acoustic device (LRAD) at
protests has links to a number of stories regarding long range
acoustic devices.
ADS - Raytheon and the Air Force Research
Laboratory have developed the
ACTIVE
DENIAL SYSTEM, a non-lethal, counter-personnel directed energy
weapon. Global Security.org
has additional information on the
Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System (V-MADS). |
