Millimetre waves, lasers, acoustics for non-lethal weapons? Physics analyses and inferences

摘要

"New technologies of non-lethal weapons (NLW) are under military research anddevelopment, mainly in the USA. Due to incomplete information, judgement under criteriaof the laws of warfare or of human rights is hampered. This study analyses four potentialNLW technologies which are based on physics to provide reliable information for suchassessment." (excerpt)
