Pentagon To Use Directed Energy Weapons In Iraq

UPI | September 15 2004

The Pentagon's Office of Force Transformation is retrofitting ground vehicles in service in Iraq with combined lethal and non-lethal weapons.

The Stars and Stripes reported Tuesday the program, dubbed "Project Sheriff," should give U.S. Army and Marines working in urban terrain more options, especially with potential noncombatants or civilians being used as human shields.

By next summer, the Pentagon hopes to equip four to six U.S. Army and Marine Corps vehicles with a combination of off-the-shelf technology and systems still being developed to be used for armed reconnaissance, raids, crowd control, security patrol and vehicle checkpoints.

Among the weapons under consideration is the Raytheon Co.'s non-lethal Active Denial System, a counter-personnel directed energy weapon that projects a speed-of-light millimeter wave of energy that makes a person's skin feel like it's on fire.
