Concept Title: NOISE WEAPONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Noise has significant properties supporting its use as a weapon. It is clearly incapacitating at different levels. A noise generating weapon could be developed to mirror the 'Star Wars phaser.' A hand-held, directed, variable-pulse, noise weapon could be capable of a range of options from disorienting to incapacitating the enemy. A larger, directed-noise weapon could be used to attack larger targets from mobile launching systems to military infrastructure. These weapons could easily be mounted on land vehicles or satellites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advantages: This technology could eliminate the shooting portion of a number of conflicts. By incapacitating an enemy with noise, our forces would be able to take control without firing a shot or losing a life. Furthermore, if we could pinpoint a headquarters, such as Saddam Hussein's during Desert Storm, we could bring a sufficient number of these weapons to bear on that location--quite possibly overcoming the top leaders and resolving a conflict in it's early stages. Imagine achieving all of the technological success of the Coalition Forces enjoyed during Desert Storm without using expendible weapons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Countermeasures: Currently there are no real countermeasures. Although soundproofing and possible redirecting of the noise could certainly prove to be sufficient. Since this is a new technology, systems have not been developed to combat it. Today's number one countermeasure would be to attack the weapon itself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial Applications: A directed noise, stun gun would have far reaching applications with the civil police force. The ability to stop or incapacitate an individual or a group of individuals with no lasting effects would be a significant breakthrough. Large directed noise weapons could be used to demolish large structures instead of continuing with the old wrecking ball or the current explosive technology.

Tervist! Kuna otsing vastavat märksõna ei tuvastanud, söandasin esimese postitusena foorumisse avada uue teema. Miks? Nimelt oman üsnagi õõvastavat kogemust kokkupuutest ülitugeva helirünnakuga. Juhtus see paar aastat tagasi Göteborgis Säve lennuväljast umbes kahe kilomeetri kaugusel.Teadaolevalt viibisid seal mingil põhjusel Tshehhi hävitajad. Nende äralennu suund oli täpselt üle minu asukoha- töötasin inim,- ja esemetetühjas hokiväljakusuuruses kaarhallis.Tulid, sunnikud madallennul täistuuridega, kogu see tühi hall võimendas omakorda seda hullu -kanonaad paari meetri kauguselt on vist õige väljend-mürinat.Ei jaganud enam ei ööd ega mütsi, niisugune paanikahoog tuli peale. Ehk on kellelgi midagi lisada või jagada. Leian kogemuse põhjal,et inimvastupanu neutraliseerimiseks ükskõik kas siis militaarsel või tsiviilotstarbel on see üsna tõhus relv!

Sellist asja ikka kesklinnas nagu teha ei tohiks ja üldse, mis mõte sellel oli, näidata võimu? Või mis iganes, aga nad lendasid ikka liiga madalalt.![[Pilt: 806090714221164.jpg]](http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/723/806090714221164.jpg)
