Quote:

"The ADS works by projecting a focused beam of 3.2mm wave electromagnetic radiation at a human target. This heats the water and fat molecules on the skin, causing their temperature to rise by up to 50C.

Pentagon "says that the ADS has a range of up to 500m, 10 times greater than current non-lethal weapons such as rubber bullets

* US Military withdrew ADS from Afghganistan without seeing combat.
* ADS produces a high-powered beam of electromagnetic radiation (wave length 3.2 millimeters and frequency 95 GHz), whose effects on human is  similar to the same way that a microwave oven heats food.
