<HTML>Mikrowellen-Waffen und Laser-Waffen zählen zu den Waffen mit gerichteter (elektromagnetischer) Energie, den Directed Energy Weapons. Über diese schreibt der Experte des NewScientist aktuell:
About the closest thing you get to a ray gun. This class of weapon directs electromagnetic energy at the target. The purpose of some is to make enemies feel 'uncomfortable' enough to surrender or retreat, without actually harming them. For example the Pentagon’s Active Denial System uses millimetre waves to induce a slight burning sensation on the skin. But concerns have been raised that it might also be capable of cooking the target.</HTML>
