High Power Microwave systems are non-lethal deterrent. They are also effective against drones and anything with electronics.
We are seeing early days of directed energy protecting America 🇺🇸🦾
Exciting to see @DHSgov @DeptofWar at the forefront of innovation.
NEW: The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a heat ray weapon at the southern border.
The military-grade heat ray can shoot an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves at potential intruders.
The weapon can reach people more than half a mile away, according to the United States military.
According to the Pentagon, the heat ray weapon is non-lethal but causes a burning sensation on the skin that can last between 10 and 15 minutes.
The weapon sends an uncomfortable tingling effect on a potential intruder, generating "an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect."
Officials say the feeling is similar to the blast of heat you receive when you open up a hot oven.
High Power Microwaves can create non-lethal area denial fences for both humans and drones.
We are seeing very early days of this technology.

We are witnessing Islamists right now burning Paris because Europe has committed cultural suicide.
We should look to France as foreshadowing for what America faces if we don’t stop this here.
We are fighting to save our nation.
