Active Denial System

The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal weapon designed for crowd control and perimeter security. It emits a high-frequency microwave beam that rapidly heats the surface of a person's skin, creating an intense, burning sensation without causing permanent damage. The sensation is brief, prompting individuals to move away quickly. ADS is intended to be a humane alternative to lethal force, providing military and security personnel a way to deter or disperse individuals at a distance while minimizing injury risk. It relies on focused energy, ensuring that only those in the beam's path are affected.
