Could new weapons stun or paralyze with a beam of radio energy? I have discussed proposals for bioelectromagnetic wepaonry in DefenceTech before, here and here, but for the first time details are emerging of Air Force-sponsored work in this field.
I have a piece in ther TechWatch section of this months Popular Mechanics magazine exploring a new nonlethal program. In addition to the well-known Active Denial System (ADS) — which amounts to a mobile microwave oven — basic research has started on something potentially far more effective and with much wider implications.
This report, entitled “Interdisciplinary research project to explore the potential for developing non– lethal weapons based on radiofrequency/microwave bioeffects” — states their goal:
Our research is to lay the foundation for developing non-lethal stunning/immobilizing weaponry based on radiofrequency (RF)/
microwave(MW) radiation by identifying RF/MW parameters potentially capable of selectively altering exocytosis, the process underlying neurotransmitter release and hence nervous system functioning.
The ADS works purely by heating skin a simple thermal effect. According to the Air Force, in health terms it’s exactly the same effect you’d get from heating with radiator or hot water or standing by a fire, and it is this heating that produces the ‘repel’ effect on its targets. As far as we know, the ADS does not have any physical effects other than straightforward thermal ones. But the new project is concentrating on the non-thermal effects created by longer-wavelength radiation, looking at how microwaves can affect the nerous system.
This area has already seen a lot of debate. Mobile phones and their transmitter towers use microwaves, and it is hotly contested whether the microwave radiation has any effect on the human body other than simple heating.
The researchers at the University of Nevada have concluded that non-thermal effects of RF do exist and may be harnessed. In an abstract here (on page 317)
a study of Non-Thermal effects of RF Radiation on Exocytosis — states The effects of RF exposure on catecholamine release that have been observed to date cannot be explained by an increase in temperature.
And theres more. Other work by the same team, is described here
It will also support a DEPSCoR– funded program that extends those studies to include microwave frequencies and to explore the effect of pulsed and CW RE/microwave exposure on skeletal muscle contractility
The suggestion is that a correctly tuned beam of microwaves (possibly pulsed or modulated) would be able to interefere with skeletal muscles. This might ultimately give a means of producing the same sort of non-lethal effects as a Taser — but potentially from much greater range and over a wide area.
So far, the work has been entirely on in vitro cell samples in the laboratory, and only modest alterations in cell function have been produced. This is a very long way from being able to actually influence a living creature. Any suggestion that this sort of weapon has already been fielded by the US should be treated with skepticism.
The researchers are keen to point out that there could be a variety of non-military applications too, such as new types of therapeutic tool for non-invasively treating conditions like chronic pain.
Everything is in very early stages in the US program. But, as I mentioned a while back, the Russians have been looking at this technology for years. Dr. Vitaly N. Makukhin of the Trymas Center in Moscow has published papers on “Electronic equipment for complex influence on biological objects” which he claims can produce effects including disorder of the autonomic nervous system. Few people have taken him seriously in the West before. Now that the same sort of effects are being confirmed in US labs, perhaps we will start taking more of an interest in what this type of weapon may be able to do.
Neil Davison of the Center for Conflict Resolution has already questioned “whether it is in any way acceptable to develop bioelectromagnetic weapons that could have an incapacitating and suppressing effect on people by manipulating their nervous system or their muscles“
As with Tasers and the ADS, the ethical issues around this one are liable to become the focus for some very lively debate.

In theory This is very probable. Reason, your body and brain process signals through electrical means the secret is finding the correct frequency as well as why the body might repel a certain frequency which would have drastic effects. Example Is it the stucture of cells which create a barrier is it a certain protien that insulates it etc. Just as lead would repel microwaves. I don’t think it would be difficult to create such a device.
It’s not really so simple – if it was just a matter of finding the right frequency then we would have had such weapons a long time ago. It’s a combination of frequency, intensity, waveform, duration and possibly other factors which produces effects, and these are very little understood so far.
However, if the Nevada team are correct than there are indications that we may be able to utilize effectively them in future.
Theinformation reported is absolutely correct. As humans, we are self-contained electrical systems. That is how our underlying infrastructure is designed. As such, we are also subject to that which interferes with this system or enhances this system. Our brains sit in a conductive solution and the neurons have a threshold that must be reached before firing. External sources can and do override internal management along these lines. What has been accomplished with wires previously can now be accomplished without wires now. Wireless is radiofrequency. Now that science has been able to harness and focus previously fre energy, directed energy has been able to be “weaponized.” Mofifications of the same energy is used for different purposes in the military sector, the medical sector, and the consumer sector. This is core technology for the 21st century and has in fact been developed far beyond even what has been described here. Our world has changed whether it is realized or not because power to control another’s physiological and pyschological state has been already achieved. People need to be aware of this.
On the other hand, one could wear full body metallic link outfit (Faraday Cage), and render the weapon useless. Just like in household microwaves, the front door always has that metallic screen.
Shades of Star Trek! Set your phasers on ‘stun’, men!
The Fusion Energy Foundation released information they collected after Russian researchers asked American researchers what Americans know about Radio Frequency Weapons. This was over 20 years ago. LAmerica had investigated such concepts but apparently dropped it. The Germans in WWII seeminingly experimented with ultra power sound weapons. Lately American have presented a massive sound energy device to incapacitate crowds at a distance. But Radio Frequency Weapons are fairly new to us. It is estimated that a 50 thousand watt transmitter, like the size you could carry in a large tr4uck, could generate sufficient results to incapaciitate an entire town. The Russian efforts however, seemed to be geared, not to incapacitate, but to immediately kill the target population buy preventing brain signals from reaching the rest of the body.

I don’t think thats the “big” problem.
Looks like this is some type of “worldwide” problem.

Yours sincerely.
As a teenager my step dad was in charge of basing the mx missle whille working at Norton AFB in S. California as a Lt.Col. in the US Airforce. He used to brag, when he was drunk at night and raging away, about various aspects of his program “I can put a missle through a window in the Kremlin” ect. He spoke at length about using a train based missle launch system that was protected by a “microwave transmitter” that was a pod that popped up on the train if a ” bunch of Greenpeace people” discovered the trains whereabouts. He claimed it would disorientate if certain distance perameters were breached, cause auto defecation if protestors drew closer and even death if they got withing a certain distance. “In vino veritas”
