India to test 'Star War' weapons on Kashmiri protesters

Srinagar, India, Aug 30, IRNA -- The Government has now decided to equip its police and paramilitary forces with slew of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) also called laser dazzlers to tackle Kashmiri protesters.

Latest reports said 64 people have been killed and thousands injured in less than three months, mostly in direct firing by paramilitary CRPF and police forces on the stone throwing protesters.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is understood to have given the go-ahead for the selective use of the gun, which is non-lethal and aimed at disorienting a crowd or even militants in action, news reports said.

The laser dazzler would flash a laser beam causing the protesters to go virtually blind for nearly a minute, good enough time for the troops to nab them, reports added saying that thelaser beam is two to three metres wide.

The weapon was produced two years ago by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Times Of India recently quoted a top official saying that the DRDO has been trying to develop its own set of Star Wars-like weapons including the DEWs like Laser dazzlers.

The weapon has already been successfully tested by the army in ?real combat? situations in Kashmir, reports added.

Prime Minister Singh gave a hint about the weapon when he said last week, ?We need to revisit standard operating procedures and crowd control measures to deal with public agitations with non-lethal, yet effective and focused measures.?

United Nations conventions however prohibit the use of laser guns that cause permanent blindness.

The gun originally developed by the US in the early 1990s was initially referred as far more terrifying military weapon.

Its development was arrested mostly due to international outcry that use of military dazzlers would be extremely cruel and inhumane, and the weapons were condemned both by the International Red Cross and the United Nations.

Experts said that a major problem that made laser dazzlers a political plutonium before they were ever even been deployed was that the difference in the amount of energy needed to temporarily blind and permanently blind a target was a very thin and not easily defined line.

For a long time, any laser that was capable of temporarily blinding a target in one instance could very easily permanently blind one in another, depending on many variables such as atmospheric conditions, range, orientation of the target, length of exposure, frequency, beam intensity, and more.

These problems could not be easily solved, and laser blinders fell out of favor as a form of personnel neutralization and began to be looked upon more for weapon sensor neutralization.

News reports in India however said that the guns developed by DRDO were fully compliant with the UN conventions.

Low Intensity Conflict:Laser dazzlers to tackle Kashmiri protesters"

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is involved in development of defence technologies and now focusing on customization of certain technologies already developed for military operations to these new emerging security threats and development of new technologies and devices as projected by security forces, both military and para military, during recent interactions with them.

Based on security forces? needs and DRDO capabilities, the requirements have been grouped in various technology heads, like technologies and devices for surveillance and Reconnaissance; Enhancing Day and Night Vision capability; Incapacitation; Arms and Ammunitions; Detection and Diffusion of Explosive and IEDs; Communication and Jamming; Personnel Protection and Support Systems.

A comprehensive mission mode programme with participation of many DRDO labs, security forces and industries is being formulated. Some of the weapons developed by DRDO which are quite useful for LIC Operations are :

-- INSAS Rifle (Weight with loaded magazine - 4.1 Kg and effective range ? 400 m).

-- Modern Sub Machine Carbine (MSMC) (Weight with loaded magazine ? 3.4 Kg and effective range ? 200 m).

-- Oleo-Resin (Chilli) Based Hand Grenade.

-- CR Based Shells.

-- Tear Gas Grenades (to incapacitate terrorists and flush them out from their hideouts and for mob dispersal / riot control operations).

-- Plastic Bullets (Non-lethal & non-poisonous bullets do not expand after penetration and cause only superficial injuries).

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Varun Gandhi in Lok Sabha today.

I also heard something called chilli bomb developed by DRDO some days ago , i think its right time to test it now. Its a non-lethal weapon and does not violate human right norms and will also prove to be effective to burn red the useless arse of protestors in kashmir.

Where can I buy one???

This is hilarious.

The use of the term "Star Wars" in this story is a misnomer. This actually sounds like a phaser set on wide beam, which would be more suited to "Star Trek". Now if the police were to use high intensity laser beams that sliced the muslims in half, that would be different.

I know I'm picking nits here but you have to understand the never-ending battle between Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans as to which is superior. It's a sickness, really. 

[muman613]

I read that here in America the prison system will begin to use a Radiation method of crowd control, basically microwaving those who are the target... It is said that the effect feels like your skin is burning but localized to the spot where the beam is focused. I don't know if I would like to try this microwave beam myself...

Can't wait to see the day there's a Riot in Cell Block #9 and the inmates capture the guards and then cook them live on TV using their own Microwave Punishment weapons!

                                                                           

This "hi-tech" foolishness needs to end, as we are becoming a dehumanized society resembling the Nazi Reich or the Soviet Gulag -- all so mad inventors and their Legislative enablers can enrich themselves at humanity's expense.

Los Angeles: Active Denial System "Pain Ray" Being Tested on Prisoners
Thursday, August 26 2010 @ 10:20 PM UTC

After years of development and testing by defense contractor Raytheon Company and several branches of the military, the notorious Active Denial System, (aka the "pain ray") is being publicly deployed in the United States for the first time.

The National Institute of Justice and Pennsylvania State University are working with Los Angeles county prison officials to install a test unit at Pitchess Detention Center, in Castaic, California. The device, a 7 1/2 foot tall "scaled down" version of the original ADS, uses concentrated beams of electromagnetic radiation to heat water and fat molecules in the body in order to produce unbearable pain and burning sensations in whoever (or whatever) it is directed towards. While Raytheon and the military claim to have tested this weapon system on hundreds of volunteers with thousands of exposures, critics assert that the risks remain high, listing partial thickness burns, eye damage, and the possibility of serious injuries and illnesses for those with piercings and tattoos.

The Active Denial System has had a convoluted history, plagued by lurid rumors of hundreds of animals killed during secret tests. Rumors persist about test deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, but the military publicly refutes such claims, saying that it had been rejected from being fielded in Iraq due to concerns that it would be seen as a torture device. While the system was indeed deployed to Afghanistan at some point in 2010, it was removed from service this summer. It seems that Raytheon has been looking for a more controlled environment to test their weapon, and they may have found it at Pitchess. According to NBC Los Angeles, there are 3,700 prisoners in the facility, and there have been over 250 "inmate on inmate assaults" so far this year.

A local news station and CNN affiliate, KTLA, recently reported on a riot involving 200 prisoners throwing rocks and debris at guards who were "attempting to stop them from entering a restricted area". According to the report, tear gas and "non-lethal weapons" were used, but even CNN seems unsure as to whether the ADS was used, claiming they are still "awaiting comment on whether the new... device was employed..." This seems to be in keeping with the shady history of the ADS; even the name has been changed repeatedly. First, it was the "Active Denial System". Then, the name was reported to be changing to "Silent Guardian". This most recent incarnation is being referred to as the "Assault Intervention Device".

The "evaluation" at Pitchess is said to be lasting 6 months, at which point the National Institute of Justice will decide whether it is suitable for use in prisons across the country. While an NBC video showed prison guards and officials "zapping" each other with the device amid lots of belly laughs, what will the future of this weapon look like? History has repeatedly shown that as soon as new "less lethal" weapons are widely fielded to law enforcement, they are used to abuse and torture people. Rubber bullets, pepper spray and tasers are all commonly used in ways that directly violate their supposed "safety" guidelines. Roughly one year ago, the Long Range Acoustic Device (aka the "sound cannon") was deployed in the United States for the first time at the mobilization against the G20 in Pittsburgh. While many of those subjected to the LRAD found ways to cope with the intense levels of noise it produced, it's clear that we are entering a new age of crowd control, with sophisticated weapons that can be abused in totally new ways.

Those responsible for deploying this weapon, as well as the mainstream media, suggest that the main function of ADS in the prison system will be to reduce prisoner on prisoner violence. It seems as if it may simply be a new, more efficient way to control prisoners who are revolting against an overcrowded, crumbling penal system. Given the amount of money Raytheon and the government have invested in this weapon, it would hardly be surprising to see it deployed on a national level after this token "evaluation" period.

Re:  "For those who think I am making this up, I have found a reference to this: "

Not only are you not making it up, but I consider this device to be yesterday's news, as it was developed along with a dozen or more other such weapons by the Dept. of Defense's DARPA division back in the early 2000's.

Primarily developed to enslave the American population here in the U.S.A. .

Tested in Iraq and Afghanistan to use them as the dispensable guinea pigs, and then they're to be used to enforce martial law against all decent Americans.

[Spiraling Leopard]

On 'Future Weapons' there was a 'soundbeame' device that could be directed at targets. The target could do nothing else than drop his weapon and cover his ears.

They probably even have devices to 'sexually arouse' women to use them as sexslaves or to get them into porn.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not watching you...

damn when i saw 9 replies in such short span, was thinking what was cooking, now i know it was muman's microwave technology 

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

A flamethrower would be a lot cheaper, and more permanent.

muslim youths are immune to those, as since childhood, they are used to the sounds of bombs and bullets, mosque prayer calls..etc

flamethrowers can damage the surroundings as well.

hmm, which one has Darth Vader? that one was good.

And we're supposed to care about the Koranimals' surroundings why?

of course not. But most of these protesters come near government property, and hence need to be careful.

When you say 'Star Wars' weapon the first thing that comes in mind id the light saber. It is a humane weapon that can kill instantly and has the added advantage of burning the wounds it causes so there is no blood spill.

[MassuhDGoodName]

rE:  "the light saber "

Do they make one that runs on two AA batteries?

yes and you can use those for peaceful purposes, like this

No they used Project Bluebird for that.

With a filter? Not that I would know anything about that.

[syyuge]

It is great that India could at least think of something like this.

Concentrated Chillies, blinding Laser Flashes and MSMC Carbines on terrorist muslamices.
