I am glad scientists are working on non-lethal ways to disable enemies. It’s nice to have extra tools in the old war toolbox.
However, this article really concerns me. Really read the headline. Now read it again.
The US Army hopes, within a few years, to deploy a plasma shield – a machine that generates a protective screen of dazzling mid-air explosions – to stun and disorient an enemy.
What sort of strategery are those people over at New Tech Scientist pursuing in their copy editing? Someone dropped the ball.
One thing is for sure, I’ll be stunned and disorientated if the bureaucrats get this technology to the battlefield in my lifetime. A really useful invention would be a machine that cut through the red tape for you, so you could actually accomplish a reasonable amount of progress on a project.
