LRAD

LRAD’s decibels deter attackers
24 November, 2008 06:07:00 Capt.-David-Hare

"Damn, that hurt," I blurted out after experiencing an LRAD 500 demonstrated by Doug Morrison of Drum Cussac.

Morrison held a demonstration of the LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) at Derecktor Shipyard’s parking lot in South Florida for Capt. Greg Drewes of M/Y Predator and Klaus Jackson of M/Y Fortunate Sun. When I heard about the demo, I secured an invitation to experience the LRAD system firsthand.

My first knowledge of acoustical deterrence came from a CNN newscast in 2005 when the cruise ship Seaborne Spirit used it to deter pirates off the coast of Somalia. It worked marvelously well.

My mentor and friend Capt. Charles Hacker of M/Y Avia always has the system on deck and in stand-by mode when he transits the Red Sea. (To date, he has not had to direct the system at any incoming targets.)

The LRAD is a highly directional, long distance (500 meters) acoustical array for clear, intelligible hailing, notification and unmistakable warning. The audio program is on an MP3 platform and can be programmed with virtually any language spoken on the planet. So, if one is transiting the Red Sea, you can use the local dialect then change the program for transiting the South China Sea to that region’s spoken language.

The verbal message warns an incoming vessel to stand down, turn around and stay away or harm will come to them. After the verbal message, a deeply piercing, bone-chilling, ear-splitting, high-pitched warble sound emits from the speakers in a highly directional pattern. The person assigned to the LRAD uses a site, much like on a rifle, to point the acoustic signal directly at the incoming vessel. No human can withstand the sound without ear protection.

The LRAD fills a critical capability gap that was exposed after the attack on the USS Cole in 2000. The system is used to communicate, at safe ranges, and to determine the intent of the incoming vessel. It provides a highly effective and immediate non-lethal defense enhancement.

Human hearing occurs in two dimensions, frequency and intensity. The LRAD is optimized for a frequency of 2,000 hz, the frequency humans are most sensitive to. At 145 db the sound is substantially louder than a military jet at take off. This enables the operator to initially control a hostile environment without weapons or can provide the extra minutes to broadcast an alert and implement lock-down procedures.

Additionally, if trained marksmen are on board, it provides the clear understanding that if the oncoming vessel does not do a 180-degree turn, lethal force may be the only deterrent. Once the operator establishes that intent, deterministic rules of engagement can be employed.

The LRAD is not a total solution, but it does allow the crew more time in which to react if a hostile vessel continues to approach the yacht.

For example, in June 2004, the LRAD was used in Bahrain 410 times, according to U.S. Navy data. Of those, 338 times or 82 percent of the time, approaching vessels immediately diverted.

With more than 400 LRAD units deployed worldwide, the LRAD 500 is a sleek, compact choice for providing an unmistakable warning to an unknown incoming vessel.

At 26 pounds with a 20-inch diameter, anyone onboard can operate the system.

The LRAD 500 can be powered from 90 to 240 vac, 50 to 60 hz, drawing a continuous 2 amps. And the LRAD housing can be ordered in white, tan or gray.

I certainly desire "The Sound of Force Protection" in the form of an LRAD 500 on board my next transit of the Red Sea, South China Sea or the coast of Northern South America.

Pilots Urge Government Alerts On Laser Incidents

Pilots Urge Gov't Alerts on Laser Incidents
Thursday , January 06, 2005



ADVERTISEMENT
WASHINGTON —

Officials with airline pilots unions say the government should be doing more to alert them to incidents involving lasers (search) and to provide guidance about how best to protect themselves against beams that can blind.

At least eight recent incidents involve lasers being pointed at aircraft cockpits as they approached for landings. No one was hurt and all the aircraft landed safely.

Denis Breslin, an American Airlines captain, said pilots learned about the incidents only through the news media. He said the government should have a way to alert pilots so they can take precautions.

"Pilots want a generalized warning and training. I think that's not too much to ask," said Breslin, first vice president of the Allied Pilots Association (search).

Dennis Dolan, the top security coordinator for the Air Line Pilots Association (search), the largest pilots union, said pilots need to find out about recent incidents in their preflight briefings so they can prepare to react if confronted by a similar event.

Federal Aviation Administration (search) spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency is very concerned about the safety of pilots, passengers and the rest of the flight crew. "We're putting the finishing touches on fresh advice for pilots," she said.

An FAA study released in June found that most pilots subjected to a laser flash in a simulator reported temporary visual impairment and brief distraction.

Of the hundreds of cases in the past in which airplane cockpits have been illuminated by lasers, none resulted in an accident, the study said.

The study concluded that "a laser attack could be quickly deployed and withdrawn, leaving no obvious collateral damage or projectile residue, and would be difficult to detect and defend against." A laser that's powerful enough could blind flight crews, resulting on a crash, the study said.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department (search) sent a memo to law enforcement agencies last month saying evidence indicates terrorists have considered using lasers as weapons. But federal officials have found no evidence the current incidents are part of a terrorist plot.

Breslin said pilots have some guidelines for what to do if hit with certain kinds of lasers. For example, if they see a red or green light, they can shield their eyes.

Different protections are used for different kinds of lasers, and pilots want to know what they are, he said. Ultraviolet beams, for example, can be filtered out with sun shades.

Shaoul Ezekiel (search), Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor emeritus of laser science, said a "pulse" laser that emits a short burst of light is especially dangerous because there's no chance for pilots to look away.

"For pulse lasers, you haven't got a chance," Ezekiel said. "All it takes is one blast and it's too late."

Putting louvers on the windscreen could reduce the probability that a laser would blind a pilot, he said.

John Nance, a former pilot and aviation safety consultant, said military-grade lasers can actually punch through the back of the retina and kill the victim by causing a cerebral hemorrhage.

Nance said he is concerned that some of the recent laser incidents could be terrorists testing laser equipment in preparation for an attack.

"They'll be looking to blow out the eyes of a pilot," he said.

The Army's Telepathic Ray Gun

The Army’s Telepathic Ray Gun A newly declassified report details the Defense

Department's mind-control weapons concepts
By Megan Miller Posted 03.21.2008 at 12:17 pm 3 Comments
What we imagine the telepathic ray would look like: Photo by Erin Silversmith The U.S. Defense department has tested some spooky weapons, but those involving mind control and telepathic attack may be near the top of the list. A newly declassified 1998 document released under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act (download the pdf here), describes potential weapons for crowd control, such as a microwave gun that could beam words directly into people’s ears, and an electromagnetic pulse that causes epilepsy-like seizures.

Military, Aviation & Space, defense department, mind-control, weapon The report also discusses a weapon that can heat a victim's body internally, producing an artificial fever. It is unknown whether the fever-inducing technology was actually tested, but the report notes that the equipment needed "is available today" and that the resulting fever would keep a victim incapacitated for "any desired period consistent with safety."

In an interview with New Scientist, Steve Wright, a UK security expert at Leeds Metropolitan University, warned that such technologies could be used for torture. "The epileptic seizure-inducing device is grossly irresponsible and should never be fielded," He said. "We know from similar artificially-induced fits that the victim subsequently remains 'potentiated' and may spontaneously suffer epileptic fits again after the initial attack."

Cloak of Light Makes Drone Invisible?



By David Hambling May 09, 2008 | 11:29:00 AMCategories: Bizarro, Drones, Planes, Copters, Blimps
Counter-illumination -- lighting up an aircraft's leading edges -- is a decades-old technique for making planes harder to see. But researchers have come up with a new, "spectacular" twist on this method for "visual signature suppression."

Back in WWII, US Navy aircraft flying antisubmarine patrols were being spotted by U-boats at long range, giving the subs a chance to dive before they could be attacked. The problem was the bright background of the sky, which meant that even white aircraft show up as a dark shape. The solution was the 1943 Project Yehudi, in which a TBM-3D Avenger aircraft was fitted with lights shining along the leading edges. These could be adjusted to match the background light level, cutting the range at which the aircraft could be spotted from twelve miles to two. A B-24 Liberator was also modified successfully with "Yehudi lights." Counter-illumination was tested again during the Vietnam War, using a F-4 Phantom with lights codenamed Compass Ghost, apparently with some success.

The idea reappeared in the 90's with tests of an F-15 fitted with fluorescent panels. According to one report, “the fighter virtually disappeared as it lifted off the runway.” (It may have been miles away at the time though...) The latest incarnation can be seen (no pun intended) in a report at FlightGlobal, "Electroluminescence is key to invisibility." Researchers from the University of Kansas outfitted a six-and-a-half-foot drone "with an electroluminescent surface" -- a material that lights up in response to a current. Then they took a pair of pictures, when the drone soared to a thousand feet.

The left picture is with the electroluminesence system off, the right was taken with it on. Squint hard, and you'll see the difference - the drone is a small, gray blotch in the middle of the left frame.

"The current state of progress in the lab is far beyond this and involves other spectra. Still, the visual signature suppression is relatively spectacular...to the uninitiated," says the University of Kansas aerospace engineering department's associate professor Ron Barrett. Barrett collaborated with Joris Melkert of Delft University of Technology on the early work.

Of course it's hard to tell from a photograph just how effective the system really is - the drone isn't much bigger than a good-sized bird, and the picture is taken from a thousand feet away. But the technique could certainly make drones much harder to spot, and those with electric engines may be virtually impossible to hear, making this ideal for up-close reconnaissance. Just don't expect to hear too much more about this one.

Boeing Fires High-Energy Chemical Laser

New Mexico Business Weekly - May 19, 2008

Boeing fires high-energy chemical laserNew Mexico Business Weekly
The Boeing Co. fired a high-energy chemical laser aboard a C-130H aircraft in ground tests for the first time May 13 at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.

Boeing is developing the Advanced Tactical Laser for the Department of Defense to destroy, damage or disable targets with little or no collateral damage. The laser will be used to support missions on the battlefield and in urban operations.

Boeing concluded laboratory testing at Kirtland last year after demonstrating reliability in more than 50 firings, said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems.

"The first firing of the high-energy laser aboard the ATL aircraft shows that the program continues to make good progress toward giving the warfighter an ultra-precision engagement capability that will dramatically reduce collateral damage," Fancher said.

After conducting a series of additional laser tests on the ground and in the air, the program will fire the chemical laser in-flight at mission-representative ground targets, Fancher said. The test team will fire the laser through a rotating turret that extends through the aircraft's belly.

The industry team participating on the project includes L-3 Communications Brashear, which made the laser turret, and Hytec Inc., which made some structural elements in the weapons system.

A unit of The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA), Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense business developers. The St. Louis-based unit is a $32.1 billion business with 71,000 employees worldwide.

On Protecting Human Research Subjects

FDA Scraps Helsinki Declaration on Protecting Human Research Subjects

Merril Goozner head of Integrity in Science reports (below) that "FDA Scraps Helsinki Declaration on Protecting Human Subjects."

In so doing, the FDA has taken a quantum leap down the slippery slope toward uncivilized medical experimentation.

The agency is lending the US government seal of approval to unethical medical experiments (primarily commercial drug and medical device tests).

A recent example of an FDA approved, lethal experiment is a trial testing Northfield's artificial blood product, PolyHeme--even as the company and the FDA had evidence showing that patients' exposed to the product were at higher risk of death than those who were given saline.

In one Illinois town where the product was tested, 83% of the population is black. "If you look at the absolute number of deaths, it kills more patients than saline does."

Such experimentation harks back to the Nazi regime's version of medicine--not civilized medicine that America is supposed to represent.

Inside the Air Force's LASER Lab

Inside the Air Force's Laser Lab



I love the bit in Bond films where 007 goes round Q’s laboratory checking out the latest top-secret gadgets. That’s why I enjoyed talking to Capt.Wegner and his colleagues at ScorpWorks, source of a variety of laser weapons and other one-of-a-kind devices.

The ScorpWorks is the Air Force Research Laboratory’s in-house development team for laser system prototypes. Although it has existed since 1992, they have shunned publicity until this year. A laser weapon does not need to convert the target into smoking rubble: they are much more versatile than that.

The Laser AirCraft CounterMeasures (ACCM), which I detail in this week's New Scientist, is a nonlethal coaxial laser that sits alongside a helicopter door gun. It dazzles the target, preventing them from firing accurately and providing protection for the helicopter, but without risking civilian casualties.

It’s more than a dazzler. Experience with the Saber 203 laser dazzler in Somalia showed that it was too low-powered to affect vision, but anyone illuminated beat a hasty retreat as they knew a weapon was being aimed at them. The ACCM should have a similar effect, scattering potential threats on the ground and leaving only the truly dangerous ones - and the 4,000 rpm minigun should deal with them.

The PHaSR laser-dazzling rifle unveiled a few weeks ago is similar (and not a hoax). In a riot-control situation, the idea is that lighting people up with this portable laser will separate peaceful protesters from the stone-throwers. The PhaSR’s dual-wavelength laser will also make countermeasures difficult, and Capt. Wegner points out that the end product will probably be very different to the bulky prototype.

The PHaSR is a relative of the Portable Efficient Laser Testbed (PELT). This is another riot-control weapon, but one that works by heat – "the first man-portable heat compliance weapon of its kind" Take a close look at the picture of PELT on page 52 here and you'll see a signature Scorpion logo – a rare visible sign of ScorpWorks handiwork.

Elsewhere they've been utilizing the laser as a sensor. By picking up the reflections back from the human eye, invisible laser sensors can detect people looking at them - similar to the way animal eyes light up when you shine a flashlight on them. A sniper detection system is in the works.

Even more sophisticated is BOSS, the Battlefield Optical Surveillance System. This is a vehicle-mounted setup which uses retro-reflection and a number of other technologies to spot targets in pitch darkness. It can be locate, identify and invisibly designate targets, so they won’t even know they've been spotted until a laser-guided weapon hits (and probably not even then). Exactly how far advanced BOSS or its successors are is not known.

The ScorpWorks name is a deliberate echo of Lockheed’s famous Skunk Works, renowned for producing world-beating aircraft like the F-117 stealth fighter and SR-71 Blackbird on time and within budget, a feat achieved following a set of bureaucracy-busting rules laid down by the legendary Kelly Johnson.

ScorpWorks reckon that many projects get completed within two years and with prototypes built for less than $300k. At that price you could get about 20,000 different projects for the price of one Airborne Laser.

The Skunk Works is famous for the many black programs that originated there, and you do get the impression with ScorpWorks that what they have revealed is the tip of the iceberg. We know their customers include Special Operations Command, Air Force, Marines, DARPA and the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, but we don’t know what they bought. Even their unclassified programs can only be discussed in broad terms. If they told me more, they’d probably have to kill me – but I bet they’d use a really impressive laser.

Just another popgun-tech 'wikitedia' website:

1. You don't need a GF to disperse personnel-- just a neural-code stream that projects 'burn' through an LPL-ionized airpath. (cf those old stimulated-color spinning B&W-wheels; Even Star Trek The Classic had 'like' neural-neutralizers.)

2. Multi-Interferometry-Laser (MIL) chews like a drill-bit rather than bang-bang-slow pile-driver.

3. Night-Blinding-Laser (NBL) doesn't even damage vision:-- just strobes spots-and-streaks into the eyes. (cf Try finding a blinking beacon at night: it's all-over-the-place as the eyes look-about).

Well, On-with my legal-drama screenplaywriting...
