According to KNX-AM news radio, a Los Angeles affiliate of CBS News, the Pentagon will deploy a Star Trek-like device in Iraq next year that will inflict less-lethal force in order to achieve crowd control.
The device, called the "Sheriff", is mounted on a Humvee and emits microwave radiation that causes its targets to feel uncomfortable levels of heat. Crowds are expected to disperse in reaction to the device to evade its effects.
KNX noted that, during testing of the weapon, subjects were advised to take off eyeglasses and empty their pockets of coins in order to avoid injury.
Smaller versions of the device are also expected to be eventually deployed.
