 New and Unusual Weapons For Military and Law Enforcement Personnel Published: Mar 6, 07 Comments: 2 Views: 5,088 You have to give them kudos for creativity - a company called Invocon plans to unveil their latest weaponry at the the Navy’s 2007 Opportunity Forum. Among their non-lethal weapons, Invocon will showcase their Vomit Beam - a Radio Frequency that is beamed through walls causing extreme vertigo, loss of balance and yes, vomiting to the room’s inhabitants. The idea is that hostiles can be contained without using lethal force… maybe Jack Bauer from 24 should look into this Vomit Beam!  IVC proposes to investigate the use of beamed RF [radio frequency] energy to excite and interrupt the normal process of human hearing and equilibrium. Invocon is advertising a weapon that boasts the ability to go through walls and incapacitate everyone in a room by making them lose their balance. "Second order effects would be extreme motion sickness," the company notes.
The benefits of such a weapon would be that in areas of extreme risk to Marine Corps personnel, hostiles could be controlled without loss of life. The weapon effect would be helpful in urban combat where rooms could be subjected to the EPIC stimulus and then subdued without further risk to friendlies or hostiles. Similar technology could be applied to law enforcement operations especially in hostage situations where all the people in a room could be incapacitated without damage and subsequently sorted out as to which are the bad guys and which are the good guys.
