Human Immobilizer Light on UAV
US Army researchers are working on fitting a high powered human-immobilizing spotlight onto an autonomous flying robot.
The light is a modified Maxa Beam light from Peak Beam Systems Inc. The high intensity xenon light is already available in a handheld and remote perimeter security models.
The powerful light can shine up to 7,500,000 candlepower and switch from spotlight, floodlight or stobe mode. By varying the frequency of the strobe the light can be used to disable and disorient enemies.
The army plans to use the unmanned autonomous non-lethal weapon as a "immobilization / deterrent device."
It could also be used to goof on people into thinking they were abducted by a UFO. That would be fun.
