Other exhibits focused on the employment of less than lethal
weapons. Such systems are developed by IMI, including
Stun Cartridges (SC)
for 120mm tank guns, which enables tanks to use their main the
armament in
complex MOUT situations, reducing collateral damage. Other
types of grenades presented here were CS rifle grenades which enable
infantry to deploy CS at twice the range of existing hand grenades
and mortars.
Various types of multi-effect
CS grenades and "Sprinkler" type CS canisters
were also unveiled by Ispra, as part of their arsenal of less than
lethal crowd control systems.
A different concept for a non lethal crowd control was
demonstrated by EROD. The company developed an acoustic phased array system which
can incapacitate humans from a standoff range, by applying high
power acoustic load. The
system can be mounted on a tactical vehicle, and radiate a narrow,
high power steerable acoustic beam, disorientating humans.
The high power is inflicted on the target by coherent superposition
of the acoustic outputs from 36 horns. Both horizontal and
vertical beams can be formed simultaneously to create a point
effect within buildings.
