The Greek mathematician Archimedesmay have made history over 2,000 years ago as the first person to ever use a directed energy weapon. According to a mysterious legend, during the Roman invasion of Syracuse, Archimedes rapidly constructed a hexagonal mirror when the Roman admiral Marcellus moved his ships out of the range of bowshot. Archimedes was...
A new type of crowd control weapon came to the fore during the Ferguson, Missouri, protests of 2014. As an active demonstration of the newfound capabilities of an increasingly militarized American policestate, countermeasures employed by the Ferguson Police Department to quell civil unrest included the use of LRAD sound cannons. Capable of projecti...
The apparent sonic attacks on the US embassy in Cuba rekindled decades-old fears about a different kind of secret weapon. In 1965, at the height of the Cold War, the Pentagon discovered that the Soviets were blasting the US embassy in Moscow with extremely low-frequency (ELF) microwave radiation. While far too weak to cook anything, it was determin...
In the wake of the Watergatescandal of the early 1970s, Democratic Senator Frank Church led a committee dedicated to getting to the bottom of any actions perpetrated by the CIA that may have violated the charter of this secretive intelligence agency. It was believed that the CIA had accrued undue unilateral power under the pretext of the Cold War, ...
In Arthur C. Clarke’s book Earthlight, the legendary science fictionauthor of the 20th century conceives of a futuristic weapon that uses electromagnetism to propel a jet of molten metal miles into space, spearing and destroying an attacking battleship. This type of armor-piercing weapon isn’t entirely unheard of. Since World War II, various arms m...
Between 1949 and 1969, the United States militarytested biological weapons on its own people without their knowledge or consent. One such experiment occurred in 1950 when a US Navy ship sprayed billions of tiny microbes into the atmosphere over San Francisco, causing a massive upsurge in illness and potentially killing one resident. Another took pl...
It’s been well established that subliminal messaging is used extensively in advertising. This type of marketing usually exploits the baser urges of the populace to influence them to buy a product or service. But what if the same principles used in subliminal advertising are also being used by the United States intelligence community for the purpose...
In the late 1920s, the United States Navy began exploring the tactical potential of airborne aircraft carriers. Two zeppelin-style airships were constructed, the USS Akron and the USS Macon, both of which carried a crew of 60 men and were capable of deploying and recovering Sparrowhawk fighter planes in flight. However, both Navy flying aircraft ca...
Potentially overshadowing the MOAB as the most lethal non-nuclear weapon in the United States’ arsenal, Project Thor is a technology designed by Jerry Pournelle in the 1950s that would obliterate enemieswith bolts from above. Colloquially termed “rods from God,” this type of Kinetic Energy Penetrator (KEP) would theoretically consist of a pair of s...
Hugo Chavez brought international attention to the HAARP facility in Alaska when he accused the United States Air Force of using this high-frequency transmitter array to trigger the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Until this point, casting aspersions on this United States Air Force research station was a faux pas committed by only the looniest of tinfoil ha...

- Directed Energy Weapons. The principle of directed energy weapons is just like it sounds, the weapon focuses energy in a single beam toward a target. Depending on what kind of energy or the amount of energy being focused, the beam may be invisible and is most likely fired without a sound.
- Railguns. While Russia was busy creating missiles and missile systems capable of flying at multiple times the speed of sound, the United States put some of its hypersonic weapons testing on hold.
- PHASR Rifles. The PHASR is a directed energy weapon that gets a special mention because it’s carried in rifle form. Before any Star Trek nerds get excited about ordering their men how to set their PHASRs, these weapons are always set to stun.
- The Laser Avenger. While it’s only number four on this list, the name puts it at number one in our hearts. The Laser Avenger is a truck-mounted anti-aircraft system that uses infrared lasers to knock out drones and other small aircraft.
Aug 9, 2023 · Our journey continues into the realm of bio weapons, where science meets the sinister, and into the fascinating landscape of laser weaponry. This book is an odyssey of revelation that challenges assumptions and ignites the intellect.

- Directed Energy Weapons – Laser Weapons System. Various different laser weapons have been in development for years. These weapon systems don’t operate in the way movies often depict—where they evaporate the target they are being used against.
- Long Range Acoustic Device. These systems use high-pitch audio waves to temporarily incapacitate their targets. This is a non-kinetic way to disperses a crowd or make an attacker think twice about continuing their current course of action.
- Stealth Bombers. Advanced fighter bombers like the U.S. Air Force’s F-117 Nighthawk have been designed with a series of stealth technologies that make them difficult to detect by enemy anti-air defense systems.
- Mind Control. Although not specifically a weapon, various countries have attempted to develop capacities to control the minds of individuals. Mind control is more of a scientific experiment than it is a military weapon, as no modern-day military has advertised the ability to control another human being with technology.
