Pulse weapon brings cars to a halt

quote:
Originally posted by article
A British company has demonstrated a prototype device capable of stopping cars and other vehicles using a blast of electromagnetic waves. The RF Safe-Stop uses radio frequency pulses to "confuse" a vehicle's electronic systems, cutting its engine.

It said it believed the primary use would be as a non-lethal weapon for the military to defend sensitive locations from vehicles refusing to stop. There has also been police interest.

As the vehicle entered the range of the RF Safe-stop, its dashboard warning lights and dials behaved erratically, the engine stopped and the car rolled gently to a halt. Digital audio and video recording devices in the vehicle were also affected. E2V added that its device could also be effective against other types of vehicles, including boats.

E2V said the risks were lower than with alternative systems. Acpo suggested the machine's ability to stop motorbikes "safely" could prove particularly useful. Mr Holt noted that the tyre deflation devices used by some police forces posed the risk of causing "serious injury" if used against two-wheelers.
