Capability based planning will need to supplement and eventually supplant the current threat based planning paradigm. The acquisition of a network centric warfare capability that seamlessly integrates the sensor-decision maker- shooter grid must therefore be a national priority. Relevant scenarios for joint operation/mission range from low intensity operations, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) Operations to high-intensity combat operations like Amphibious operations, Air Land Operations (ALO) / Battle, Air Transport Operations, partMaritime in operations Air Operations coordinate (MAO) all etc activities against broadacross spectrum all instruments of adversaries of power ranging from fromthe earliest organised stages militaries of the to belligerent regional powers to violent extremist organizations.

  • 19 the Active Denial System (ADS) Is a Non-Lethal Weapons Technology
    THE ACTIVE DENIAL SYSTEM: OBSTACLES AND PROMISE BENJAMIN BUCH AND KATHERINE MITCHELL The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal weapons technology that uses millimeter-wave directed energy to arrest and deter potential adversaries. Developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Department of Defense’s Non-Lethal Weapons Program, ADS provides U.S. forces with a highly effective means of responding to potential threats while also preserving human life. Despite its promise, ADS has confronted non-technological challenges in its deployment, most recently in Afghanistan. This brief analyzes the political, psychological, and sociological barriers to the use of non-lethal directed energy weapons. Specifically, it surveys the psychological and sociological biases against radiation-based and non-lethal technology and how these prejudices were overcome in the past. It also examines potential human rights concerns and political complications that might arise from the deployment of ADS in population protection operations. Given these obstacles, the report proposes a series of recommendations for the use of ADS moving forward. The Changing Nature of Warfare The two decades following the conclusion of the Cold War have presented a new strategic and operational landscape for American military planners. The overwhelming conventional superiority of the United States has encouraged adversaries to adopt unconventional asymmetric strategies and tactics. Rise of Asymmetric Conflict Given U.S. conventional military supremacy, American forces have increasingly encountered adversaries who seek to exploit asymmetries in vulnerability, logistics, and organization through the novel use of strategy, tactics, and technology. This asymmetric form of warfare avoids traditional force-on-force confrontations in which U.S.
