An area denial weapon is a device used to prevent an adversary from occupying or traversing an area of land. The specific method used does not have to be totally effective in preventing passage (and sometimes is not) as long as it is sufficient to severely restrict, slow down, or endanger the opponent. Some area denial weapons pose long-lasting risks to anyone entering the area, specifically to civilians, and thus are often controversial.
In medieval warfare, sharp and sturdy stakes were buried at the bottom of long lines of ditches, pointed end up diagonally, in order to prevent cavalry charges in a given area. Even if the stakes were spotted, soldiers would be forced to dismount and effectively give up their purpose as cavalry as well as becoming easier targets. The correct layout of these extensive lines of ditches and the quality control of stake size, form and placement was part of the craft of war.
A more modern version, allowing quicker dispersal and providing the advantage of being hidden more easily, are caltrops, though items bearing close similarity (small balls with spikes) had been in use for most of antiquity. Many variants were also used, such as boards with metal hooks, as described during battles of Julius Caesar.
The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military, designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human subjects. Raytheon is currently marketing a reduced-range version of this technology. The ADS was deployed in 2010 with the United States military in the Afghanistan War, but was withdrawn without seeing combat. On August 20, 2010, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department announced its intent to use this technology on prisoners in the Pitchess Detention Center in Los Angeles, stating its intent to use it in "operational evaluation" in situations such as breaking up prisoner fights. The ADS is currently only a vehicle-mounted weapon, though U.S. Marines and police are both working on portable versions. ADS was developed under the sponsorship of the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program with the Air Force Research Laboratory as the lead agency. There are reports that Russia and China are developing their own versions of the Active Denial System.

Vietnam (UK /ˌvjɛtˈnæm, -ˈnɑːm/, US i/ˌviːətˈnɑːm, -ˈnæm/;Vietnamese: Việt Nam [viət˨ næm˧]), officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV; Vietnamese: Cộng Hòa Xã Hội Chủ Nghĩa Việt Nam ( listen)), is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. With an estimated 90.5 million inhabitants as of 2014, it is the world's 14th-most-populous country, and the eighth-most-populous Asian country. The name Vietnam translates as "Southern Viet" (synonymous with the much older term Nam Viet); it was first officially adopted in 1802 by Emperor Gia Long, and was adopted again in 1945 with the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh. The country is bordered by China to the north, Laos to the northwest, Cambodia to the southwest, and Malaysia across the South China Sea to the southeast. Its capital city has been Hanoi since the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1975.

Los Angeles (i/lɒs ˈændʒəlᵻs/ loss AN-jə-ləs or loss AN-jə-liss) (Spanish for "The Angels"), officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City, the most populous city in the state of California, and the county seat of Los Angeles County.
Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Historically home to the Chumash and Tongva, Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542 along with the rest of what would become Alta California. The city was officially founded on September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The city experienced rapid growth with the discovery of oil.

The JP233 was a British submunition delivery system consisting of a pair of large pods carrying several hundred submunitions designed to attack runways. A Panavia Tornado equipped with the JP233 would fly over a target runway, at which point the pods would dispense their payload. This is an unusual feature of the JP233, as most other submunition delivery systems essentially function as free-falling bombs rather than remain with their aircraft during operation. However, the pods are jettisoned once empty. Each JP-233 was divided into a rear section with 30 SG-357 runway cratering submunitions and the front section carrying 215 HB-876 anti-personnel mines. Both types of submunitions were retarded by small parachutes. The SG-357 weighed 26 kilograms (75 pounds) and was a two-stage mu...
These weapons are too terrible to contemplate and should never be used. Most weapons of war, from pistols to fighter planes, are generally thought of as legitimate and — considering they are meant to kill — fairly humane tools of war. These weapons can be used in a way that their ability to kill and maim is focused on an individual, legitimate target, whether it be an enemy combatant, vehicle, or facility. Such weapons are also designed to kill relatively quickly, if for no other reason than efficiency. Then there are weapons, indiscriminate and inhumane killers, that have the potential to strike at noncombatants and even affect human civilization on a global scale. There are also weapons that inflict agonizing injuries leading to prolonged suffering and death. Some of these weapons of...

Today, Sino-Vietnamese relations are again hitting a low point with escalation of tension due to South China Sea dispute. In this video, we will look into 5 weapons that Vietnam can use to block any aggression from China. INTRODUCTION: In 1975, the armed forces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam People’s Army) defeated the Republic of Vietnam, capturing Saigon and putting to end nearly thirty years of civil war. The victory came 3 years after the United States, unwilling to pay the price of continued engagement, left the war. In 1979, the People’s Republic of China invaded Vietnam in an effort to punish Hanoi for its actions in Cambodia, and for its association with the Soviet Union. The war lasted a month, with Chinese forces leaving after heavy losses and without achie...
The Active Denial System (ADS) is a US-based non-lethal antipersonnel weapon/system using a energy beam that through strong and directional microwave radiation. ADS emits a beam of electromagnetic wave with frequency of 95 GHz to a subject. When the waves touch the skin, the wave energy is transformed into heat in contact with water molecules of the skin. A pulse of 2 seconds would heating the skin to a temperature of about 55 ° C, causing a very intense sensation of burning pain. It would take 250 seconds of exposure to the beam to burn the skin The Advanced Denial System is considered as a electromagnetic radiation weapon. The ADS was developed in secret for 10 years at a cost of 40 million US dollars. Its existence was revealed in 2001, but most of the details on the effects of ADS...

Egyptians & Romans Spies tired to perfect arms by making them smaller & deadlier. Today DARPA made following 30 jaw dropping weapons that will make your hair stand up. 1. For example, when you hear Army Grenade Launcher - You imagine single use huge heavy tube 2. Yet Typical Grenade launcher Used by Delta Force is way smaller and capable of launching 6 grenades before reloading 3. DARPA modified 25.9mm ammo into the actual grenades converting your 10 gauge shotgun into a tank buster 4. Launcher used by CIA is even smaller and can launch grenades without an operator by setting its timer at the needed time for the shot 6. By the way, modern grenades look nothing like that. 7. They are much smaller and deadlier because they contain depleted Uranium instead of TNT 9. This EMP grenade that ...

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy This time, we're covering the DSR 50. Black Ops 2 marks the weapon's debut in the Call of Duty series, and it serves as the high-damage, bolt action option for those seeking the maximum possible one-shot lethality. The DSR-50 is a German rifle, designed and manufactured by DSR Precision. It is a higher-calibre variant of the DSR-1 design, built around the powerful .50 BMG anti-materiel cartridge. Like the DSR-1, the .50 calibre variant is a bolt-action rifle in a bullpup configuration, with its magazine behind the trigger for a shorter overall length. A forward magazine holder in front of the trigger holds a second mag for faster reloads - a useful trait, given the paltry 3 round capacity of the standard box ...
This is by far the hardest, in my opinion. There's a lot of Operatives that show up at about 10 seconds and 20 seconds into the map and you're under time pressure to reach the VIP before they kill him. I probably tried to complete this in solo 100 times before I finally got it. Equipped: -Stealth -P90-SD PDW -Veterinary Pistol (never used) -Raider Vest (too slow with the heaviest armor; die too easy with the lightest) -Stinger x2 -Spy Cam (never used) The key to this map is the stingers--use them as area denial weapons. The first stinger not only kills the operative (got to get the timing just right), it stops hostiles from coming through that door. The second stinger is intended to stop them from going through the door so they don't kill the VIP, and the final stinger is to kill and...
