Israel Presents ‘Roar’: A New Non-Lethal Crowd Dispersal Means
[Jpost] The new device, named ’Roar,’ was used during Saturday festivities along the Gazoo Border.
Israel had developed a new non-lethal method to disperse crowds called ’Roar’ [in Hebrew, Sheaga], Arutz Sheva reported on Sunday.
The device uses radio waves.
Not much had been published on the new system. It is likely to be derived from existing Long Range Acoustic Devices [LRAD] which emit warning tunes at a very high frequency humans cannot tolerate and may cause long-term damage to hearing if exposed to over time.
LRAD has been used since 2009.
Non-lethal methods to disperse crowds include sticky riot foam and high-impact water cannons.
