Ucwaningo oluningi selwenziwe ngomthamo omkhulu onganikezwa ubuchwepheshe obufana ne-laser. Manje kubonakala sengathi singaqhubeka kancane ngoba, ngenxa yalolu cwaningo, kubonakala sengathi i-United States Army ikwazile ukwenza uhlelo ngalo, ngenxa yobuchwepheshe be-laser, imisindo ingadalwa ngaphandle kokushintsha ama-athomu omoya azungeze ipulatifomu.
Akungabazeki ukuthi sikhuluma ngokusetshenziswa okuhluke kakhulu kunalokho ebesikucabanga ekuqaleni. Ngaphandle kokungabaza sikhuluma ngokusetshenziswa okungajwayelekile, kanye neqiniso lokuthi iPentagon ilindele ukuthi ilungele 'i-armaezingakwazi ukuzivikela, hhayi ukubulala, izitha. Lesi sikhali senziwe njengengxenye yohlelo lwe-United States Non-Lethal Weapons Programme.
Lesi sikhali sikwazi ukudala imisindo ngaphandle komoya omncane ngokuguqula ama-molecule omoya
Ngaphambi kokuqhubeka, ake ngikutshele ukuthi yize onjiniyela be-United States Army bakwazile ukwenza umsindo ngogongoloza lwe-laser, iqiniso ukuthi le nkundla isesezigabeni zokuqala zentuthuko. Njengoba kuphawuliwe UDavid Law, akekho omunye ngaphandle komqondisi wophiko lobuchwepheshe lwe-United States Non-Lethal Weapons Program:
Siseduze nokumenza akhulume nathi. Sidinga ama-kilohertz amathathu noma amane ngaphezulu.
Ngokuqondene namazwi kaDavid Law, akutshele ukuthi le laser ekwaziyo ukudala umsindo, namuhla, iyakwazi ukudala uhlobo lomsindo olufana ncamashi nalolo olukhiqizwa abantu. Ngenxa yalokhu, uhlelo olwakhiwe izingxenye ezimbili ezihluke kakhulu seludaliwe, njengoba sekuveziwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi sine- i-femtosecond laser ekwazi ukudubula ukuqhuma kwesikhathi esiyimizuzwana eyi-10 kuye kwengu-15, yinde ngokwanele ukwenza ukuthi ama-electron akhishwe kuma-molecule omoya bese enza ibhola le-plasma.
I-femtosecond laser inesibopho sokwenza ibhola le-plasma okumele lishaywe yi-nanolaser ukukhiqiza ukukhanya, umsindo nokushisa
Lapho ibhola elishiwo ngenhla selenziwe, ososayensi basebenzisa i-nanolaser ukuyishaya ngemvamisa emincane kakhulu. Ngenxa yalokhu, futhi ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokuthola indlela yokusebenza ekwazi ukuphatha leli bhola le-plasma ngendlela ethile, ukukhanya, umsindo kanye nokushisa kungakhiqizwa. Okwamanje, njengoba sesike saphawula phambilini, iqiniso ukuthi yize onjiniyela be-United States Army, bakwazile uhlelo luyakwazi ukudala imisindo efana nabantu. Inhloso elandelwayo ngale phrojekthi ukudala imisindo ethile noma ukushisa ezindaweni ezihlukene emkhathini.
Ngale ndlela eyingqayizivele, kulindeleke ukuthi ikwazi ukudida amabutho ngenxa yesikhali esingeke sidale noma yimuphi umphumela omubi kunoma ngubani ophakathi kwendawo yale ngxenyekazi eyingqayizivele nendawo lapho kudalwe khona lo mphumela. Ngokusobala futhi njengoba sekuveziwe, okwamanje nangaphandle kokwenza ukulungiswa okufanele, sekuvele kufezekisiwe ukuthi ukuvezwa kwale misindo kucatshangelwa ukuthi 'amashumi amakhilomitha'.
UMnyango Wezokuvikela unethemba lokuthi uzokwazi ukusebenzisa lesi 'sikhali' esiyingqayizivele esikhathini esifushane
Njengoba kuphawuliwe okuvela eMnyangweni Wezokuvikela, umqondo abanayo maqondana nalezi zikhali ezingabulali ngukuthi ukunciphisa ukufa nokulimala unomphela kwabasebenzi ngenhloso yokukhiqiza 'imiphumela eguqulwayo'. Isibonelo sokuqonda konke lokhu ukuthi, ngokusobala, banethemba lokugcwalisa igebe phakathi kwezigaba ze 'memeza udubule'futhi ngethemba lokuthi uzoholela'ukwehliswa kwamandla'.
Ngalo mbono, ovela eMnyangweni Wezokuvikela wase-United States, banethemba lokuthi bazokwazi ukusebenzisa lokhu okusha 'i-arma'ngaphakathi kwezindawo eziyinkimbinkimbi zasemadolobheni ezigcwele izakhamizi, njengezokuphepha ezingeziwe ezindaweni zokubheka ukuze zikwazi ukusebenza njengesixwayiso emisebenzini yezinqola kanye nokuphepha emisebenzini yokusiza noma ukuphatha izixuku ezinkulu.
