Humans are not a target of the weapon under stipulations of the agenda of the defence, but targets do include UAVs, helicopters, and fast patrol craft. Rules of engagement have been developed for its use, but details have not been released. The Navy has released vi

Finally, we can percieve that one can say that this laser technology might be a great threat to mankind for their Imperial power and cost for the equipment.But one should understand that this laser technology can save millions of lives just in a blink .However,one cannot digest this fact as only for a good cause , so if this technology is in good hands we can say that we found one of the finest technology that helps for defence

Therefore the use of Nuclear Weapons is avoided as much as possible as it causes more harm than good.

The LaWS is designed to be used against low-end asymmetric threats. Against a vital point on small UAVs, one can be shot down in as little as two seconds. When facing small boats, the laser would target a craft's motor to disable it and make it dead then repeating this against others in rapid succession, requiring only a few seconds of firing per boat. Targeting the platform is more effective than individual crewmembers, although the LaWS is accurate enough to target explosive rockets if on board, whose detonations could kill the operators. Against larger aircraft like helicopters, it is able to burn through some vital components, which would cause it to fall and crash.

They investigated the effect of the use of less-lethal weapons, conductive energy devices (CEDs), and oleoresin capsicum (OC)(pepper) spray on the prevalence and incidence of injuries to police officers and civilians in encounters involving the use of force

They analyzed data from 12 police departments that documented injuries to officers and civilians in 24 380 cases. They examined monthly injury rates for 2 police departments before and after their adoption of CEDs.

Aweapon,arm, orarmament isany device used with intent to inflict damage or harm to living beings, structures, or systems. Weapons are used to increase the efficacy and efficiency of activities such ashunting,crime,law enforcement,self-defense, and warfare . one type of the weapons are Non-lethal weapons, also calledless-lethal weapons,^[1]less-than-lethal weapons,non-deadly weapons,compliance weapons,or pain-inducing weapons areweaponsintended to be less likely to kill a living target thanconventional weapons. Non-lethal weapons are used in combat situations to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable, where rules of engagement require minimum casualties, or where policy restricts the use of conventional force

These Include sleep gas, pepper spray, tear gas, water

Odds of injury to civilians and officers were significantly lower when police used CED weapons, after control for differences in case attributes and departmental policies restricting use of these weapons. Monthly incidence of injury in 2 police departments declined significantly, by 25% to 62%, after adoption of CED devices.

2.Advanced Test High Energy Asset (ATHENA)

1)Fission Weapons

2)Fusion Weapons

However,there are some wepons which are a combination of both fission and fusion reactions

Court of Justice(Highest Court of United Nations) has issued an open advisory prohibiting the use of Nuclear weapons

1)ICBMs:Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles

2) Strategic or Tactical Missiles

1)Agni V

2)Agni VI

It is used to jam the communications between the enemies armed forces.

1)Which country was the first to use a Nuclear Bomb?

2)How many countries are believed to be possess nuclear weapons?

3)What elements are mostly used in an Nuclear Bomb?

4)Who is the famous scientist who played a key role in the development of nuclear warheads(Famous for the Pokhran Tests) in India?

5)Why do Nuclear Bombs cause health disorders?

1) The United States of America(USA)

2) Officially 8 countries(China,Russia,USA,France,UK,India,Pakistan,North Korea) possess them but Israel is believed to possess them as well.

However some countries share nuclear weapons with some countries. For example,Belgium and Italy share Nuclear Warheads on NATO basis.

These weapons can be used for a wide range, for their long lasting durability and high applications this can be used even in space,underwater nevertheless on the ground

So this laser weapon can be used for submarines or artillery (like tanks) or aeroplanes

Atomic Bombs must be avoided as much as possible and no country must threaten to use them.If they use these weapons, there might be a chance for a Third World War and its Consequences will be beyond imagination. These weapons of mass destruction can also side effects like Mutation. After the war, the world as we know will be destroyed.

-women can carry them with them for their personal safety(pepper spray)

usage of non-lethal weapons has helped police control crowd situations better when compared to other weapons.Personal safety will also increase significantly and crime rate will decrease if these are used.
