👉 An acoustic weapon, often referred to as an acoustic weapon system (AWS), is a type of military weapon that uses sound waves to incapacitate or harm targets. These weapons can emit intense, focused sound pulses that cause physical pain, disorientation, or even temporary hearing loss, depending on the frequency and intensity of the sound. Some AWSs are designed to target specific frequencies that can affect the human auditory system, while others may use lower frequencies to create pressure waves that can cause internal injuries or disorientation. Acoustic weapons are typically deployed remotely, enhancing tactical flexibility and reducing the risk to human operators.
