Description

According to the U.S. Navy in 2004, the system would be "portable, low power, have a controllable radius of coverage, be able to switch from crowd to individual coverage, cause a temporarily incapacitating effect, have a low probability of fatality or permanent injury, cause no damage to property, and have a low probability of affecting friendly personnel". In addition to perimeter protection and crowd control, a proposed application of MEDUSA was "for use in systems to assist communication with hearing impaired persons".
