Edited by: Flaming sambuka on 04/09/2006 20:27:32 Can somebody please tell me (if anyone knows) what the mounting ontop of this hummer is? there are quite a few of them in iraq . Doesnt look like radar, ive heard it could be some form of brainwashing tech, laser weaponry or even microwave weaponry.
Edit: forgot to post link, doh!

Originally by: Find Articles Developed under the direction of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense command, the Zeus-Humvee laser ordnance neutralization system (HLONS) represents the first highpower laser weapon system to successfully engage and neutralize unexploded ordnance (UXO). The system integrates an up-armored Humvee with a solid-state laser that has an effective stand-off engagement range of up to 300 meters against unexploded ordnance and surface laid land mines. The laser neutralizes or negates the ordnance by focusing energy on the outer casing of the target, heating the munition until it is destroyed by internal combustion. The combustion created by the laser produces low-level detonations rather than activating the explosive power designed into land mines and UXO.
That it?

looks like a laser rangefinder and longrange camera mounting if you ask me.
Will probibly be used for longrange reconisance the camera will no doubt be able to read a newspaper from 10km away or something silly

Edited by: Flaming sambuka on 04/09/2006 20:44:04 Ya laocoon, looks to be it although i have my doubts, the manufacturers website kinda looks shoddy, i would expect it to come from big company like boeing etc... Ive seen a vid of a ground mounted AA laser and that was far too big to be mounted on the top of a hummer so you can see were im coming from ;\
Heres a link i found to the laser i was talking bout, pretty cool :D

Well, it ain't that, there's issues with these in that microwaving people alive, which is probably in the top ten most painful/gruesome ways to die, is not a valid military tactic. Or so I've heard...... ----------

Yo, I can tell you that that is an older model of humvee. As for the box on top, uhh I would HOPE you can't find out what it does on the internet.

So is that why there's a 'Humvee' dealership selling 'Humvees' by my house?
Hummer = Not a vehcile.
Hummer was a nickname Humvees were given, and people just keep using it. I've seen marines point to camoed Humvees with their gunnery mounted (empty ofcourse), and say "that's our Hummer".

Looks like an avenger from C&C generals.
Anyway, laser seems to be the most likely one, I say this because I remember first seeing these before the iraq war started, and reading about them on the internet.
Also, a laser built for doing what this one is doesn't need to be nearly as large as something used against aircraft, 300 meters is a relatively short distance for a laser of that size, espically if it's a pumped solid state laser, then the power supply can be much smaller.
Please STOP comparing EvE to WoW, they are polar opposites, and are made for completely different audiences. Seriously. |

Looks like the Army's solution to the IED problem maiming and killing scores of our troops 24/7.
Hope this actually works though, because the military is sometimes slow in outfitting and converting it's equipment. For example the reinforced plating for Humvees to reduce the damage of IEDs.

Lmao! wonder if the terrorists use a Road Angel in their veichles. Cue robitic voice: "Warning...GATSO Two...hundred...metre...slow now..."
...on the other hand using a banana might be a viable alternative.

High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)As now known as Humvee for easier saying ...
A CIVILIAN version Hummer yes the word Hummer was adapted by civilians and now is wide used, but it also became an official name for civilian version of the vehicle.
As far as a dealership next to your house.... let me ask you this: you believe everything a dealership/dealer tells you or writes on their name If you do, oh boy
The dealer probably trying to be cool and create a little attention by naming his civilian versions HMMWV (humvees) to appeal to those who are not in military but wanna feel like they are

Thought is was gonna be sound cannons. The cool thing about the sound cannons, is they have them on SUV's here in America.. Saw the LRAD units in New York during a political uhh.. protest.. Let's just hope they don't flip the wrong switch or turn the dial up too high.. otherwise, peoples skulls might vibrate a bit too much.

It actually looks like an IR or nightvision type camera.
Believe it or not, the Paradise Valley Police Dept in Arizona uses cameras very similar to those, only much smaller. Gotta keep those million-airs and billion-airs safe, ya know... Seriously though, thats what they look like.
