walls and what have you so there's that side and that is infrastructure-based and there is the other thing that is truly let me say directed and in that sense you have someone sitting behind a piece of equipment that is aiming or locking on to your position in order to deliver
yeah a certain amount of power and whether what the mechanism of delivery of that is can vary so on the one hand you have very simple systems that are designed to deliver
just high-powered microwaves pulsed or not even pulsed i've experienced very rudimentary systems that clearly not from you know they're not peer adversaries let me say and in a in a way i think they're
in a sense more dangerous because there is uh you know even if you weren't trying to use them in a lethal manner you might end up you know doing so unintentionally um and so there's on that side but then you you you know uh you know again it sounds ridiculous that i put it like this
You know quality when you see it and that sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
I mean the subtlety of the effect is
displays the level of technological advancement of the person on the other end.
And so, for example, there are systems that can direct particle beams.
That is really the kind of exotic end.
And then with that, you can well, it depends what scale you're using.
Typically, these things are in low Earth orbit and, you know, you could direct it down onto a target on Earth.
You're not going to, generally speaking, use that on an individual unless they're the president of a country or so on.
But then you have much smaller devices that do the same thing.
But again, that is the sort of higher end of the technology spectrum.
That is not...
I wouldn't say that's particularly commonplace.
And then in between those two things, you have a kind of spectrum.
So you have things that are very sophisticated surveillance devices.
let me say any old any old fool could set up a microwave gun i mean i could probably do that and you could like get a really high power generator and direct it at someone i would never do that but i think that that's not beyond the capability of you know your
Average person in the street given enough time and given enough, you know enough information on how to do it But certainly when you move to the level of you know, the surveillance devices that is incredibly delicate sensitive precision engineering equipment, you know uses a technique called Optical phase and from interferometry and actually it's not optical and
