Just like Ortaine Devian, I got curious and tried to get the full 11-page report, but couldn’t find anything. However, I did find this:

The large-scale version of Active Denial Technology has been tested with more than 13,000 exposures on human volunteers both in static demonstrations and in realistic operational assessments," according to the Joint NLW Directorate spokesperson Kelly Hughes

Non-lethal capabilities fielded among the Services today include --

* Optical distractors or "dazzling lasers" provide non-verbal warnings to deter approaching individuals at a range of 25-1,000 meters

* Acoustic hailing devices produce focused, directional sound waves with pre-programmed foreign phrases to deter individuals at a range of up to 500 meters, depending on conditions

* Vehicle-entangling nets can be deployed in less than one minute to puncture and lock up the front tires of an approaching vehicle -- and, in doing so, give time and space to assess intent.

* The Vehicle Lightweight Arresting Device can stop 5,500 vehicle moving at 30 mph.

Non-lethal flash bang warning shots are effective up to 300 meters.

Within the Department of Defense Non-Lethal Weapons Program, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate and the Services fund science and technology, research and development, as well as test and evaluation of non-lethal weapons. It is important to note that the Services procure/equip and maintain their non-lethal weapons. The Services are also responsible for training for their service members on non-lethal capabilities.

Any new weapon the DOD develops is required to undergo a thorough legal, treaty and arms control compliance review prior to fielding. Non-lethal weapons are no exception. "All previously and currently fielded non-lethal weapons have undergone legal and arms control compliance reviews to ensure consistency with domestic law, and compliance with obligations assumed by the U.S. under applicable treaties, customary international law, and law of armed conflict," according to Hughes. "In addition, sharing accurate information on the technologies used in non-lethal weapons is an important part of our efforts at the JNLWD.

If they did experiments using the Active Denial Technology 13,000 times (exposures) on human “volunteers” both in “static demonstrations and in realistic operational assessments,” why was it then necessary to continue with this experimentation on the rest of the population??? Please excuse any naïveté.

Two pages in question presented @ 2:50:00 into video.

I made two text .pdfs of the pages for easy copy & paste searches for missing pages & related documents.
