There's just something so agro about a claymore mine.

Tamp it into the ground, set a trip wire or a command detonation chord
and clack one off when the bad guys get too close. Nothing like a
spray of 700 ball bearings backed by C-4 to ruin your pursuer's day.

But in today's counterinsurgency fight, the mighty claymore comes with
a lethal certainty far more final than a "hearts and minds" fight can
stomach.

We've heard a lot about the controversial "Taser" system used
primarily by law enforcement and civilians uncomfortable with
firearms.

But take a look at the company's newest rig – one that harkens back to
that B-movie Michael Crichton dud "Congo."

The TASER Remote Area Denial system uses an infrared camera triggering
device that trips an electrifying jolt of "Do Not Enter" on those who
tread where they shouldn't.

    TRAD is a revolutionary new concept in area denial, deploying
TASER neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) technology to incapacitate
intruders who violate areas secured with a TRAD system.

    The true power of TASERNET can be realized when TRAD modules are
installed in a networked security solution. Ideal for protecting high
value facilities or operations such as checkpoints, command centers,
depots, aircraft insertions, and spec ops, as well as fixed
installations such as embassies, air fields, utility facilities,
pipelines, etc., TASERNET provides the user the capabilities of visual
observation and oversight coupled with the ability to engage and
incapacitate targets remotely. A simple user interface allows the
operator to see, track, and identify targets with specific target
designators indicating whether each target is a "friend" or "foe."
