https://www.jnlwp.com/misc/fact_sheets/ADS%20Fact%20Sheet%20September%202008.pdf .<br />

La versione acquisita dall’U.S. Army, <strong>non</strong> è la full-size "Version 2," ma una<br />

versione più leggera e meno potente nota con il nome <strong>di</strong> Silent Guar<strong>di</strong>an, che la<br />

Raytheon descrive come "roughly 1/3 the size and power of the other Active Denial<br />

Systems", 758 capace <strong>di</strong> essere efficace a <strong>di</strong>stanza superiore a 250 m (mentre l’ADS 2<br />

arriva fino ad oltre 700 m). 759<br />

Il modello Silent Guar<strong>di</strong>an è montato su un camion commerciale Ford 550, 760<br />

mentre l’ADS 2 pesando circa 5 t (antenna compresa), deve essere montato su<br />

mezzi HEMTT (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck). 761<br />

Il DoJ ha recentemente manifestato il suo interesse allo sviluppo <strong>di</strong> una<br />

versione portatile del sistema, efficace a <strong>di</strong>stanze più ridotte ed impiegabile per la<br />

tutela dell’or<strong>di</strong>ne pubblico da parte delle forze <strong>di</strong> polizia. 762<br />
