OK.  You're going to use this thing against civilians.  The last time the US
military used less-than-lethals was the pull-out of Somalia.

Given that instance, this new device would be used in similar "peacekeeping"
duties.  If the population is well armed enough, an RPG would take out the dish
on one of these things pretty easily.  You're better off with Stinger balls and
Mace paintballs would be a cheaper alternative.  Every man could at least field
such a LTL device.
