Abstract

The contemporary security environment has increasingly unpredictable mutations and the international scene seems to be gripped by a conflict that threatens to erupt at any moment, becoming an open conflict, violent and able to spread quickly everywhere. The technological development of the last decades and the so-called revolution in military affairs have not only produced beneficial consequences for human society, but have also opened the possibility of developing new technologies for the benefit of the terrorist organizations. These include infrasound and ultrasound technology, sources with continuous or pulsed operation, capable of acting in a very discreet regime, being very hard to detect, also capable of causing serious harm to human health and even the death. The fact that such devices have the ability to act completely silently amplifies their dangerousness. Due to the authors’ research, the present paper aims to present a series of relatively simple technologies for making such weapons which can work with acoustic waves in the non-audible regime. The field is interesting and the rapid technological evolution leaves this chapter open to further debates. With the development of piezoelectric technology, we are witnessing the tendency to develop military applications of this technology briefly presented in our paper, especially in the field of mechanical wavelengths from the ultrasonic regime, but also many other applications.
