DDS Research have formed a new team looking into non-lethal "alternative weapons". This will include the ongoing work into cyber weapons but will also look into manipulating planetary weather systems and mass psychological warfare.
"These non-lethal weapons will be part of our portfolio of weapons and can add to the combat effectiveness of our more traditional weapons." Dr Forbidden said, "For example if we can cause extreme rain fall over an enemy we can bog down their forces before we attack. We will also be looking into mass media psychological manipulation to weaken the resolve of the enemy."
