Claim: Active Denial System was manufactured by Raytheon and was used in a number of wars including the War in Afghanistan.
Evidence: On June 21, 2010, Lt. Col. John Dorrian, a spokesman for the NATO forces commander General Stanley McChrystal, confirmed in an e-mail to Wired reporter Noah Shachtman that the ADS was deployed in Afghanistan. The spokesman added however that the system had not yet been used operationally.
