It's not going to be long before the military starts mounting those brain-wave EMI generators on planes.

If you haven't heard, there are "beam weapon" prototypes which take some kind of sampling of a person's current alpha and beta brain waves, and disrupts them using negative interference. Don't know if they can really control whether or not someone dies or is rendered unconscious, but I would imagine that some kind of average templates could be found that affect 50-75% of the population. That is probably what is being worked on right now -- predefined firing patterns.

Slap that stuff on a UAV with a directed beam and you've got an instant force-multiplier. Snipers in the miniret? Flip the kill switch.
