In missions to stabilize conflicts around the world, the military forces increasingly find themselves operating amongst the people. The emerging need in military interventions to prevent casualties translated into a range of value driven military technological developments, such as non-lethal weapons (NLW). NLWs can be characterized by a certain technological and operational design 'window' of permissible physiological effect, defined at each end by values: one value is a controlled physiological impact to enforce compliance by targeted individuals, the other value is the prevention of inflicting serious harm of fatality. This paper points out that societal and political implications of these values in the military domain are governed by a different scheme than is the case in the civil domain. The practical cases concerning non-lethal weapons examined illustrate how values incorporated in military and police concepts are exposed to counteraction and annihilation when deployed in real world operational missions.

Abstract: High casualty figures of innocent citizens in a conflict, proven internal and projected in political thinking and boundaries on neighbouring nations are often higher than insurgent threats, yet when war is inevitable, and armament needed to maintain a political identity, there is a need for a new paradigm, that of Peace Weapons(™). Peace Weapons(™) make conflicts reversible and non-lethal in armament and directed weaponry, in this paper we illustrate the armament with a design of a light pollution map based automated drone bomber, with the replacement of conventional payload with sleep weapons, EMI weapons of Alpha/Beta and Delta/Gamma, deep sleep inducers. We prove that this EMI weapon is reversible in civilian casualty and can be selectively reversed after the conflict is resolved.
