	Area denial weapons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radiological or chemical weapons might also be considered as area denial weapons, although they are not considered applicable in this context at present.
		The massive use of defoliants such as Agent Orange can be considered as an interdiction measure because, at their highest concentration use, they leave areas empty of any form of vegetation cover.
		In medieval warfare, sharp and sturdy stakes were buried at the bottom of long lines of ditches, pointed end up, in order to prevent cavalry charges in a given area.

	Denied area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When a reference is made to a friendly force denying an area to the enemy, such as a reference to friendly forces employing area denial weapons, the intent is to create an area in which the enemy cannot operate without extreme risk.
		A dirty bomb is a potential option for an area denial weapon which might be more accessible to small paramilitary or terrorist groups.
		This is why a denied area may well exist behind enemy lines when, if it were secured by friendly forces on the ground, it might be considered a forward position.

	American Anthrax - Using a Biowar Agent as an Area Denial Weapon
		Area denial has been around since man first walked the earth, and in the beginning amounted to little more than excluding others from a private cave or dwelling, but as societies developed, this soon expanded to wholesale exclusion of “other” societies from villages, towns and so on.
		So for the present at least, no area denial here, and folk at these agencies can go about their daily business unhindered by anxiety or pure panic in the mailroom and office.
		The current low-volume use of Anthrax is area denial at its most subtle.

	Area denial weapons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Area denial weapons are used to prevent an adversary from occupying or traversing an area of land.
		Other area denial methods include the fallout from nuclear weapons as well as chemical agents that are by design non-degrading, such as the nerve agent VX.
		Today, area denial systems have moved beyond land mines and cover destruction.

	RTS Interface: Strategic Markers - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		Area Denial Marker: This marks an area of the map that you don't want the enemy to enter, but don't necessarily wish to occupy yourself.
		Artillery is particularly effective for area denial, and can defend areas well out of their line of sight by continually bombarding them.
		In the case of areas you'll want to be able to define the area, either by some sort of polygonal area or maybe (in a tile-based system) like you would define the area you want to dig in Dungeon Keeper.

	Key Themes - Denied Areas
		Regional powers and future peer competitors can acquire other powerful asymmetric means to build a creditable anti-access or area denial capability and delay or reduce naval access to the littorals.
		Virtually invulnerable to cruise and tactical ballistic missiles as well as weapons of mass destruction and information warfare, submarines provide U.S. operational commanders the critical tools they need to prepare and shape the battlespace to ensure the defeat of the advanced area denial threat.
		These strikes will reduce or destroy an enemy's area denial capability and allow entry of less stealthy forces.

	Metal Storm Limited :: Metal Storm Limited: Successful Firing of Area Denial Weapon System (ADWS) by Defense Consortium
		The ADWS aims to demonstrate area denial technology that can overcome the indiscriminate nature of land mines by addressing the requirement for a human- in-the-loop to initiate the weapon system.
		David Smith, said the demonstration of the ADWS highlighted the viability of the company's stacked round, multiple propellant load technology in the military area denial role.
		"In addition to land mine replacement and area denial applications, the ADWS concept may have potential for other uses, such as airfield defense and defense of ships against close-in terrorist attack," Mr.

	- Dumb Bombs
		Submunitions are used to destroy an enemy in place (impact) or to slow or prevent enemy movement away from or through an area (area denial).
		The hazard area depends on the submunition, mission profile, target type, and number of sorties.
		The numbers of submunitions that fail to properly function and the submunitions’ dispersion determine the actual density of the hazard area.

	Navy SBIR Proposal Details - Proposal # N032-0798
		During the Phase II, Nanohmics will take the most promising materials system and construct a prototype device optimized for Navy area denial requirements.
		Nanohmics will also investigate the use of broad area emission from optically doped aluminum nitride as a down converter to optimize the emission wavelength for optimal eye sensitivity.
		All strobe systems could then be operated from a single control unit for wide area coverage.

	Nat' Academies Press, Alternative Technologies to Replace Antipersonnel Landmines (2001)
		The Hornet/Wide Area Munition (WAM), with its large lethal radius and antihandling device, could replace most of the tactical functions currently provided by mixed systems but has no remote delivery capability.
		With nonlethal variants, U.S. forces could mount a graduated response in situations where the threat is unclear, such as peace operations, or if large noncombatant populations were in the immediate tactical area.
		This would necessarily reduce the number of AT mines per projectile, so more projectiles might be required to cover a given area.

	Defense Transformation
		This implies an ability to effect a distributed insertion of Army forces into a threatened area, as well as an ability to conduct highly distributed, or dispersed operations, employing C4ISR systems to scout the physical gaps between Army formations and extended-range fires to cover them.
		Over the last decade the Army has had to deploy forces rapidly to areas where the Service had little in the way of forward-deployed forces, such as in Africa, the Balkans and the Persian Gulf.
		States in the region have, for the most part, either denied the US military access to bases, or placed severe restrictions on their use, especially in the case of strike operations.

	Joint Concept for Nonlethal Weapons
		The present population is a combination of longtime residents, displaced refugees from rural areas, relief workers, and thousands of armed gunmen whose factions frequently fight pitched battles in the streets as they struggle for control of various neighborhoods.
		Weapons and ammunition must be available for live-fire training and must be compatible with the safety requirements and limitations in effect on most live-fire ranges.
		Similarly, the use and maintenance of non-lethal weapons should not require field commanders to significantly alter the organization of their units or to dedicate a significant percentage of the unit's assets to those purposes.
