A new radio-beam device has been unveiled that can disable car and boat engines from up to 50 meters away in under three seconds and can be operated from a mobile platform or at a fixed location.

Devices capable of remotely disabling electronics are nothing new, given that devices capable of remotely disabling phones, intercepting communications and tracking targets have been around for years.

However, this is one of the first publicly unveiled devices capable of remotely disabling a wide range of vehicle engines.

The device, dubbed RF Safe-Stop, produced by e2v, weighs around 771 pounds and is reportedly aimed at stopping vehicles suspected of being used as car bombs, according to The Engineer.

RF Safe-Stop was first shown at DSEI 2013, dubbed “the world leading defense and security event” in September.

The device typically causes engines to shut down in less than one second, without destroying the target engine.
