Los Angeles Times: The Pentagon's Secret Scream:

"Last week, as I watched televised images of angry Iraqis pelting U.S. soldiers with rocks when they arrived to assist those injured in suicide bombings at mosques, I couldn't help but wonder whether the presence of a sound weapon to disperse those crowds would just escalate hostilities."

Elwood G. Norris is the chairman and founder of American Technology, the company behind the new sonic megaphone being used by US forces in Iraq.

American Technology Corporation - Management Team: In 1956 he joined the U.S. Air Force and was trained as a Nuclear Weapons Specialist, specializing in electronic fusing systems. He took electronics courses at the University of New Mexico. After his honorable discharge in 1959, Mr. Norris began employment at the University of Washington.

Is he also the author of the Mormon text "Be not deceived : a scriptural refutation of the Adam-God theory"?

If so, it would be just another intersection of Washington right-wing religious fundamentalists and the war on Islam... err, I mean Iraq... err, or is it Terrorists?
