The story says 95 Gigahertz.....

That is in the microwave section of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Intro to EM Spectrum

Also from your link:

Taffola is quick also to point out the "Active Denial System" beam, while powerful and long-range, some 1000 meters (0.6 miles), is the military's "safest non-lethal capability" that has been developed over 15 years but never used in the field.

Bolding mine.

Yes, it apparently is really unbearable to tolerate this beam. I read an account of someone that withstood it for a few seconds. They said it was like being on fire.

the ones i got hit by must have been sonic in nature than cuz it felt like they were being what i would think a week microwave would feel like.

Easily thwarted by $20 sheet of aluminum. Aluminum and stainless steel reflect microwaves. If you're on a budget, i'm sure a few layers of foil might even work. Seems like an expensive waste
