Logistically my guess is this tech has been used for some time - and we only know about it as deterrence is ramping up enough to need to disclose the use.
I mean that whole moves and countermoves bit like William Colby disclosing the Heart Attack Gun at the Church Hearings
Fun fact: the whole "carrots make your eyesight better" was actually a bit of British WWII propaganda, as the use of American RADAR was top secret at the time, so when the reporters came a-callin', the brits had to havea cover story for how they were able to spot German bombers so well in the dark...
