Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Testing
Abstract
The DoDs Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP) was established by the Secretary of Defense, who assigned centralized responsibility for DoD joint research and development of non-lethal weapons and technology to the Commandant of the Marine Corps as the Executive Agent. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD AT&L) provides direct oversight of the JNLWP. The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) reflect Joint Service research and development (R&D) investment decisions provided by the Joint NLW Integrated Product Team, a multi-service flag level corporate board that executes the JNLWP for the Commandant of the Marine Corps. Research conducted is based on the needs and capabilities of the Services, the Special Operations Command, and the Coast Guard, as identified in the DoDs Non-Lethal Weapons Joint Capabilities Document. This coordinated joint R&D development approach addresses mutual capability gaps and assures the best non-lethal technologies and equipment are provided to the operating forces while eliminating duplicative Service investment. This program funds Joint Service research, development, test and evaluation of non-lethal weapon (NLW) systems and technologies that by their design, provide a new non-lethal capability to minimize fatal or permanent injuries and undesired damage to property and the environment. Instead, these systems are designed to stun, incapacitate, or hinder movement of individuals, crowds, or equipment. The availability of NLWs allows commanders less than lethal options, particularly in urban warfare and military operations other than war, i.e., peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, as well as special operations. The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate was established by the Commandant of the Marine Corps to manage the day to day research and development activities of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program. The JNLWP funding is distributed amongst the USA, USAF, USN, USMC, SOCOM, and USCG in support of NLW research and development efforts. Each Service is responsible for their procurement and operating support costs.
