Non-Lethal Weapons

Abstract

This project develops non-lethal weapon (NLW) systems 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 NLW 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.
