Non-Lethal Weapons

Abstract

This project develops non-lethal weapon (NLW) systems that provide a new non-lethal capability to minimize fatal or permanent injuries and undesired damage to property and the environment. 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.
