Non-Lethal Weapons

Abstract

This project develops non-lethal weapon (NLW) capabilities that minimize fatal or permanent injuries and undesired damage to property and the environment. These capabilities 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. The increase of $1.969M is to support new initiatives in Counter-Materiel Advanced Component Development and Prototypes and Joint and Allied Exercise, Experimentation, Demonstration and Assessment.
