Joint Non-Lethal Weapons
Abstract
Develop non-lethal weapon systems in support of anti-terrorism/force protection missions. Example technologies include, but are not limited to, ocular interrupters, ship entanglement systems, and hailing devices. Current efforts are focused on the Long-Range Ocular Interrupter (LROI), which is intended to provide the U.S. Navy with the capability to deliver a bright light producing a dazzling or glare effect on a closing target to warn and/or suppress potential threats through increasing levels of visual degradation. The planned LROI will generate controlled, high-intensity output, providing warning and suppression effects. The extended range capability of LROI will effectively increase tactical decision-making time in support of escalation of force (EoF) tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) across a broad range of military operations (ROMO). Further, the LROI will enhance Joint Force operations in assessing the intent of personnel and controlling the potential threat as early as possible.
