Detailed Electromagnetic Modeling - Evaluation Phase

Abstract

Electromuscular incapacitation is a promising intermediate force capability, which exists between presence and lethal effects, to control of threatening individuals in dynamic situations where other measures have failed to render the situation safe. The primary goals of this effort to achieve short-term incapacitation without long-term injury are being pursued through experimental and computational studies. This task employs computational modeling, and implements a large-scale model of electrical conduction in the body together with the preexisting neurobiology work of J. Patrick Reilly and others to assess the excitation of the nervous system due to human electro-muscular incapacitation (HEMI) devices.
