Modeling for Less-Lethal Chemical Devices.

Abstract

Models have been developed for evaluating chemical devices in the one-on-one and barricade-and-hostage types of law-enforcement scenarios. Thus, with the model developed under an earlier task for evaluatiing chemical devices in the crowd control-type scenario, models have now been developed for evaluating chemical devices in the three general types of law enforcement type-situations deemed amenable to the effective employment of chemical incapacitating agents. The quantitative measures obtained for selected devices, tested under another task, have been used in these models to obtain estimates of sample performance levels of these devices when employed in applicable scenarios.
