Laser Dazzler

Abstract

LE Systems has developed a new tool, for today's law enforcement, corrections and military communities. LE Systems has completed and delivered, ten prototype non-lethal laser flashlights. The Laser Dazzler is designed to allow the officer to reach out to their suspect. The design incorporates features which allows the officer to disorient, confuse, and distract the suspect, without causing bodily harm. Eyesafe at the aperture, the Laser Dazzler will have a temporary effect on the officers adversary. It presents to the target, an optical wall, which will cause most suspects to turn away from the light. Another feature of the flashlight is the strobe effect, built into the programmable power supply, which modulates the laser, to add to the distraction.
