Non-Lethal Weapons for Today's Operations

Abstract

The Department of Defense Non-Lethal Weapons Program stimulates and coordinates non-lethal weapons requirements of the U.S. Armed Services and allocates resources to help meet these requirements. The Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps serves as the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Executive Agent. Located at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate serves as the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program Executive Agent's day-to-day management office. The U.S. Armed Services work with the combatant commanders and the executive agent through a joint process to identify requirements and coordinate the planning, programming and funding of non-lethal weapons research, development and acquisition.
