Department of <strong>Defense</strong> (DoD)<br />

<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Lethal</strong> <strong>Weapons</strong> (NLW) <strong>Program</strong><br />

• Established in 1996 with the Commandant of<br />

the Marine Corps as the DoD NLW Executive Agent<br />

• The <strong>Joint</strong> <strong>Non</strong>-<strong>Lethal</strong> <strong>Weapons</strong> Directorate serves as<br />

the Executive Agent’s day to day management office,<br />

coordinating activities with the Services, Coast Guard,<br />

and other government agencies<br />

General James F. Amos<br />

Commandant of the U.S.<br />

Marine Corps<br />

• The Executive Agent has a research budget dedicated to developing and<br />

advancing the suite of non-lethal weapons available to U.S. forces<br />

• The military Services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps) are responsible<br />

for NLW procurement and sustainment<br />

“<strong>Non</strong>-lethal effects are part of the Department of <strong>Defense</strong> portfolio of capabilities that<br />

enhance the <strong>Joint</strong> Force Commander’s ability to act in a timely manner to detect, deter,<br />

prevent, defeat, or, if necessary, mitigate effects of an attack.” General James F. Amos<br />

DoD NLW Definition<br />

“<strong>Weapons</strong> that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to<br />

incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities,<br />

permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and<br />

the environment.”<br />

Key Attributes: Incapacitation and Reversibility<br />

Representative Mission Applications<br />

•Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief<br />

•Vehicle/Vessel Stopping<br />

•Clearing Structures/Facilities<br />

•Check-Point /Convoy Security<br />

•Crowd Control<br />

•FOB/Facility Security<br />

•Maritime Stability Operatoins<br />

•Support to Civil Authorities<br />

•Detainee Operations<br />

•Counter Piracy<br />

Risk of Significant Injury (RSI)<br />

• RSI is a measure of reversibility<br />

• Health care capability (HCC) indexes are used as the basis to<br />

determine RSI from NLW.<br />

• RSI is considered for both counterpersonnel<br />

and counter-material<br />

technologies<br />

RSI is measured as a<br />

weapon’s likelihood to<br />

cause injury resulting in<br />

HCC1 or HCC 2<br />

• RSI is relevant to all<br />

NLW research and<br />

technology development<br />

efforts<br />
