Department of Defense (DoD) Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) Program

• Established in 1996 with the Commandant of the Marine Corps as the designated DoD NLW Executive Agent

• The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate serves asthe Executive Agent’s day to day management office, coordinating activities with the Services, Coast Guard,and other government agencies

• The Executive Agent has a research budget dedicated to developing and advancing the suite of NLW available to U.S. forces

• The military Services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps) are responsible for NLW procurement and sustainment

DoD NLW Definition

“Weapons, devices and munitions that are explicitly designed and primarily employed to incapacitate targeted personnel or materiel immediately, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property in the target area or environment. Non-lethal weapons are intended to have reversible effects on personnel and materiel.”
