Department of Defense (DoD) Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) Program
• Established in 1996 with the Commandant of the Marine Corps as the DoD NLW Executive Agent
• The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate serves as the 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 non-lethal weapons available to U.S. forces
• The military Services (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps) are responsible for NLW procurement and sustainment
General James F. Amos Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps

“Non-lethal effects are part of the Department of Defense portfolio of capabilities that enhance the Joint Force Commander’s ability to act in a timely manner to detect, deter, prevent, defeat, or, if necessary, mitigate effects of an attack.” General James F. Amos

JNLWP Budget
BA-3 ~ 11M/yr
BA-4 ~ 45M/yr
JNLWP
BA-2 ~ 6M/yr
BA-2: Applied Research (USN ONR/OSD Oversight) NL studies and analysis to augment and support current JNLWP areas of interest as well as explore new NLW
technology opportunities: Includes experimentation and model development. (TRL 2&3) BA-3: Advanced Technology Development (USN ONR/OSD Oversight) Next generation NLW concepts and advanced prototype development to support challenging mission needs:
Includes laboratory and field testing and model verification and validation. (TRL 4&5) BA-4: Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) (DC PP&O and ONR Oversight) Primary source of funds. Supports research and development of JNLWP efforts: includes efforts necessary to
evaluate integrated technologies, prototype systems and to expedite technology transition from laboratory to operational use. (TRL 6&7)

DoD NLW Definition
“Weapons that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment.”
Representative Mission Applications •Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief •Vehicle/Vessel Stopping •Clearing Structures/Facilities •Check-Point /Convoy Security •Crowd Control
•FOB/Facility Security •Maritime Stability Operatoins •Support to Civil Authorities •Detainee Operations •Counter Piracy
Key Attributes: Incapacitation and Reversibility
Distribution A: Approved for public release; distribution unlimited 6
Risk of Significant Injury (RSI) • RSI is a measure of reversibility • Health care capability (HCC) indexes are used as the basis to
determine RSI from NLW.

0 Limited First Responder Capability (LFRC): Self-aid, Buddy Aid, and Combat Lifesaver Skills
First Responder Capability: Requiring Resuscitation, Stabilization, and Emergency Care
Forward Resuscitative and Theater Hospitalization Capabilities: Advanced Emergency, Surgical, and Ancillary Services
RSI is measured as a weapon’s likelihood to cause injury resulting in HCC1 or HCC 2
• RSI is considered for both counter-personnel and counter-material technologies
• RSI is relevant to all NLW research and technology development efforts
