The DoD defines NLW as those that are explicitly designed and primarily employed to incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment. DoD created the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP) in 1996 to have centralized responsibility for the dev¿t. of NLW and coordinate requirements among the services. This report reviews the status of NLW programs by identifying the extent to which: (1) DoD and the JNLWP have developed and fielded NLW since the program's inception; (2) DoD has established and implemented policy, doctrine, and training for NLW; and (3) DoD has conducted testing and evaluation prior to fielding NLW.

In today's 21st century global security environment, non-lethal weapons are essential to Joint Force Commanders' capabilities. The current Department of Defense (DoD) non-lethal weapon capabilities attempt to provide flexible, tailored, and incremental options to avoid unintended consequences : non-combatant casualties and/or destruction to civilian equipment and infrastructure. However, given the adaptive global security environment of the 21st century, the ability of DoD to effectively and efficiently develop, resource, deploy, and employ non-lethal weapon capabilities is debatable because : (1) There is no satisfactory national guidance or strategy that clearly defines or unmistakably outlines the importance of non-lethal weapons; (2) DoD does not have the appropriate Joint organizational hierarchy with adequate resources and processes to develop and procure non-lethal weapon capabilities; (3) DoD's institutional kinetic culture inhibits the development and procurement of non-lethal weapon capabilities. This project will review the lack of current national policy, DoD structure and processes for non-lethal weapons, while recommending solutions in cultural change to advance adaptable capabilities in today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous global security environment of the 21st century. Finally, policy recommendations from this assessment will suggest enhancements to strike a suitable balance between lethal and non-lethal weapon capabilities for our soldiers, marines, airmen, and sailors.

The DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program continues to make progress in developing new non-lethal capabilities. During the past two years, the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program has conducted various demonstrations and assessments to assess the utility and effectiveness of non-lethal capabilities. A recent assessment successfully demonstrated that integrating non-lethal capabilities into the escalation-of-force continuum during perimeter security-type missions dramatically improved mission effectiveness and clearly demonstrated military utility.

By providing an intermediate option between "don't shoot" and "shoot," the Task Force observes, nonlethal weapons (NLW) have enormous potential in the new military roles of modern combat. Wider integration of existing types of NLW into the U.S. Army and Marine Corps could have helped to reduce the damage done by widespread looting and sabotage after the cessation of major conflict in Iraq. This Independent Task Force report on Nonlethal Weapons and Capabilities finds that incorporating these and additional forms of nonlethal capabilities into the equipment, training, and doctrine of the armed services could substantially improve U.S. military effectiveness.

Under its Less-Lethal Technologies Program, established in 1986, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)-the research, development, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Justice-provides funds to identify, develop, and evaluate new or improved devices and other technology that will minimize the risk of death and injury to law enforcement officers, suspects, prisoners, and the general public. Many Federal, State, and local civil law enforcement and corrections agencies use less-lethal weapons and equipment to help minimize the loss of life and property. These devices are used to quell prison riots, suppress mobs, and subdue hostile individuals. NIJ has prepared this equipment review to inform Federal, State, and local agencies about the Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program and the less-lethal weapons and equipment used by civil law enforcement agencies. This review does not address issues surrounding DoD's Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program or issues related to nonlethal weapons research and development programs. DoD has deployed less-lethal technology under its Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program since 1995, when civil agencies provided less-lethal weapons and equipment, technical assistance, and training to support the U.S. military's redeployment to Somalia. The technology enables U.S. forces to reduce unintended casualties and infrastructure damage during complex missions; discourage, delay, or prevent hostile action; limit escalation where lethal force is not the preferred option; protect U.S. forces; and temporarily disable equipment and facilities. Currently used DoD and U.S. Coast Guard nonlethal weapons and equipment are described in sections II and III. Section IV includes representative descriptions of less-lethal devices used by the Chicago Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., Philadelphia Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team, Seattle SWAT team, and U.S. Marshals Service. The product descriptions include photographs and information about manufacturers, costs, the services or law enforcement agencies that use each product, and each item's operational capability or use. Agencies that lack adequate research and development funding for less-lethal weapons and equipment often rely on private manufacturers to meet this need. The equipment selection process is discussed in appendix A. The appendix also includes descriptions of DoD's Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program; nonlethal weapons programs in the military branches (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force), the DoD Special Operations Command, and U.S. Coast Guard; and civil law enforcement less-lethal weapons. A glossary is presented in appendix B. Typically, DoD uses the term "nonlethal" and NIJ and civil law enforcement agencies use the term "less-lethal" when referring to the same technology.

Nonlethal technologies, once attributed primarily to civilian law enforcement, are currently being developed at unprecedented levels for use in military operations. Technology that uses sound to topple walls or coherent lasers to transmit electrical impulses through the air seem to be more science fiction than reality. However, the reality is that the pursuit of such exciting technologies has roused considerable interest from domestic as well as international human rights-based organizations, which oppose the use of such technologies. There are four principle arguments against continued nonlethal research: (1) the true lethality of "nonlethal" weapons, (2) secrecy and lack of government disclosure regarding the development and testing of nonlethal technologies, (3) their applicability and use in emerging conflicts, and (4) the illegal use of compromised technologies by rogue organizations. The United States is presently leading the way in developing concepts based on these arguments, which push the envelope of traditionally accepted means of force. Opponents of these programs claim that the United States should not employ such technology, either unilaterally or as a member of a coalition force. Further, opponents claim that restrictions and limitations on the use of nonlethal weapons mitigate the advantages such technology promises to offer. Nonlethal weapons increase military forces' ability to operate effectively in environments that may severely preclude or restrict the use of conventional force. It is these restrictions and limitations that have led to an increased focus on nonlethal solutions.

Political forces, in this era of the "CNN" effect, require the military, when involved in contingencies, to use restraint and to avoid excessive destruction and collateral damage. Within a force continuum that ranges from show of force to lethal force, nonlethal weapons can fill a gap between these two extremes. These weapons can offer forces the ability to respond in situations where rules of engagement may limit lethal weapons. With this in mind, is it practical to employ two different types of weapons in conflict: one nonlethal the other lethal? The next question, does it make sense to combine both capabilities into one weapon? This leads to the original question of integration. This paper will provide valid reasons why the two programs are separated. In some cases it makes sense to maintain separate stand-alone nonlethal and lethal weapons programs. This paper will also show that both joint and service visions support the concept of integration. However, there are challenges to overcome in order to realize this. By addressing these challenges and pursuing integration where appropriate, future forces will have more options on the battlefield.
