Non-lethal weapon technology An Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology Produced by the Committee for an Assessment of Non-Lethal Weapons Science and Technology, National Research Council. This is a full-text publication that aims to assess current and potential areas for science and technology development in non-lethal weapons to support naval expeditionary forces. European Working Group Non-Lethal Weapons Several countries are currently developing and implementing new non-lethal capabilities. They do so in the belief that this will enable many emerging and non-traditional threats to be countered with a less than lethal response. Non-lethal weapons are of interest to the military and to law enforcement agencies as, in many cases, the character of the scenarios is similar. Non-lethal weapons can be seen as having dual-use application and they provide armed forces and law enforcement agencies with additional options to respond in a tailored and graduated manner. The resource includes full conference proceedings and two discussion forums. Non-Lethal Weapons and Future Peace Enforcement Operations This site provides access to a Research and Technology Organisation Technical Report of the Studies, Analysis and Simulation Panel (SAS), RTO-TR-SAS-040, dated November 2004. The document presents the output of the NATO Long Term Scientific Study (LTSS) Mulitnational Exercise (MNE) on the use of non lethal weapons in peacekeeping operations. It covers three main themes; operational context, technologies that can be envisaged, and legal and political implications. Bibliographic and abstract details are available in HTML format. Individual chapters or the full text of the document can be accessed online in PDF format. The document is contained in the RTO's Full Text Publication Library. |
