Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program Mission Statement

The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP) was established to provide warfighters a family of Non-Lethal Weapon (NLW) systems with a range of optional non-lethal capabilities across the full spectrum of threats and crisis. The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) is responsible for the centralized coordination and integration of NLW technologies and systems that will support the Services and Combatant Commanders. NLWs are defined as "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."
