Description
Mission — JT Non-Lethal Wpns Tech Dev
The DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program was established by the FY96 National Defense Authorization Act. The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) designated the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) as the DoD NLW Executive Agent (EA). The EA exercises centralized responsibility for joint research and development of non-lethal weapons and technology through the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program (JNLWP). The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) serves as the OSD Principal Staff Assistant and oversees, in consultation with the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the DoD NLW Executive Agent. The efforts described in this Program Element (PE) reflect science and technology (S&T) investment decisions by the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) Integrated Product Team, a multi-service flag level corporate board that provides executive oversight and management for the JNLWP for the CMC. This direction is based on the requirements and capabilities sought by the Services and the Coast Guard, as identified in the DoD's Non-Lethal Weapons Joint Capabilities Based Assessment Document. This coordinated joint S&T development approach addresses mutual capability gaps and assures the most relevant non-lethal technologies, capabilities and equipment are provided to the operating forces while eliminating duplicative service S&T investment. These advanced technology development initiatives feed non-lethal capabilities which directly support the National Defense Strategy (NDS) objective of strategic competition by providing options to the Joint Force in pursuit of national objectives in legal or policy constrained scenarios, as well as complementing the use of lethal effects in complex combat scenarios, for example, in urban environments with large civilian populations. Ongoing NLW studies, analyses and exercise efforts with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Allies also support NDS objectives to strengthen alliances and partnerships. Resulting capabilities will facilitate a fully integrated non-lethal competency as a complement to lethal firepower, providing force application options for below lethal threshold engagements. This program funds Advanced Technology Development of next-generation non-lethal capabilities and include performing analysis, technology development efforts, and modeling and simulation necessary to ensure optimum weaponization and use of these capabilities. Investment areas include research and development of next-generation NLW Intermediate Force Capabilities (IFCs) such as: non-lethal directed energy weapons (lasers, millimeter wave and high-power microwave) for counter-personnel and counter-materiel missions; non-lethal counter-personnel technologies (acoustic, optical, and human electro-muscular disruption technologies), and advanced non-lethal materials (including materials for vehicle/vessel stopping and counter-facility applications). Next generation non-lethal systems focus on long-range localized non-lethal effects to identified threat individuals (or groups of individuals) and/or their threat weapons systems operating in complicated environments such as urban areas, crowds, buildings, vehicles, vessels, and in close proximity to high-value civilian facilities. This Program Element (PE) funds Advanced Technology Development (ATD) that includes development of subsystems and components and efforts to integrate subsystems and components into system prototypes for field experiments and/or tests in a simulated environment. Efforts in this PE generally have Technology Readiness Levels TRL) of 4 (component and/or breadboard validation in laboratory environment.), 5 (component and/or breadboard validation in relevant environment.), or 6 (system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). Due to the number of efforts in this PE, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
Mission — Joint Non Lethal Weapons
This project funds the research and development of next-generation Non-Lethal Weapons and includes performing analysis, technical development efforts, and modeling and simulation necessary to ensure optimum weaponization and use of these NLW. Investment areas include research and development of next-generation Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) such as: non-lethal directed energy weapons (lasers, millimeter wave and high-power microwave) for counter-personnel and counter-materiel missions; non-lethal counter-personnel technologies (acoustic, optical, and human electro-muscular disruption technologies), and advanced non-lethal materials (including materials for vehicle/vessel stopping and counter-facility applications). Next-generation Non-Lethal Weapons systems focus on long-range localized Non-Lethal effects to identified threat individuals (or groups of individuals) and/or their threat weapons systems operating in complicated environments such as urban areas, crowds, buildings, vehicles, vessels, and also in close proximity to high-value civilian facilities.

Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Technology Development. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
