The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $29.9M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $23.9M as actual total obligation authority — $5.94M below the request. 23.93 − 29.87 = -5.94 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Testing
The DoD Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) Program was established by the FY 1996 National Defense Authorization Act. The Office of the Secretary of Defense designated the Commandant of the Marine Corps 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 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 Joint Service research and development (R&D) investment decisions by the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Integrated Product Team, a multi-service flag level corporate board that provides executive oversight and management of the JNLWP for the EA. Research conducted is based on the requirements and capabilities sought by the Services and the Coast Guard, as identified in the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved Joint Non-Lethal Effects Initial Capabilities Documents. This coordinated Joint Research and Development approach addresses mutual capability gaps and assures the most relevant non-lethal technologies, capabilities, and equipment are provided to the Joint Force while eliminating duplicative Service investment. Advanced Component Development and Prototypes non-lethal weapons initiatives provide non-lethal capabilities in direct support of the National Defense Strategy 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 NATO and Allies also support NDS objectives to strengthen alliances and partnerships. Resulting capabilities facilitate a fully integrated non-lethal competency as a complement to lethal firepower, providing force application options for below lethal threshold engagements. This PE funds Joint Service research, development, test, and evaluation of non-lethal weapons, devices, munitions, and technologies which provide a non-lethal capability to minimize significant injuries as well as undesired damage to property and the environment. Counter-personnel (CP) and counter-materiel (CM) capability investment areas include directed energy (lasers, millimeter wave, and high power microwave), multi-sensory suppression/incapacitation initiatives (acoustics, optical, electro-muscular incapacitation), and other emergent technologies transitioning from coordinated JNLWP Science and Technology PE initiatives. Investments also focus on Joint and allied experimentation, exercise, demonstration, and assessment of advanced component and prototype initiatives in order to assist transition of suitable and effective capabilities to both joint and allied operational applications. The Joint Intermediate Force Capabilities Office (JIFCO) (formally Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate) is designated as a Research and Development organization and was established by the EA to manage the day to day research and development activities of the DoD's JNLWP. Each Service is responsible for their procurement and operating support costs.

Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
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 Testing. 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? →
