News Stories Improved Flash-Bang Grenade Team Wins Air Force Science Award
As part of the Department of Defense effort to outfit warfighters with non-lethal escalation-of-force capabilities, a U.S. Air Force team has been studying the human effects of the Improved Flash-Bang Grenade. In recognition of its work, the Air Force team recently won the Air Force 2009 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Award for Outstanding Scientist Team. The Air Force chose the IFBG team for its efforts that led to the development of a safer and more effective flash-bang grenade.

 Chris Csanadi Deckard Wins Award for Non-Lethal Work
A senior scientist and program manager who supports the Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program recently won an award for her work, which includes non-lethal efforts. Chris Csanadi Deckard recently received the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific 2009 Technical Director's Award for her work in laser intelligence and laser sensor technology. Deckard's efforts have included a variety of projects for multiple programs, including projects related to non-lethal weapons for the JNLWP.

 Researchers Test Non-Lethal Laser Windshield Obscuration Technology
The Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program is working to meet warfighter needs by developing technologies to fill identified capability gaps. One of the biggest challenges U.S. operating forces face today is dealing with suspicious vehicles at checkpoints and entry control points and determining drivers' intent. As a result, non-lethally stopping or disabling vehicles are top-priority capability gaps that call for new non-lethal escalation-of-force options to help diffuse these dangerous situations and minimize casualties.

 Light and Sound Experiments Show Non-Lethal Applications
The Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program recently sponsored combined non-lethal light and sound human effects and military utility experiments. The Directed Energy Warfare Office at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, Va., performed the research using the Distributed Sound and Light Array. The goal of the experiments was to determine the effects of combined non-lethal light and sound stimuli on vehicle and vessel drivers. The results will aid in determining the effects' potential military utility for both checkpoint operations and naval vessel exclusion areas, according to Randy Woods, the technical lead for the DSLA experiments at Dahlgren.

Non-Lethal Thermal Laser Prototype Evaluated
As the U.S. military works to develop additional escalation-of-force options for warfighters, many directed-energy technologies are emerging as promising solutions to address non-lethal counter-personnel capability gaps. One such effort the Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program is funding is the research and development of a man-portable non-lethal thermal laser weapon system.
