Less Than Lethal Weapons and Effects05/01/0210 - CDE Harwell
The MOD is seeking proposals for innovative ideas and solutions to allow the UK Armed forces to deliver non-lethal effects in current operational situations, thereby allowing a graduated response to suspicious or threatening persons. This could involve confronting suspects approaching on foot, or those who may be using a vehicle, or those operating within a crowded place. A flexible set of non-lethal options will allow UK forces to deal with these challenging situations, minimizing (ideally avoiding) any impact on bystanders or other collateral effects, and reduce the risk of inadvertently using lethal force. Solutions are required for use by the UK Armed Forces on current operations in a variety of situations from foot patrols through to deployment at fixed military installations. They should be able to deter people from approaching when instructed not to, to disrupt enemy ability to monitor friendly force activity, and to stop or physically detain people if needed.
