CFDRC has developed a Non-Lethal Weapons (NLW) Surrogate for the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). The surrogate has been designed with modularity as a priority as many of these modalities require unique sensor approaches that would cause unneeded complications in an all-in-one solution. CFDRC is marketing and selling the NLW surrogate based on customer need, meaning the entire surrogate can be purchased with all sensing modalities and instrumentation, or just one. CFDRC has worked closely with Dewetron and offers Data Acquisition Systems that are currently being used with the NLW surrogate. These systems can be sold with use-case set-ups in the Dewetron systems to allow for a true turn-key solution.
The surrogate is capable of measuring a wide range of non-lethal weapon modalities including:
- Blast (Pressure)
- Sound (dB)
- Blunt Impact (Force/Acceleration)
- Broadband/Laser Light Exposure (mW/cm2, Intensity)
- Electromuscular Stimulation (Volts/Resistance/Charge Pulse Characterization)
The NLW human surrogate is available for purchase and support.
