The Department of Defense (DOD) defines NLW as those that are explicitly designed and primarily employed to incapacitate personnel or materiel, while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment. DOD created the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program in 1996 to have centralized responsibility for the development of NLW and coordinate requirements among the services. GAO was asked to review the status of NLW programs within DOD and the military services by identifying the extent to which (1) DOD and the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program have developed and fielded NLW since the program's inception; (2) DOD has established and implemented policy, doctrine, and training for NLW; and (3) DOD has conducted testing and evaluation prior to fielding NLW. GAO reviewed and analyzed DOD and service plans, guidance, and doctrine and interviewed officials associated with NLW development. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 500 $a "GAO-09-344." 610 10 $a United States. $b Dept. of Defense $x Weapons systems. 610 10 $a United States. $b Dept. of Defense $x Management. 650 0 $a Nonlethal weapons $x Government policy $z United States. 856 40 $u http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS114343 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824030915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8514C536FE5F11E2B6A414D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
