Research abstract

Building on development of a Multi-Sensory Grenade (MSG) for USMC MarCorSysCom's Clear Facilities program, the proposed technology will incorporate a sound source at the maximum OSHA safe level of 140dB, a light source at ANSI levels and stingballs. (Otheradditional sensory elements can be added such as malodors, lachrymators, marker dyes, taggants, etc. based on Warfare Conventions and specific applications). The multisensory overwhelm of the technology will deny, delay, disrupt and repel adversaries. Theconcept is extremely flexible and the components can be resized to fit into a variety of existing delivery systems including 40 mm, 12 ga. (current MG design), 81 mm, non-lethal mines, 155 mm, etc. The larger the payload volume, the more distractionaryelements delivered on target. The proposed technology has numerous civilian law enforcement and military applications. The following markets have been identified: US Military, Civilian Law Enforcement, Dept. of Corrections, Drug Enforcement Agency,Homeland Security, International Military, International Law Enforcement, Multinational Corporations, FBI, Secret Service and foreign and domestic protection.
