Seven NIJ awards were made on a so-called Less-Lethal Technologies solicitation in 2004, awarding over $2.1 million for the development and field testing of counter-personnel weaponry (that is, anti-people, anti-American weaponry): using lasers, radio frequency electromagnetic systems, electricity, and high frequencies to burn, bruise, shock, overheat, and “dazzle” humans.
Other Less Lethal technology awards exist, and further research clearly needs to be done to see how far back these awards go, and how and when these Less Lethal and Non Lethal and Less than Lethal technologies intended for police use were first tested in the field.
