XM1063 - Introduction

DoD Definition of Non-Lethal Weapons− Incapacitate while minimizing fatalities and

permanent injuryNon-Lethal Weapons Also Minimize Damage to Property and EnvironmentXM1063 Will Provide Non-Lethal Capabilities− Separate combatants from non-combatants− Suppress, disperse or engage personnel− Deny personnel access to, use of, or movement

through a particular area, point or facility

XM1063 - Background

US Army ARDEC Leads the IPT That is Developing the XM1063− GD-OTS focuses on payload submunition

development and production of test hardware− Many contractors and other government agencies

have contributed to the IPT’s successXM1063 Intended to Provide a New Capability− Non Line of Sight Non-lethal

XM1063 – Operational Sequence

• Projectile Fired• Non-Lethal Payload Release Mechanism Activated

• Non-Lethal Payload Ejected

• Non-Lethal Submunitions Dispersed• KE of Submunitions Minimized

• Non-Lethal Personnel Suppression Effect Delivered Over Target Area• Base Burner & Projectile Body Delivered to Separate Location

XM1063 Demonstrated Tests

Live Fire Testing at YPG− Standard 39 Caliber with

MACS Zone 4− Prototype FCS NLOS-C

with MACS Zone 3− Stadia Pattern >200 m

Additional Testing for Design Refinement− Helicopter Drop, Wind

Tunnel, Static Payload Dissemination, etc.
