A new equipment for police non lethal weapons - LED power fail

Abstract: LED is a new type of disability for police on the United States and other countries, non lethal weapons, because of its no injury and very effective and will spread to the human eye, based on the actual level of LED is described, for the reference of related police in use.

First, the origin of LED disable

LED device (Incapacitator) is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to allow federal agents with, using non lethal weapons to subdue criminals or unruly passengers, intense flashes of this weapon will make at a temporary blindness, is the latest achievement of the development of non lethal weapons.

The product is composed of optical system, California intelligence development, scheduled before 2010 to police officers, the national boundary and reserves, the air police and customs officers.

LED is a loss instead of laser light, does not cause permanent blindness, and flash is similar, but the bad guys turned away or instinctively close your eyes, make the law enough time to subdue suspects, handcuffed, without endangering pedestrians, passengers hostage or life (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 current research and development of American LED disability for researchers in China as early as March 2007 successfully developed a LED disability, by testing the effect, structure size and the United States is completely different, China has applied for a patent, and exported to the United States in March 2008 the first batch of test samples (see figure 2).

Figure 2 exports to the United States the first sample

Two, the structure of LED energy loss

With China's production of LED disability for SA (Suddenfire) lamp as an example (see Figure 3), is a portable round cake shape, a large emitting area, two kinds of flash frequency selection, instant brightness up to 1500 lumens, long-term built-in lithium rechargeable battery, a single charge can be irradiated up to 20 hours, brightness falls can be charged at any time, simple and convenient, the size and weight of our LED is much lower than the current American sample, the price is more competitive.

Figure 4 LED can use the skills to carry and use LED for three, is lost

The analysis shows that, according to the latest achievement of the LED is the loss of non lethal weapons, there are also practical training techniques, different methods of operation in different places for different kinds of the object of law enforcement is not the same, with the police as an example, in the night crept into the dark house, in addition to the use of night vision instrument outside, there is no place where the conditions for the use of LED can be disabled, when the suspect suddenly opened the largest open pupil, LED disability has the best effect, also can distinguish between the suspect and the hostages, the left hand extension of single hand operation can prevent other weapon injury, the right hand can use other weapons disposal.

The air police because it is located in the sealed space, not only the use of firearms, other inflammable or explosive equipment should not be used, LED is not a problem, will become the ideal air police equipment of non lethal weapons.

With LED disabled equipment in succession in the police, riot police, armed police, border police, customs patrol police, after continuous exploration actual practice, develop many LED disability for combat use, for police officers to communicate.

Four, the technical change of LED energy loss device

As the negative effect of relatively new non lethal weapons, with law enforcement officers from the strange to the familiar, the principle of LED disability is began to infiltrate into other field of equipment, such as a bullet proof shield for riot, to disperse the crowd or shooting lane, because the LED loss is small volume and light weight, can be embedded in many simple equipment, the this new product will be available.

Five, concluding remarks

LED is expected to become a new kind of negative effects of non lethal weapons, China has mastered the technology and industrialization of the initiative in the field of national authorities as soon as possible to establish and promote the results of proposed standards related to the standardization of management procedures, the police have scientific and technological achievements of China's independent intellectual property rights to support and guide, promote China's rapid development of non lethal weapons police equipment.
