MDB Enterprises Believes Advances in Non-Lethal Weapons Is About To Take A Big Leap Forward

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, November 18, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Some twenty years have passed since the first deployment of NLW (Non-Lethal Weapons), and during this time it has become an important tool for most of the military and law enforcement personnel around the world.

With many significant success stories and results, there are still the odd concerns regarding the effectiveness vs. the risks. Technological developments have been slower than expected but forecasts for the future expect technological advances to speed up and quell those concerns, with the next achievements in NLW likely to be game changers according to MDB Enterprises.

The 2015 symposium will build on previous symposia and follow similar holistic topics. The overarching theme will be to examine how fielded non-lethal technologies have performed in real operational environments, such as the ongoing civil unrest in the West and military involvement in parts of Africa and Asia.

This will also provide a valuable opportunity to hear from, and discuss the lessons learnt across the many disciplines of this subject from a range of subject matter experts and operational practitioners.  This will identify where gaps in capability still exist to steer future research. In addition MDB Enterprises, one of the leading innovators on NLW will give a presentation examining how progress in emerging technology areas seeks to fill known capability gaps such as effects at range. The symposium also intends to examine the emergence and use of non-lethal weapons in a criminal content, both from offensive and defensive viewpoints.

The Symposium includes topics on current and advanced technologies, operational and tactical aspects, required capabilities, legal and public acceptance and the effects on targets.
