Less-lethal munitions are designed to provide positive alternatives to the use of lethal force or deter unwanted behavior. They are also useful in crowd control and/or targeting specific, aggressive, or uncooperative individuals. However, in many cases, existing less-lethal ammunitions have proven to be impractical, inaccurate, and/or ineffective and require a great deal of improvements and/or specialized training in order to provide a positive operational outcome at the crisis site.

Kinetic Impact System Information |
| A study of existing less-lethal ammunitions was carried out to identify material and design deficiencies. In an effort to analyze the causes of their deficiencies and failures, it was necessary to investigate the core problem associated with the type of materials being used for this application. Looking at these products, it became evident that their chemical makeup was one of the factors that lends to their poor performance and frequent ineffectiveness. To that end a new less-lethal projectile was developed by way of scientific principles and rubber technology. This novel, lead free projectile has precise shot placement capabilities, unmatched consistency, and will not freeze in cold climactic conditions (i.e. become very rigid and could be lethal) therefore, can also be used by military personnel in a wide range of operational temperatures and/or environments worldwide.
