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
