TASER International, Inc., a leading provider of technology solutions and the market leader in electronic control devices (ECDs), today announced that it will begin selling the TASER(r) Shockwave(tm) area denial system to tactical law enforcement, corrections, homeland security, critical infrastructure and military customers on March 31, 2009.``The TASER Shockwave system provides a tactical intermediate-force area denial option for law enforcement, corrections, homeland security, and military personnel,'' said Rick Smith, CEO and founder of TASER International. ``The Shockwave system is a mobile, remote force-multiplier which uses our proven TASER Neuro Muscular Incapacitation technology to deny access to strategically important areas.''
The basic Shockwave unit consists of a six-shot TASER ECD that covers a 20-degree arc with 25-ft XP TASER(r) cartridges. The Shockwave is designed as a fully modular system, allowing the end user complete flexibility to deploy as needed to achieve the desired objective. The units can be stacked side-by-side, vertically, or can be 'daisy-chained' together in limitless combinations to allow an optimized response for every deployment.
