Abstract

Electroshock weapons (ESWs) have become a ubiquitous component of weapons used in the arsenal of domestic law enforcement (LE) agencies and the military around the world. It is a major contributor to the escalation of force policies and procedures of many LE agencies. ESWs function by providing a high-voltage low-current electrical shock that, when discharged into a live (typically human) target, can temporarily incapacitate that target. Consequently, it is important to accurately measure the output of the ESW to ensure it is operating properly. Moreover, accurate and standardized measurements of ESW output support collaborative transfer of information, thus facilitating the advancement of the knowledge of physiological ESW effects, promoting the advancement of the technology for safe and effective use, and facilitating accurate comparison of ESW performance.

测量电击武器电输出的测试方法。
电击武器(ESW)已成为世界各地国内执法机构和军队武器库中无处不在的武器。它是许多执法机构武力升级政策和程序的主要促成因素。ESW 的功能是提供高压低电流电击,当对带电(通常是人体)目标放电时,可使目标暂时丧失能力。因此,必须准确测量 ESW 的输出,以确保其正常运行。此外,准确和标准化的 ESW 输出测量有助于信息的协作传输,从而促进对 ESW 生理效应的了解,推动安全有效使用该技术的发展,并便于准确比较 ESW 的性能。
