TASER Technology 
 
TASER International has developed groundbreaking technology, not only in personal protection systems, but in area denial and accountability technology.  Below are some of the key technologies pioneered by TASER.



Neuromuscular Incapacitation (NMI)

The key technology to disable even the most aggressive subjects, NMI temporarily overrides the command and control systems of the body to impair muscular control.

Shaped Pulse™ Technology

A sophisticated pulse wave that utilizes a high voltage leading edge to penetrate barriers such as clothing around the body followed by a lower voltage stimulation pulse to cause neuromuscular incapacitation.

Learn More





Digital Pulse Control (DPC)

A digital controller that constantly adjusts the power throughput of the TASER power supply system to maintain a consistent pulse rate (usually 19 pulses per second) across a broad spectrum of operating conditions.

TASER Cartridge

A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 35 feet (10.6 meters). Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, high voltage insulated TASER wire, bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization. Compatible with TASER M- and X-series models.

C2 Cartridge

A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, high voltage insulated TASER wire, bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization optimized for the TASER C2.

Anti-Felon Identification (AFID)

A system to deter misuse through enhanced accountability, AFID includes bar-coded serialization of each cartridge and disperses confetti-like ID tags upon activation.

Dataport Tracking

Enhanced accountability via secure electronic documentation of device usage history.  The dataport system creates a secure electronic record with the time and date of each activation of a TASER device which can be downloaded to a personal computer.

Learn More





Enhanced USB Dataport

2nd generation dataport technology captures time and date of each device activation as well as additional data such as duration of application, temperature, battery status, and automatic conversion from GMT to local time zones. Allows for plug-and-play download via USB connection.

Laser Integration

A TASER microprocessor controls laser illumination synchronous with safety switch operation.






Laser and Illuminator Integration

User configurable settings control laser and low-intensity illumination synchronous with safety switch operation.






Digital Power Magazine (DPM)

Integrated power source with lithium battery cells and solid state memory module for tracking power consumption, power levels remaining, and allows for software updates to be distributed via battery replacement.

Learn More





Central Information Display (CID)

Digital display that communicates battery percentage, duration remaining during pulse discharge, time, date, and warranty status.

Learn More





CheckLok™

Next generation background check technology ensures full compliance with user identification and screening. Ships in a locked state, can only be unlocked with activation code received upon successful registration and background check approval.
