The Aegis Advantage

Aegis is a ground-breaking forerunner in intermediate force options with several industry innovations, including:

• First to offer the magnitude of multiple force options in a single and scalable hand-held device.
   
• First to give operators the ability to transition up and down the force continuum faster, safer and more effectively than ever before.
   
• First to give operators the flexibility to utilize force options individually, in combination or even simultaneously, depending upon the situation.
   
• First to propose that NeuroMuscular Incapacitation (NMI) can be achieved independent of higher voltages. Aegis' Non-Invasive NMI (NINMI) technology achieves incapacitation less invasively and with much lower voltage.
   
• First to have NINMI technology externally and independently researched,
  peer-reviewed and published in professional journals prior to going to market.
   
• First to develop and measure NINMI technology within IEC standards, an internationally recognized, accepted and applicable electrical safety standard.
   
• First to recognize the danger(s) associated with repeated and prolonged cross-thoracic exposures from stun devices due to the proximity of vital respiratory and cardiac organs in this area.
   
• First to provide a scalable close-quarter intermediate force option that allows an operator to also control the location and duration of a NINMI exposure.
   
• First to develop a digitally controlled precision waveform.
   
• First to develop a professional grade NINMI device that does not look like a firearm.  This is a critical advantage since a number of deaths have occurred as a result of law enforcement officers drawing a firearm when they  intended to draw an intermediate force option.
   
• First to recognize the liability of utilizing spark gaps in the electrical circuitry of a stun device and replace them with an electrical circuit that would increase reliability, safety and effectiveness of a neuromuscular incapacitation option. 
   
• First to recognize and recommend the need for manufacturers and end user organizations to perform regular and routine measurements of each and every stun device as well as record these measurements in a comprehensive digital data base format. 
   
• First to develop a means for end user organizations to measure stun devices and record the measurements in a digital data base format.
