Tear Gassing by Remote Control

THIS REPORT, CONCERNED WITH BREACHES OF THE CWC, WAS PRODUCED JOINTLY BY BRADFORD NON-LETHAL WEAPONS RESEARCH PROJECT AND OMEGA FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL PROJECT.

The use of riot control agents (RCAs) as a method of warfare is prohibited under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The Convention, however, permits the employment of such chemicals for law enforcement including domestic riot control purposes, provided they are used in “types and quantities” consistent with such purposes.

This report highlights the ongoing development, testing, production and promotion by a range of State and commercial entities of a wide variety of “remote control” RCA means of delivery including: indoor fixed installation RCA dispersion devices; external area clearing or area denial devices; automatic grenade launchers; multiple munition launchers; delivery mechanisms on unmanned ground vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
