Formed in 1998, this company researches, develops, manufactures, and distributes non-lethal weapons for law enforcement and military markets. Its parent company, Jaycor, has been contributing to U.S. government-sponsored projects since the late 1970s, such as developing means to employ non-lethal technologies in "operations other than war" and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Recent law enforcement and military demand for alternatives to lethal force technologies has created a ripe environment for JTS' PepperBall family of non-lethal weapons.
