SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies,
announced today that the Air National Guard, the reserve branch of
the U.S. Air Force, will renew its TASER device program and deploy
roughly 5,000 TASER X26P energy weapons to reserve troops. With
this order, the Air National Guard will replace the TASER X26E
devices currently in use. This order was received in Q3
2021.
"We are thrilled to see more branches of the U.S. military
adopting de-escalation and less-lethal tools, and are excited to
work with the Air National Guard as they expand their TASER device
program," says Richard Coleman, Axon
Federal Senior Vice President and General Manager. "This order by
the Air National Guard demonstrates a continued commitment by our
armed forces to protect U.S. military personnel with less-lethal
technology. We look forward to continuing our support of the U.S.
Department of Defense."
The TASER X26P is Axon's smallest and most compact professional
series less-lethal energy weapon. With an all-digital platform, the
X26P allows for improved precision and analytics, giving the Air
National Guard a clear picture on when a TASER device is used in
the field.
