Non-lethal/tube launched munition system a. The non-lethal/tube launched munition system(NL/TLMS) is a vehicle or ground-mounted, multi-shot, electrically actuated, non-lethal munitions grenade launcher. The system is a non-lethal addition to the force protection toolset. It provides the user with a non-lethal means of determining potential hostile intent at sufficient stand-off distance. It is composed of a 40mm multi-flash bang cartridge, launcher, and a family of bracket kits. The NL/TLMS will be fired into dedicated impact areas only. b. The NL/TLMS may be mounted on the Gunner’s Protective Kit, Objective-Gunner’s Protective Kit or the Marine Corps Transparent Armor Gun Shield. The NL/TLMS may also be ground-mounted on an M3 machine gun tripod. When vehicle-mounted, the NL/TLMS is co-axially mounted with either the M2 .50 caliber machine gun, MK19 40mm machine gun, or the M240G machine gun. The use of the Marine Corps Transparent Armor Gun Shield with the NL/ TLMS installed in an extended position is prohibited until an upgraded universal pintle and base frame bracket assembly is incorporated. 179 DA PAM 385–63 • 16 April 2014
