TASER International, Inc. (TASER) develops and manufactures advanced electronic control devices (ECDs) designed for use in the law enforcement, military, corrections, private security and personal defense markets. The Company makes ECDs for two main types of market segments: the law enforcement, military, corrections and professional security markets, and the consumer market. Its products use a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy and propel two small probes that are attached to the ECD by insulated conductive wires with lengths ranging from 15 to 35 feet. The Company’s ECDs transmit electrical pulses along the wires and into the body affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The energy can penetrate up to two cumulative inches of clothing, or one inch per probe. The initial effect lasts five seconds for its law enforcement, military and corrections products and up to thirty seconds for its consumer market models.
