Abstract
A weapon system and corresponding ammunition for causing less-than-lethal effects to a target employ a projectile fired from a rifle-mounted, rifle-operated or dedicated rifle-like device and configured for generating less-than-lethal effects to a human target. The projectile includes a rocket motor configured to mitigate velocity decay of the projectile. The rocket motor is preferably a sustainer motor for maintaining a roughly constant cruise velocity of the projectile.

Ammunition for causing less-than-lethal effects to a target, the ammunition comprising a projectile configured for generating less-than-lethal effects to a human target, said projectile including a rocket motor configured to mitigate velocity decay of the projectile.
A less-than-lethal weapon system for causing less-than-lethal effects to a human target located between a minimum range and a maximum range, said weapon system comprising:
- (a) a projectile configured for generating less-than-lethal effects to a human target;
- and
- (b) a firing arrangement configured for firing said projectile towards the human target,
- wherein said projectile includes a rocket motor configured to mitigate velocity decay of the projectile.
