I remember when Axon’s TASER X-26 was the newest less lethal device on the market. It wasn’t just a step up from the M-26, it was a giant leap in technology. The M-26 was the first conducted energy weapon to produce neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI). NMI is the motor-nerve stimulation of the muscles that occur when electrical pulses temporarily interfere with the command-and-control systems of the body.

The decrease in voltage also allows for polarity switching between probes (positive and negative). An officer can deploy as many as 10 individual probes. The TASER 10 chooses between the most effective two, three or four probes and changes their polarity with up to 44 pulses per second to most effectively attain NMI. In other words, more Band-Aids, fewer deaths – no matter how many probes are deployed on a subject. Metabolic stress testing and muscular strain testing are showing the TASER 10 to be as safe or safer than previous models.

Air Compressor: The air compressor is the main component of the instrument air system. It compresses ambient air and supplies it at a higher pressure. Typically, rotary screw compressors or reciprocating compressors are used for this purpose. Air Dryer: The air dryer removes moisture from the compressed air to prevent corrosion and damage to the instruments. Common types of air dryers used in power plants include refrigerated dryers, desiccant dryers, and membrane dryers. Air Filters: Air filters are installed to remove particulate matter, oil, and other impurities from the compressed air. They ensure that the air supplied to the instruments is clean and free from contaminants. Pressure Regulators: Pressure regulators are used to control and maintain a stable pressure in the instrument air system. They ensure that the compressed air is supplied at the desired pressure range required by the instruments. Air Receiver Tank: An air receiver tank is a storage vessel that provides a reservoir of compressed air. It helps in maintaining a steady supply of air during peak demand periods and serves as a buffer for the compressor operation. Distribution Piping: The instrument air system consists of a network of distribution piping that carries the compressed air from the compressor to the instruments and control devices throughout the power plant. The piping is typically made of materials such as steel or copper. Instrument Air Dryer: In some power plants, an additional instrument air dryer may be installed specifically for critical instruments or control systems that require ultra-dry air. These dryers can provide extremely low dew points to ensure the highest level of instrument reliability. Instrumentation and Control Devices: Various instruments and control devices, such as pressure gauges, flow meters, control valves, and pneumatic actuators, are connected to the instrument air system. These devices utilize the compressed air to measure and control different parameters within the power plant.

On January 24, 2023, Axon introduced the TASER 10 at TASERCON. After my video call with Axon Senior Vice President Patrick Madden the previous day, it was obvious to me that the TASER 10 iteration is less of a step up and more of a giant leap.

Don’t misunderstand me. Neither Axon nor I am saying firearms will not always have a place in law enforcement. I would never consider any less lethal tool against a firearm or any immediate close-quarters threat. Any less lethal tool should not be used in a lethal force situation without lethal force backup and all department policies should be strictly followed.

The test subjects found the TASER 10 easier and more intuitive to use than a firearm due to the lack of recoil and stress over the consequences arising from a miss. Every bullet fired hits something and is much less forgiving than a TASER probe. Users’ heart rates were found to be about 15 beats per second slower using the TASER 10 in high-stress testing than when they were using simulated firearms.

Axon has fielded its TASER 10 to seven U.S. agencies and two international agencies for the past several months, who racked up 10 deployments with a 100% success rate. The company has conducted 400 voluntary test deployments and has trained 500 officers. That’s a small sample size, but after extensive testing, Axon believes the TASER 10 will be over 95% successful. There were over 25 successful de-escalations from the spooky charge-up sound the T10 makes. It reminds me of the sound you hear on TV and in movies right before emergency room personnel use a defibrillator.

The TASER 7 used weighted probes to push their way into an effective position through clothing. The TASER 10 has an increased velocity of just over 200 feet per second. The combination of a lighter wire and that velocity has not only increased accuracy but allows for increased performance in attaining NMI from the TASER 7 to the TASER 10.

“This is our moonshot,” Madden told me. If you’re unfamiliar with that phrase, Madden is referring to the voyages of Apollo 10 and Apollo 11. Apollo 10 circled the moon but didn’t land. It was considered a dress rehearsal for the eventual Apollo 11 landing. Apollo 10’s mission gathered the required information and confidence needed to put a man on the moon. Axon considers TASER 10 to be the company’s first step in its own moonshot toward the mission of cutting firearms-related deaths between law enforcement and the public by 50% in ten years.

As one would expect the TASER 10 is IP 67-rated, which means it’s waterproof and dustproof (aka cop-proof!). The RMA rate (Return Merchandise Authorization) is expected to be less than 1%. Axon worked with the Department of Justice, the National Institute of Justice, the African American Organization of Mayors and the International Association of Chiefs of Police among others during their development of the TASER 10. That collaboration, decades of research and experience, and innovation in technology have led to what may be the most effective less-lethal weapon in history.

Instrumentaircomposition

The instrument air system provides clean, dry, and compressed air for various instruments and control devices used in the various plant processes. It is typically used in applications where the air quality is critical, such as in the operation of pneumatic instruments, control valves, and other equipment. The instrument air system ensures that the air supplied to these instruments is free from contaminants, moisture, and oil, which could otherwise affect their performance or cause damage.

Air dryer regeneration refers to the process by which an air dryer removes the accumulated moisture from its desiccant material or other moisture-absorbing media, allowing the dryer to continue effectively drying the compressed air. As compressed air passes through an air dryer, it often contains moisture vapor. The primary purpose of the air dryer is to reduce the dew point of the compressed air, ensuring that it remains dry and free from moisture before it is used in various applications or equipment.

Law enforcement doesn’t use lethal force because it’s lethal; lethal force is simply and unfortunately the most reliable way to protect the public and officers from an immediate deadly threat. Consider, however, a disturbed individual with a boxcutter 40 feet away. We’ve all heard of the “21-foot principle” (that an attacker can close on and attack an officer with an edged weapon before he or she can draw and fire from seven yards away). Force Science Institute estimates that distance at a much more disturbing 31 feet. The TASER 10’s ability to effectively deploy at 45 feet (where 80% of officer-involved shootings occur) means officers will have more time and options in similar situations.

The TASER 10 uses only 1000 volts to allow for 10 probes in the same compact package as previous models and extend the effective range to 45 feet.

Axon took an interesting approach to accuracy testing. An adult male thigh is about 6" x 10". The company used that for a target base. The test group was a large number of officers and citizens with vastly different skill levels in both TASERs and firearms. The results were a greater than 90% hit rate at 15 feet and a greater than 70% hit rate at 33 feet. That is nearly as precise as their legacy weapons at three times the distance.

Very nice 💯 IA & CA both are actually from same air compressor but different uses just same like Lube oil and secondary or control oil in the Power plant which is same oil from MOT but different application ... Thank u Mr Ahmed for informative Content.

Legacy TASERs have always been 50,000-volt weapons. I’ve even heard officers verbalize that fact to suspects in hopes of pre-employment de-escalation. The TASER 10 needs only 1,000 volts to accomplish the same mission. This allows for a smaller wire, smaller cartridges, more accurate travel and up to 45 feet of effective range. The only caveat is that the probes must pierce the skin as the energy can’t arc through clothing.

The regeneration process varies depending on the type of air dryer. In heatless regeneration, the dryer utilizes a portion of the dry compressed air to purge the moisture from the desiccant bed. In heated regeneration, a separate heat source, such as electric heaters or external hot air, is used to heat the desiccant and drive out the moisture. The specific steps and procedures involved in the regeneration process can differ based on the design and manufacturer's specifications of the air dryer.

Madden had to tell me three different times that the TASER 10 deploys only one probe at a time before I truly grasped what he was saying. “No more geometry,” I thought.

Madden explained that the ability to choose where each individual probe is placed allows the officer to localize the NMI depending on the situation. For example, officers have been discouraged from using their TASER on a fleeing subject because the NMI can render their arms useless during their fall, which often leads to serious head injuries. With the TASER 10, the user can accurately and quickly place one probe in each leg of the fleeing subject. The offender still can break their fall and the apprehension can be made more safely.

Pressure Relief: The first step in the regeneration process is to relieve the pressure. This is typically achieved by closing the inlet and outlet valves of the dryer and opening a pressure relief valve. By venting the compressed air to the atmosphere or a lower pressure level and then closing the blow-off valve. Purge Cycle Initiation: Once depressurization, the purge cycle is initiated. The purge cycle involves starting the blower to start heating and then precooling through redirecting a portion of the dry compressed air from the outlet of the dryer to flow in the reverse direction. Purge Airflow: The dry compressed air flows through the dryer in the opposite direction to the adsorption airflow. This counter-flowing air carries away the moisture that was previously adsorbed. Moisture Removal: As the purge air passes through the dryer, it collects the moisture adsorbed. The moisture-laden purge air, now saturated with moisture, is discharged from the dryer through a purge valve or exhaust port and stops the blower then starts cooling. Pressure Equalization: After the purge cycle, the airflow to the desiccant bed is closed, and the desiccant bed is repressurized. This is done by opening the inlet and outlet valves of the dryer and allowing the wet incoming compressed air to flow through the desiccant bed. The pressure equalization phase prepares the dryer for the next drying cycle. Split Flow: In some air dryer designs, a split flow configuration is used to optimize the regeneration process. In this step, a portion of the dry compressed air is diverted for the regeneration process, while the remaining portion continues to supply dry air to the application. This allows continuous drying of the compressed air while ensuring efficient regeneration of the desiccant bed.

Having been a TASER user and instructor for most of my career, I was nonplussed. With legacy TASERs, the officer had no choice but to deploy two probes at one time and had no more than two opportunities to land two probes in the right places to obtain NMI.

The X-26’s shaped pulse technology allowed it to be smaller and use less power to achieve NMI much more effectively. Since then, we’ve seen the X-26P, X2, X3 and TASER 7, all of which brought advances in technology such as current metering, virtual reality integration, rechargeable batteries, dual laser sighting and pulse calibration. Most of us were interested in the next step in TASER technology.

The service air system is designed to provide a source of air for general plant use. The air is not filtered as thoroughly as instrument air, it refers to the compressed air system that provides air for various utility and support functions within the plant. It is used for non-critical applications and services that do not require the same level of air quality as instrument air systems.
