Which sensory systems are affected by NMI?

Nonlethal Munitions Impact (NMI) affects both the sensory and motor systems, making the correct response one that acknowledges this dual impact. The sensory systems pertain to how individuals perceive external stimuli, including touch, sight, and sound. These systems can be temporarily impaired through various nonlethal means, often leading to disorientation or diminished perception.

Simultaneously, the motor systems are involved in facilitating movement and coordination. Nonlethal munitions can disrupt these systems, causing temporary impairment, such as reduced mobility or loss of coordination.

Understanding this dual impact is crucial for those trained in nonlethal tactics, as it informs both the intended use of such munitions in operational contexts and the expected effects on individuals targeted. Recognizing that both sensory perception and motor function can be affected helps in developing appropriate responses and ensures adherence to appropriate engagement rules during operations.
