KWESST Micro Systems (KWE) has received orders from three law enforcement agencies for approximately $400,000 in ARWEN products.

One order from an overseas national police agency is for approximately $250,000 to be shipped next month. The other two orders are from Canadian law enforcement agencies, with one order shipped in late December 2021 and the other scheduled to ship this month.

“It is gratifying to see this early acceleration in the pace of orders from our recent acquisition of ARWEN,” said Jeff MacLeod, Founder, President and CEO of KWESST.

“This reinforces our conviction that there is strong growth potential for ARWEN products around the world, particularly in an environment of heightened civil unrest and anxiety about rising crime.”

ARWEN is a highly respected brand in the industry, with under-exploited potential. Its reach into the law enforcement community could accelerate KWESST’s introduction of its non-lethal Low Energy Cartridge (LEC) system to police agencies. The first LEC products are to be showcased at the 2022 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, January 18-21.

KWESST acquired Police Ordnance Company and its ARWEN Less Lethal product line in December 2021.

ARWEN products are used by law enforcement across North America and internationally. ARWEN is a 37mm less-lethal system that is based on two firing platforms, a multi-shot launcher and a single shot launcher. ARWEN’s full line of munitions covers the range from impact to chemical rounds and has proven highly effective in any dynamic situation to bring a safe conclusion to a potentially violent incident.

KWESST develops and commercializes breakthrough next-generation tactical systems that meet the requirements of security forces and personal defence for overmatch capability against adversaries.

KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (KWE) opened trading at C$1.16 per share.
