Capability The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is used for riot and disturbance control. The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects.

Lifespan 5 years from date of manufacture
Manufacturer's The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is designed for indoor use. This grenade's Description pyrotechnic contents are burned within an internal can that is one of three in this design. The internal combustion allows the chemical-laden smoke to be released through three (3) ports on the outer canister side while safely containing any of the fire-producing properties within the two internal canisters.

The fuze is shrouded to further protect surrounding materials from the possibility of fire. The Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade can be used in crowd control as well as tactical deployment situations by Law Enforcement and Corrections, but was designed with the barricade situation in mind. Its applications in tactical situations are primarily to detect and/or dislodge barricaded subjects. The purpose of the Tri-Chamber Flameless Grenade is to minimize the risks to all parties through pain compliance, temporary discomfort, and/or incapacitation of potentially violent or dangerous subjects. The Tri- Chamber Flameless Grenade provides the option of delivering a pyrotechnic chemical device indoors, maximizing the chemicals' effectiveness via heat and vaporization, while minimizing or negating the chance of fire to the structure.

The actual smoke and chemical content is minimal enough that oxygen displacement concerns and LCT is rarely reached. It is a viable option when chemical-laden powders or liquids are ineffective or inappropriate for the situation. As with all pyrotechnic carriers, contamination will be greater than that experienced with powders or liquids.

Training Required Only SWAT Officers that have completed a SWAT basic academy are authorized to utilize the Riot Control CS Grenade. SWAT Officers will conduct continued training with the use of hand deployed chemical agent devices during supplemental SWAT courses and trainings. Additionally, officers who have received P.O.S.T. certification in the use of chemical agents are authorized to use them.
