Other Considerations for Arctic Char
For fighting domestic terrorism, one objective is to retain forensic evidence that is lost or compromised when a suspicious package is destroyed using a counter-charge. This preservation of evidence is one of the primary motivations in development of the Taurus. Furthermore, there may be future threats we will face where the collateral damage resulting from accidental detonation triggered by a counter-charge is unacceptable.
