The Home Defense™ was developed to provide responsible gun owners with a less-lethal-first option that may allow them to stop or deter a threat before resorting to deadly force. Using Alternative Ballistics’ patented bullet capture technology, the system works with a firearm they already own while preserving the ability to transition to conventional ammunition if the threat persists. "Our international distribution strategy has focused on partnering with experienced organizations that understand their local markets and regulatory environments," said Jason LeBlanc, Chief Operating Officer of Alternative Ballistics. "Following the recent domestic retail launch of The Home Defense™, we're excited that PT Panglima Pandawa Sakti will become our first international online marketplace, further expanding the Company's commercial reach and introducing The Home Defense™ to qualified consumers in Indonesia." "We are pleased to partner with Alternative Ballistics to introduce its innovative less-lethal technology to Indonesia," said Hilman Darmawan, Vice Director of PT Panglima Pandawa Sakti. "We believe The Home Defense™ addresses an important need within our market and reflects our commitment to bringing innovative defensive technologies to qualified consumers in Indonesia. We look forward to working closely with Alternative Ballistics as the Company expands its international commercial footprint." Demand is growing worldwide for defensive products that offer additional response options between common self-defense tools and deadly force. In Indonesia, civilian firearm ownership and lawful carry are highly restricted, with many individuals authorized to carry firearms serving in law enforcement or other approved security-related roles. For these trained professionals, The Home Defense™ can provide an additional mitigation tool in situations where a less-lethal response may be appropriate before escalating to the use of deadly force. The Home Defense™ offers firearm owners an additional response option during the initial stages of evolving encounters. For off-duty law enforcement officers in particular, the ability to respond with a less-lethal-first option may help them manage uncertain situations, attempt to de-escalate a confrontation when appropriate, and reserve deadly force for circumstances in which it becomes necessary. Every defensive encounter is unique, and users remain responsible for complying with all applicable laws, agency policies, and exercising sound judgment. This agreement further advances Alternative Ballistics' international commercialization strategy and represents another step in expanding the availability of The Home Defense™ through qualified distribution partners.
