BLUF
The authors propose developing nonlethal grappling techniques for restraining dangerous individuals in microgravity without damaging fragile spacecraft. They argue testing should address altered movement, human physiology, crew safety and legal responsibilities before operational adoption.Learning Outcomes
· Explain why microgravity requires specialised nonlethal restraint techniques.
· Analyse physiological and physical constraints affecting orbital combatives.
· Assess testing, legal and ethical requirements for military adoption.
