New TASER X26P Smart Weapon Announced
Revitalized CEW Combines Classic Features With Modernized Technology
X26P Revealed as Newest TASER Innovation
The X26P combines the classic form factor and cartridge compatibility of the original X26 model with new enhanced Smart technology features. The single-shot device will feel familiar to officers while providing improved functionality.
Integrates Core Smart TASER Elements
The X26P incorporates elements of the advanced Smart TASER platform also seen on the X2 model, giving users updated technology in a familiar device. This includes safety and performance boosting features developed over the last decade to create the ultimate CEW experience.
Provides Familiar Form Factor
With the X26 platform being TASER’s most popular model historically, the company saw demand for a cost-effective single-shot option without substantial new training requirements. The X26P aims to deliver the features officers want while using the highly recognizable and easy to use X26 form.
Enhanced With Smart Technology
Digital Architecture
An all-digital, solid-state architecture using Charge Metering allows precise delivery of electric charge for maximum safety and effectiveness.
Trilogy Logging Capabilities
Trilogy Logs provide extensive data capture capabilities recording device usage parameters, user actions, pulse delivery details, and more. This facilitates analysis and oversight.
Compatibility With Other Products
The X26P utilizes TASER’s Universal Smart Platform, meaning it can integrate with other Smart products seamlessly, including TASER CAM HD, Performance Power Magazines, Automatic Performance Power Magazines, and more. Firmware is also updateable over the internet.
Integration With Cloud Platform
Like all Smart CEWs, the X26P integrates with EVIDENCE.com, TASER’s secure cloud-based evidence management platform, for streamlined evidence handling and analysis.
Quality and Reliability Improvements
Weatherproofing Rating
The X26P is IPX2-rated for weatherproofing, allowing it to withstand exposure to rain and moisture much better than previous models. Officers can count on solid performance in harsh conditions.
Warranty and Support
TASER stands behind the X26P with our world-class warranty and customer support services for peace of mind. Help is available as needed to keep the devices operational.
Improved Power Magazine
An upgraded eXtended Performance Power Magazine (XPPM) provides a more ergonomic grip shape as well as dedicated on-board storage for a spare cartridge, protecting and keeping it close at hand when needed.
Cost Effectiveness
Upgraded Battery Life
Using a newly improved power magazine, battery life lasts twice as long as the battery in legacy X26 units. Officers spend less time managing batteries and more time policing.
Upgrade/Trade-in Program
For existing customers, discounted upgrade pricing and a new X26/X26P trade-in program provides an affordable path to refresh inventory with the latest technology improvements.
