Abstract: The non-living simulation target applicable to the evaluation of conducted electrical weapons (CEWs) is conducive to eliminating the differences bewteen experimental animals, which is of great significance for the accurate evaluation of the performance of CEWs and ensuring their safe use. Firstly, the output characteristics of a police CEW applied to a swine are tested, and the capacitive impedance for living targets is identified. Secondly, based on the similar component and volume as well as salt content adjustment, we prepared the gelatin simulation targest containing 0.1%,0.2% and 0.4% salt. The CEWs output test result shows similarities of equivalent impedance curves for gelatin and animal targets, and the relationship between impedance curve subsection and the shock loading frequency is identified; the gelatin target containing 0.1% salt shows the best similarity to the living animal with the error less than 7.72% in terms of output current and less than 26.63% in terms of output voltage and equivalent impedance.
