History and Development
Axon was founded in 1993 as TASER International, initially focused on developing non-lethal alternatives to firearms.
The company expanded its scope by introducing video and digital evidence solutions, recognizing the growing need for documentation and accountability in public safety operations.
A key milestone was the launch of cloud-based evidence management platforms, enabling agencies to store and manage digital records efficiently.
The company later rebranded as Axon, reflecting its transition into a broader technology provider combining hardware, software, and cloud services.
In recent years, Axon has expanded its ecosystem with AI-driven tools, real-time operational platforms, and integrated public safety solutions, reinforcing its position as a global leader in the sector.
