About Axon Enterprise
Axon Enterprise, formerly known as TASER International, was founded in 1993 by brothers Patrick W. Smith and Thomas P. Smith in Tucson, Arizona.
The company began in a garage with the mission to commercialize and improve upon Jack Cover's revolutionary TASER technology, which was originally invented in 1967 by the NASA scientist.
Starting as AIR TASER Inc., the company evolved through strategic rebranding to TASER International in 1998, and finally to Axon Enterprise in 2017 to reflect its expanded focus beyond conducted energy weapons.
Over three decades, Axon has transformed from a startup manufacturing less-lethal weapons into a comprehensive public safety technology ecosystem serving over 17,200 law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Today, Axon Enterprise is a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 with over 4,100 employees and $2.08 billion in revenue, committed to protecting life through innovative technology solutions.
