MARKER BALL MOUNTING DEVICE, AND MARKER BALL DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A marker ball mounting device, comprising a spring-loaded clamp, adapted with a spring-loaded arrangement to force and maintain said spring-loaded clamp in a closed state, and with a collapsible trigger capable of forcibly holding said spring-loaded clamp in an open state; and seat that attaches to the side of a marker ball and supports said spring-loaded clamp, wherein said seat comprises a clasp that supports said spring-loaded clamp and provides firm attachment thereof with said seat, wherein said spring-loaded clamp is configured to detachably connect with a suspension device while being held in an open state by said collapsible trigger and to simultaneously clamp onto a cable, that trips said collapsible trigger, and disconnect from said suspension device.
Device, system, and method for transport and activation of a two- part explosive
A system for delivering and activating a two-part explosive may include an unmanned vehicle and/or an elevated structure, and a two-part explosive device. The device may include a container that is attached to, and releasable from, the unmanned vehicle or elevated structure. The container may contain an unsensitized explosive enclosed in a casing and and a sensitizing agent adjacent to the casing. The device may include an opening mechanism positioned at least partially within the container and adjacent to the casing. The opening mechanism may open the casing and expose the unsensitized explosive to the sensitizing agent, forming the two-part explosive in response to the container being released from the unmanned vehicle or elevated structure. The device may include a detonator inside or attached to the container. The detonator may trigger ignition of the two-part explosive after the unsensitized explosive is exposed to the sensitizing agent.
