An electroshock system wirelessly delivers a shock to a subject. The electroshock system may include a launcher, a wireless projectile, a power source, and a wireless power transmitter. The launcher is configured to be grasped by a user. The wireless projectile is configured to detach from the launcher and adhere to a subject. The power source contributes power for the administration of a shock to the subject. The wireless power transmitter delivers said contributed power to the wireless projectile while the wireless projectile is detached from the launcher. The power source and the wireless transmitter may be co-located with the launcher, or may be separate (such as secured to a person or within a vehicle).

A magazine for storing and launching countermeasures arranged in cartridges, comprising a plurality of longitudinal cartridge cases forming the magazine, where the magazine comprises a tilting means adapted to tilt the cartridge cases, such that the openings of the cartridge cases can be directed in a selected direction, and where a countermeasure comprises multiple projectiles, and where the magazine is adapted to launch a first countermeasure and a second countermeasure, where the projectile cluster density of the first countermeasure is lower than the projectile cluster density of the second countermeasure. The advantage of the invention is that a countermeasure can be directed towards an incoming object and can be adapted for the distance to the object before it is launched.

The present invention concerns an arrangement (1) configured for storing and launching a payload (3) and a method for launching the payload (3) from the arrangement (1). A body (9) of the arrangement (1) comprises a compartment (15) configured to store and eject the payload (3). An aerodynamic surface (11) of the body (9) is provided with a launch opening (13) comprising a guideway (17) extending from the compartment (15). A sliding portion (12) of the payload (3) is configured to slide along the guideway (17) and through the launch opening (13) upon ejection. The extension of the guideway (17) inclines with an acute angle (?) relative the normal (N) to the centre line (CL) of the elongated body (9).

A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening where the countermeasures are stored in cartridges, where the cartridges are interconnect to each other in a slidable manner, and where the cartridges are adapted to be tilted by a tilting means to a selected angle, such that the openings of the cartridges can be directed in a selected direction. The advantage of the invention is that a countermeasure can be directed in a desired angle before it is launched.

An apparatus for launching incendiary spheres for prescribed burning is provided. This apparatus receives charged, or injected, spherical incendiaries, then launches them in a controlled direction at a controlled distance. The charged incendiaries are first emitted from a conventional Plastic Sphere Dispenser (PSD) into the intake of the apparatus whereupon they are moved along a lower pathway by a delivering wheel to a launching point relative to a spinning wheel or a plurality of spinning wheels. These spinning wheels convey velocity to each incendiary sphere, which is thereby launched in a trajectory that is determined by the azimuth of orientation, and the rotational velocity, of the spinning wheels.

The disclosure relates to a system and a method for dispensing detection of a pyrotechnical countermeasure in a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser system (1). The method comprises: providing a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser control unit (4) with a recoil-sensing device (5), wherein upon activation of a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispensing command, monitoring the sensing of a recoil signal (8) from the recoil-sensing device (5) during a monitoring window (6), determining that a dispensing of the pyrotechnical countermeasure from a pyrotechnical countermeasure cartridge (3) has occurred upon detection of the recoil signal (8) exceeding a recoil detection threshold value (9) during the monitoring window (6), determining that a misfire of the pyrotechnical countermeasure has occurred upon no detection of the recoil signal (8) during the monitoring window (6).
