APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE LAUNCH, RECOVERY, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

An apparatus for launching, recovering, transporting, and storing vehicles is disclosed. The apparatus stabilizes the vehicle while it is in operation or inactive and has a frame connected to at least one stabilizer. In certain configurations, the apparatus stabilizes the vehicle without using the vehicle's onboard landing gear.

WIRELESSLY CONDUCTED ELECTRONIC WEAPON

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).

Weapon equipment and projectile especially adapted for such weapon equipment
09921032 · 2018-03-20 · ·

Weapon equipment including a launcher and a projectile, the projectile having an operating head, a tail and a weight between 750 g and 1000 g. The tail includes a tube made of an aluminum alloy having an inner diameter between 21.5 and 22.5 mm, a stroke between first and second locations between 110 mm and 120 mm, and a thickness in the vicinity of the first location between 4.6 mm and 5 mm, a piston movable between the first and second locations and defining with the tube a hermetically-sealed propulsion chamber, a propulsion charge placed in the propulsion chamber, the propulsion charge including a powder having a heat of combustion between 3500 J/g and 4000 J/g, the propulsion charge having a mass greater than 2.4 g and less than 3.7 g.

Flying Disc(s) with Handle
20240424421 · 2024-12-26 ·

This invention is a type of flying disc. It has very special features that makes it unique and an innovation. To the flying disc part one can add a handle, thus, making it a flying disc with a handle protruding downwards from the center of the flying disc part. To this flying disc with a handle, one can add many features like: an overhang, a dome, lights, sound devices, solar panels, computer, buttons, light sensors, speakers, TV screen, meteorological instruments, remote control, drone capabilities, flaps, wings, propellers, etc. Also, this flying disc with a handle rotates like a top on various surfaces. Thus, it is a flying disc and a top in one. To the flying disc with a handle, one can add or take off parts, like extensions, handle, and flying disc parts to create bigger or more interesting flying discs, as shown in the drawings.

Less-lethal force device impact ratio
09823033 · 2017-11-21 ·

Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile, such as a rubber-encapsulated metal block, that is mated to a docking base by way of a mounting pins or base. The projectile may be made with a cavity located in its rearward section for enabling the projectile to fit onto the mounting pins portion of the docking base through compression or interference fit. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system. The mounting pins are configured to provide clearance to the sighting mechanism on the firearm.

Methods for increasing the number of countermeasure expendables for dispensing systems

Various systems and methods for leveraging legacy countermeasure dispensing systems (CMDSs). The legacy CMDSs are leveraged through the expansion of breechplates and magazines in a CMDS by expanding the amount of expendables carried by a CMDS while still maintaining the legacy sequencer and dispenser in a legacy military platform, such as an aircraft. In addition, various circuitry systems are included in a circuit card of the breechplate for duplicating and/or expanding the firing lines provided in a legacy CMDS.
