In some embodiments, autonomous product delivery systems and methods are provided herein useful to deter theft of commercial products via an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). In some embodiments, systems are provided to deter theft of commercial products, and may comprise: an AGV configured to transport commercial products to delivery locations that includes control circuits, which are communicatively coupled to sensors, container storage areas housing commercial products for delivery, defensive elements positioned proximate to the commercial products and configured to physical alter the commercial products and render them unsatisfactory for their intended purpose. The control circuits can determine the presence of unknown third parties positioned next to the AGV and, in response thereto, determine occurrences of adverse events associated with the AGV. Some embodiments, in response to determining the occurrence of adverse events, the control circuits can activate the defensive elements to physically alter the one or more commercial products.

The current invention provides for a fog generator. More specifically, it provides for a housing comprising a fog generating liquid and a valve that, in a closed position, prevents the fog generating liquid from flowing out of the housing, in which the said valve is kept in a closed position by means of a fuse wire (6).

An active vehicle defense system is presented, in which a chemical agent, repellant to humans and/or animals, is stored in the system, and directed to a housing on the exterior of a vehicle by an inlet channel. Within the housing, the inlet channel subdivides into a plurality of lateral channels, each terminating in an orifice, or spray point. A controller allows flows of the chemical agent to be turned on, off, and varied, as well as for relative differentials in flow volume and spray patterns as dispensed by the device, including allowing a 360-degree pattern of defensive spray to be established around a vehicle.

The present invention is a device, system(s) and/or method(s) for disrupting, capturing, and/or disabling and unmanned aerial vehicle(s) in flight, on the ground, or preparing for flight that may or may not be under the control of the invention operator. In certain embodiments, the invention is supported and carried by an unmanned aerial vehicle that is controlled by a ground operator, a computer process and associate hardware, or any combination thereof. In other embodiments, the invention contains physical destruction devices such as projectiles, explosives, spikes, electric shock generators, etc. The invention is manipulated to track, intercept, capture, disrupt, disable and/or move a target unmanned aerial vehicle. In certain embodiments, the invention includes materials able to contain, at least in part, hazardous materials and/or conditions caused by the target unmanned aerial vehicle. In certain embodiments, the invention interfaces with external unmanned aerial vehicle detection/tracking systems. A unique design element in certain embodiments is the ability to limit the potential of the captured aerial vehicle escaping the device and/or falling to the ground. Another unique design element in certain embodiments is the ability of the invention to limit collateral damage caused by the captured unmanned aerial vehicle or apparatuses contained thereon. Another unique design element is the ability of the invention to interface with external unmanned aerial vehicle detection/tracking systems.

A pyrotechnic composition includes a fuel, an oxidizer, flow and rate control agents and oleoresin capsicum as an irritant. The composition is useful in crowd control products. The composition contains rate control ingredients to maintain combustion at a temperature below the point of degradation of the oleoresin capsicum, balanced with a booster material to maintain combustion.
