Provided is a an active shooter monitoring and incapacitation system that can augment active security forces control during emergencies at schools, churches, military, and government institutions. The system includes one or more cameras that are controlled remotely by an operator. If a hostile person or active shooter is located, a warning system, such as an audio/visual alert and laser dazzler is activated to alert nearby people of the threat to vacate and to notify the active shooter that he/she is required to halt any hostile actions. If the hostile person does not cease his activities, one or more stun guns contained within the system are then utilized to incapacitate the active shooter with a large electric shock, thereby incapacitating the person until the authorities arrive.

The present invention is a security system for providing a zone (area) of protection from triphibian drones in the form of an apparatus comprising sonic sensors to sonically detect and triangulate the presence and current position of remotely controlled, operated, or otherwise unmanned vehicles within six-hundred meters of said apparatus; computer enabled software to automatically and securely identify a plurality of users, and to detect, configure, and establish a perimeter for a home or ranch with two or more sensors, and to automatically activate and provide notices and/or warnings for users and occupants when drones are detected; and software to automatically activate/enable drone countermeasures to prevent intrusion by and provide protection against autonomous vehicles and aerial, aquatic, terrestrial, amphibian, biphibian, and triphibian drones into the space surrounding a home or ranch.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a method to augment pilot control of a drone, the method including receiving a planned flight route. Embodiments may also include receiving sensor information from an at least one environment sensor along the planned flight route. In some embodiments, the at least one environment sensor may be located at a predefined location. Embodiments may also include estimating a drone location from the sensor information. Embodiments may also include receiving a speed vector of the drone. Embodiments may also include comparing the drone location to an expected drone location along the planned flight route. Embodiments may also include deriving a flight control command and a speed vector command to return the drone to a point along the planned flight route.

An energy absorbing strut having, a first end coupled with an inner cylinder, and a second end connected with a hollow rod extending within the inner cylinder. A piston is carried by the rod having an outer surface sealing against an inside diameter of the inner cylinder and forming a compression chamber and a rebound chamber bounded by the piston, the rod having an internal passageway communicating between the compression chamber and the rebound chamber. An inertial mass carried by the rod movable axially on the rod between a closed position against and annular rod passageway and an open position opening the rod passageway and allowing the flow of a hydraulic fluid between the compression chamber and the rebound chamber. A spring acts on the inertial mass biasing the inertial mass toward the closed position. The energy absorbing strut may be used in a blast mitigation system for a military vehicle or other applications for providing shock isolation between two structures.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating automated and manual segregation of internal areas within structures in response to active shooter warnings, or other triggering events. Embodiments may provide automated systems and methods, to facilitate simplified and automated (1) deployment of mechanized safety and/or security (bulletproof) curtains, including certain safety curtains comprising, or otherwise formed of, replaceable bulletproof and/or other penetration-resistant materials, and/or (2) actuation of mechanized safety and/or security (bulletproof) doors, to effectively segregate open areas and hallways in buildings. Exemplary embodiments may: (a) limit lines of sight of a perpetrator; (b) interdict bullet flight paths; (c) restrict or eliminate a perpetrator's freedom movement; (d) confine areas of detected explosive ordnance detonations or dispersal of contaminants; (e) provide a means of trapping/isolating a perpetrator; and/or (f) provide local safe havens in active shooter, gunfire, explosive detonation, contaminant dispersal, and like threat scenarios/situations.
