METHOD OF OPERATION OF A MOUNTED WEAPON AND SYSTEM FOR WEAPON STABILIZATION AND TARGET TRACKING
A system comprising: receive a first set of data collected from a set of sensors attached to a vehicle and a weapon system mounted on the vehicle; analyze the first set of data to determine if at least one target is identified within a predetermined range of the vehicle based on the weapon system; populate a user interface with the at least one targets and a set of information associated with each of the at least one targets; receive a command to focus on one of the identified targets, wherein the weapon system focuses on the identified target, wherein a point of aim is identified on the target; and adjust the weapon system based on movement of the vehicle or movement of the focused target to maintain the point of aim.
METHOD FOR PROTECTING MOVING OR STATIONARY OBJECTS FROM APPROACHING LASER-GUIDED THREATS
The aim of the invention is to enable, in a simple manner, the protection of moving or stationary objects from laser-guided threats, in particular from laser-guided threats approaching the object from above. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that active masses of a corresponding number of decoys are ignited in a specifiable height range to the windward side of the object to be protected such that the decoy cloud(s) forming in this height range is/are moved by the wind force acting thereon over the object to be protected and subsequently conceal said object.
Underwater acoustic deception system and underwater acoustic deception method
An underwater acoustic deception system deceives a sensor installed on a threat existing in or on water by acoustic effect in order to protect ships from the threat. The underwater acoustic deception system is provided with a control device, a laser oscillator and emission optical system. The control device determines a focusing position to focus a laser beam (50) in water in order to generate bubbles (70) at a desired position with a desired scale and emission parameters of the laser beam (50). The laser oscillator generates the laser beam (50) configured to focus in water and generate bubbles. The emission optical system emits the generated laser beam (50) to the focusing position. The underwater acoustic deception system deceives an arbitrary sensor existing in the water by acoustic effect of the bubbles (70) on the surroundings.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ISOLATING OPEN AREAS AND ENCLOSED SPACES AGAINST TRIGGERING EVENTS, ACTIVE SHOOTERS, GUNSHOTS, EXPLOSIVES AND OTHER ACTIVE THREATS
A system and method are provided for facilitating automated and manual segregation of internal areas within a structure, particularly in response to active shooter warnings, or other triggering events. Embodiments may provide automated systems and methods, products and product components 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.

THREAT IDENTIFICATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM WITH OPTIONAL ACTIVE COUNTERMEASURES
Threat identification devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which identify and locate various threats and provide a variety of countermeasures to reduce the loss of life in an attack. In one implementation, a device is provided with a housing and a plurality of tubes coupled to and extending from the housing. Sensors are located within the tubes for sensing external conditions. A control unit is in electronic communication with the sensors. Upon detection of an external condition, the sensors transmit a signal to the control unit, which activates countermeasures, including rotating light sources to identify the location of the external condition as well as preferred escape routes. The control unit may also transmit signals to other devices in the environment, including video panels and speakers, to provide instructions.

Firearm detection system and method
The present invention is directed to a system and method including a firearm detection device that operates silently to identify a firearm or bullet stored in the barrel of the firearm. Utilizing a camera as well as one or more characteristics of the individual carrying the firearm whereby once scanned, the system may send an alert to the proper authorities, with the system utilizing exemption tags to properly identify authorities or other entities that are not threats as well as provide other utilities useful during an emergency situation.
Microwave energy detector
A Faraday enclosure for substantially attenuating microwave-frequency fields outside the Faraday enclosure. Information to and from the circuitry inside the Faraday enclosure is accessible by input pinholes and output pinholes, respectively. A sensor positioned outside of the Faraday enclosure and aligned with the first input pinhole senses microwave-frequency fields. A receiver inside the Faraday enclosure aligned with the input pinhole and the sensor responds to the sensor.
