A non-lethal dazzling turret includes a laser operable in the visible spectrum. The non-lethal dazzling turret can be deployed, for example, behind a counter at a convenience store or a gas station, and can include a camera as well as an on-board computer. The non-lethal dazzling turret can stream video to a remote location where an operator can aim and fire the non-lethal dazzling turret at potential targets as needed. Alternatively, a fully autonomous version is disclosed that can be activated by, for example, a panic button.

An automated weapons system is comprised of a human transported weapon having munitions for firing and a computational subsystem, responsive to a targeting subsystem for determining where the chosen target is located, positioning means, adjusting the aim when firing the munitions responsive to the computational subsystem; and, a firing subsystem. An external drone subsystem comprises a drone with a sensing subsystem that communicates to the targeting subsystem, the external drone subsystem located remotely to the human transported weapon subsystem and provides communications between the external drone subsystem and the human transported weapon subsystem. The targeting subsystem selects a chosen target from available targets. The computational subsystem is responsive to the targeting subsystem for determining where the chosen target is located, and then determines where to aim so that the munitions will strike the chosen target. Positioning means, adjusts the aim when firing the munitions responsive to the computational subsystem. A firing subsystem fires the munitions at the chosen target responsive to the positioning means.

A system includes at least one imaging sensor configured to capture images of a target. The system also includes at least one controller configured to generate super-resolution images of the target using the captured images and identify multiple edges of the target using the super-resolution images. The at least one controller is also configured to identify an aimpoint on the target based on the identified edges of the target. In addition, the at least one controller is configured to update the aimpoint on the target as the target moves over time. The system may further include a high-energy laser (HEL) configured to generate an HEL beam that is directed towards the target, and the at least one controller may be configured to adjust one or more optical devices to direct the HEL beam at the identified aimpoint on the target.

Disclosed are systems and methods of heating and cooling a laser system by providing a vapor compression system having a plurality of compressors. A control system controls the activity of each compressor and activates and manages the speed of each compressor to efficiently provide cooling and heating of the laser system.

A high-power electromagnetic source for HPEM pulses in a desired radiation direction includes at least three antennas fixed in relation to one another for pulse components, wherein at least two groups of antennas with a respective main direction are present, and a control unit for the activation and phase position of the pulse components for the superimposition for the HPEM pulse, wherein the current radiation direction of said pulse is selectable in an angle range around the main direction. A vehicle with an HPEM source has the antennas mounted in a fixed position or a support for the antennas is pivotably mounted on the vehicle. In a method for emitting the HPEM pulse, all antennas are controlled in order to select the radiation direction in the angle range of less than 360°.

Systems and devices for temporarily disabling an assailant or other target using disabling flashes of light from a light-emitting device. A tactical lighting system also includes protective eyewear that is paired with the light-emitting device and configured to shutter in synchronization with the pattern of disabling light flashes to protect the wearer's eyes while disabling an assailant or other target.

An anti-drone weapon having a housing and at least one antenna positioned within the housing. The at least one antenna capable of operating at a frequency at least between 400 MHz and 6 GHz. In some configurations, a power supply, processor and control circuitry and a control panel, within the housing. In some configurations, the at least one antenna includes three antenna, including, a double helical antenna, a quasi-yagi antenna and a log-periodic antenna.

According to one embodiment an electric shock self-defence cartridge is provided that includes a distal body in which one or more application means is housed, and a proximal body in which a wire is housed. The proximal body includes coupling means and electric connection means for being joined with the electric shock self-defence device. Compression means is arranged between the distal body and the proximal body for keeping the distal body shifted towards a rest position. The application means is housed in the distal body, such that in use, when the distal body is in contact with an assailant, the distal body shifts with respect to the proximal body from the rest position towards an actuation position in which the application means projects from the distal body to be adhered to the assailant's body.

An entangling projectile includes a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets. The pellets each have a head portion and a tail portion. At least one gasket is carried by the head portion of at least one of the pellets. The gasket is operable to provide a sealed interface between the head portion of the at least one pellet and a socket within which the at least one pellet is fired from a launcher.
