Methods and systems for the generation of non-lethal and lethal effects using ultra-short pulse lasers. A laser source generates pulses at the direction of a controller and directs the pulses along an optical path to one or more high-speed beam steering devices, also directed by the controller, which then directs the laser pulses to achieve the desired effects. A computerized controller receives a specification of one or more desired effects for one or more targets and calculates a distribution of ultra-short laser pulses as well as the required characteristics for each of the pulses.

A projectile for use in a shooting application is disclosed. In one embodiment, the projectile includes a base. The projectile also includes a body coupled to the base, wherein the body is hollow and is used to contain a payload material tailored for a specific shooting application. The projectile further includes a threaded tip coupled to the body. The threaded tip has a stem and a threaded portion, and is threaded to body to be removably coupled to the body. The threaded tip is made using a tip material tailored for the specific shooting application.

The Electromagnetic Grenade is a destructive device used to disable Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). The Electromagnetic Grenade is a purpose-built shell/round that utilizes an explosively pumped flux compression generator to create an electromagnetic pulse destructive enough to disable or destroy UGVs and similar military equipment which employ electricity as energy for onboard systems. The electromagnetic grenade includes a standard shell casing with primer, a power source, capacitor bank, a solenoid, and a standard fuse. The casing and size of the shell can be changed to suit the weapon system that will employ the Electromagnetic Grenade. The design can be scaled to work with smaller and larger ordinance which will include small arms, artillery shells, bombs, missiles, rockets, sub-munitions, loitering munitions and similar.

This disclosure generally relates to a non-lethal disruption device that is meant to disorient and/or confuse an individual using lights and/or sound. The lights and/or sound are emitted from the non-lethal disruption device at a particular pattern and/or frequency in response to a triggering event.

An electronic device determines target information about a target and recommends a target based on the target information.

A device (800) for protecting an aircraft against missiles, includes a Short-Wave InfraRed based (SWIR-based) Missile Tracking Unit, having a SWIR-based optical imager that associated with an optical SWIR band filter. The device (800) further includes a SWIR signals processor; it analyzes the captured SWIR optical signals; and it performs a SWIR-based missile acquisition process, which is also based on raw angular position data of a missile as received from a Missile Approach Warning System (MAWS); and it performs a SWIR-based missile tracking process, which continuously and dynamically determines a precise angular position of the missile based on the captured SWIR optical signals. The device (800) includes a laser-based missile-jamming unit, having an internal laser emitter; and optionally also being operably associated with an external high-power laser emitter; to disrupt the missile, or to disrupt a guiding station of the missile.

A net for nonlethally incapacitating a human target. The net can have one or more conductive zones and be propelled toward a target. The net can then electrically energize the conductive zone or zones to further incapacitate the target. In this manner a human target can be safely captured and controlled.

A cartridge for a conducted electrical weapon may comprise a body having a first end opposite a second end and an outer surface opposite an inner surface. A projectile may be disposed within the body. The inner surface of the body may define a plurality of grooves extending from the first end of the body to a location within the body.

The present disclosure concerns a method and plasma burst application system for applying a plasma burst to a target object at a target location, the system comprising a terawatt femtosecond pulsed laser for emitting femtosecond laser pulses; a distance obtaining unit configured to obtain a target distance to the target location; and one or more controllers configured to receive the obtained target distance; set one or more laser control parameters of the terawatt femtosecond pulsed laser according to the obtained target distance such that, when a laser pulse is emitted by the terawatt femtosecond pulsed laser, the laser pulse collapses at a selected laser pulse propagation distance substantially equal to the obtained target distance, and control the emission of at least one laser pulse towards the target location such that the laser pulse collapses at substantially the target location in order to apply the plasma burst at the target location.
