A conducted electrical weapon may deploy a single electrode. The single electrode may be deployed in response to a first activation signal of a sequence of activation signals. The conducted electrical weapon may deploy a second electrode in response to a second activation signal of the sequence of activation signals. A signal generator of the conducted electrical weapon may provide a stimulus signal between the single electrode and the second electrode. Deploying the single electrode may include deploying fewer electrodes than a minimum number required by the conducted electrical weapon to provide the stimulus signal at a remote location.

A system for a practice electrode (e.g. dart) for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”). An officer issued a CEW is required to practice with the CEW in order to maximize its safe and effective use in a stressful situation. Preferably, training is performed using equipment as similar as possible to the equipment an officer uses in the field. Training with a CEW against a live target may be improved, at least from the perspective of the target, by using a practice dart that is similar in weight and flight to a conventional electrode, but that does not pierce target clothing or tissue or deliver a high voltage current through the target. A practice dart may be similar to a conventional electrode but include additional structure (e.g. cap) that prevents piercing. The additional structure and/or a non-conductive filament may reduce a likelihood of or preclude delivery a current through the target.

A system for generating an optical beam array includes a laser light source capable of generating a primary beam of light. An array generating optical element is capable of receiving the primary beam of light and splitting the primary beam of light into a beam array. The beam array can include at least two distinct pattern beams that divergently extend from the array generating optical element at a non-zero angle relative to one another. A void region is formed between the at least two pattern beams, the void region being devoid of any portion of the primary beam.

A localized laser-based interceptor for kites balloons and UAVs comprises a laser and a large aperture optical beam delivery system with adjustable focal distance and spot size. The spot-size is adjusted for optimal damage performance on plastic targets, as a function of the distance from the target, its velocity across the laser beam spot and where the extent of the danger zone for personnel and equipment is limited by the fast expansion of the illuminating laser beams. The optical design ensures diverging beam to minimize the hazardous range of the system.

A non-lethal dazzling device includes a laser operable in the visible spectrum. The laser can be a relatively low-powered laser, such as a laser having a maximum output power of 2.5 mW, or it can be a higher-powered laser with a drive circuit that lowers the maximum output power to a safe level based on the range of the hostile target from the laser. In certain embodiments, the disclosed non-lethal dazzling device can be coupled to the bridge of a binocular device.

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 de-escalation device has vehicle mount and an elongate arm connected to the vehicle mount. An expandable hook toward the end of the elongate arm is adjustable between a contracted position and an expanded position. The de-escalation device is configured to form a first opening in a wall structure by puncturing the end of the elongate arm through the wall structure while the hook is contracted and subsequently form a second, larger opening by withdrawing the elongate arm while the hook is expanded. The elongate arm can have proximal and distal arm sections that are rotatably adjustable with respect to the vehicle mount and one another. One or more remotely controllable de-escalation tools can be deployed from the end portion of the elongate arm.
