The present application is directed to a packaging for a powdered explosive-detection training aid which may include first and second opposing flexible sheets heat sealed together along less than a periphery thereof and defining a storage compartment therebetween, wherein an unsealed portion of the periphery defines an opening to the storage compartment, wherein at least a portion of the first opposing flexible sheet is a semipermeable material permeable to a vapor emitted from the powdered explosive-detection training aid, with the second opposing flexible sheet being impermeable to the powdered explosive-detection training aid vapor; and a sealing member, wherein the sealing member is secured to the first opposing flexible sheet and, in a closing position, covers the semipermeable portion of the first opposing flexible sheet.

A bore cleaning device is configured to clean a bore of a firearm. The device includes a cylindrically shaped cleaning pad including a solid, non-hollow core. The device further includes a propellant providing a force to push the cleaning pad down the bore of the firearm and a payload located in a bore-forward position of the cleaning pad. The device can optionally include a lower charge cap situated between the propellant and the cleaning pad.

Provided is a non-pyro cartridge for military training devices. The cartridge has a refillable compressed gas compartment fitted with a refill valve, which allows for quick reuse of the cartridge. The cartridge further has a blast compartment that receive a rush of compressed air from the gas compartment when the cartridge is triggered/detonated. Also provided is an activation device for the cartridge. The cartridge and activation device can generate physical and digital effects on the battlefield that safely and realistically simulate anti-tank weapon signatures, mortar weapon signatures, landmines signatures, improvised explosive device weapon signatures, artillery point of impact signatures, hand grenade signatures, weapon impact signatures on vehicles, weapon impact signatures on buildings, multiple types of battlefield effects, weapon signatures, impact signatures with a single device type.

An impact energy suppression assembly for an inert ammunition cartridge is disclosed wherein the assembly includes a barrel, a piston and a compression resistant device. The barrel has a bottom wall with an opening, at least one generally cylindrical integral sidewall, and an open upper end, and the piston has a head and push rod which extends outwardly from the piston head for connection with the compression resistant device. The piston and compression resistant device are inserted into the assembly barrel which is inserted into the hollow cavity of inert firearm ammunition for use as a training device.

Disclosed is systems and methods of simulating IEDs and munitions with an SUAV. One embodiment is a simulation of an SUAV that is used to directly deliver an TED. Another embodiment is a simulation of an SUAV that delivers IEDs by placing, dropping, or launching them from the SUAV. Additionally, the SUAV may be used to deliver other simulated hazardous devices such biological or chemical weapons, distraction devices or contraband.

Ammunition cartridge including a rigid casing including a tubular sleeve and a base closing an end of the casing, a projectile mounted at another end of the casing, a propellant charge contained inside the casing, and an ignition device. The projectile includes a solid material body having a volume V1 extending between a tip to a trailing end, wherein the projectile further includes a cavity that extends into the body from the trailing end, a volume V2 of the cavity being at least fifteen percent (15%) of a combined volume V1+V2 of the projectile solid material and cavity: V2>0.15?(V1+V2).

A firearm malfunction training device and method include a blank malfunction round that simulates a T3 malfunction and allows a realistic clearing protocol during the training. The malfunction round size and shape generally mimic the corresponding live round, so that malfunction round moves like the live round through the magazine. However, the malfunction round has a front end/portion that is oversized in diameter and does not fit properly or fully through the firearm breech, to jam the firearm loading mechanism at the breech. Preferably, the malfunction round also has a conical rear region radially-undersized relative to the live round casing, whereby the malfunction round leaves the magazine when the magazine is stripped from the firearm to start the clearing protocol. The enlarged front end and undersized rear region effectively simulate, and provide a realistic protocol for identifying, clearing and, correcting, a T3 malfunction.

Haptic feedback system that simulates a detonation or explosive event. The system includes a power supply, an energy storage circuit, a switching circuit, and a conductor operatively connected to said energy storage circuit through said switching circuit whereby said conductor causes a haptic event when said energy storage circuit is electrically connected to said conductor by operation of said switching circuit. The system creates shock waves and pressure waves in a safe manner for use in a simulator.
