KINETIC ENERGY PERFORATING ROUND AND METHODS OF USE
One example is a kinetic energy perforating round, that includes a body defining an ignition housing entry port and ignition housing that are in communication with each other, and a crown configuration disposed circumferentially about an outside diameter of the body. The crown includes peaks oriented toward a tip of the kinetic energy perforation round. The peaks are disposed in a spaced apart arrangement with respect to each other and are distributed about a circumference of the kinetic energy perforating round.

TRACKABLE AMMUNITION
Disclosed are ammunition and ammunition tracking systems. The ammunition and ammunition tracking system may include a first projectile and a marker. The marker may be associated with the first projectile. The marker may contain a unique signature such that the first projectile may be identifiable from a second projectile.
Generation and application of autonomously-created three-dimensional safety offset bounding surfaces from three-dimensional virtual maps around points of interest
An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store map data. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to segment one or more objects from one or more environment surfaces in the map data. The at least one processor is also configured to determine an offset based on a projectile drift. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a safety bounding box around each of the one or more objects using the offset.
Interlocking expandable air-drop package
A modular air-drop package assembly is provided for delivering an internal payload. The assembly is oriented along axial, radial and angular directions, and includes a front section and a rear section. The front section has a hollow housing open at its rear along the axial direction. The housing has an inner wall that includes a plurality of angularly spaced indentations. Each indentation extends radially into the wall. The rear section has a bulkhead, a sleeve and a corresponding plurality of flanges. The bulkhead closes the housing at the rear. The sleeve extends axially forward from the bulkhead along the axial direction for insertion into the housing. The plurality of flanges extends forward from the bulkhead. Each flange has a radially extending tab that engages with a corresponding indentation of the plurality.
