A system that creates an environment for using, transmitting, and storing data from a CEW and other equipment. The information from a CEW includes a log maintained by the CEW. The log may include information related to the operation, maintenance, software, and deployment units used by the CEW. The information may be used alone or in combination with other information received and stored by an evidence management system for managing inventory, generating use-of-force reports, incident reports, and/or providing information related to equipment, such as a CEW, to the supplier of the equipment. Sources of information provided to an evidence management system includes equipment suppliers, CEWs, other cooperating equipment, records management systems of an agency, a dispatch system of an agency, and third parties. A CEW or other equipment may also receive information for storing in the log.

A method of manufacturing cartridge cases, wherein the method comprises fabricating a plurality of substantially identically sized and shaped unmarked inventory cases suitable for use in manufacturing a plurality of different caliber cartridges and selecting a number of the plurality of the unmarked inventory cases to be used to manufacturing a selected one of the plurality different caliber cartridges. The method further comprises inscribing, via a laser inscription device, the selected number of unmarked inventory cases to identify at least the selected one of the plurality of different caliber cartridges the selected number of unmarked inventory cases are to be used to manufacture.

An energetic material device is disclosed. The energetic material device can include a casing. The energetic material device can also include an energetic material in a solid state within the casing. In addition, the energetic material device can include an optical sensor encased within the energetic material to sense a condition of the energetic material. An energetic material monitoring system is also disclosed. The energetic material monitoring system can include an energetic material device. The energetic material device can include a casing. The energetic material device can also include an energetic material in a solid state within the casing. In addition, the energetic material device can include an optical sensor encased within the energetic material. The energetic material monitoring system can also include an interrogator in communication with the optical sensor via an optical fiber.

A testing system for testing a missile component having a sense axis includes a centrifuge, a support arm, an orientation assembly, and a controller. The centrifuge rotates the orientation assembly about a vertical axis in a substantially horizontal plane. The orientation assembly includes a first motor, a first gimbal, and a gimballed support. The first motor has a first rotatable shaft defining a first gimbal axis. The first gimbal is coupled with the first rotatable shaft to rotate about the first gimbal axis while the centrifuge rotates the orientation assembly about the vertical axis such that missile component is simultaneously rotated about both the vertical axis and the first gimbal axis to simulate a missile launch of the missile component. The gimballed support is coupled with the first gimbal for supporting the missile component such that the sense axis of the missile component is not parallel to the substantially horizontal plane. The orientation assembly may also include a second gimbal that is rotated about a second gimbals axis by a second motor.
