An automated weapons system is comprised of: a sensing subsystem; a munitions subsystem; a targeting subsystem; a computational subsystem; positioning apparatus; and, a firing subsystem. The sensing subsystem provides target data for at least one acquired target, responsive to at least one sensor. The munitions subsystem, provides selection of one from up to a plurality of types of said munitions as available as a selected munition. The targeting subsystem, is responsive to the target data to provide recognition of a type of target, for each said acquired target. The computational subsystem, selects a chosen target from the acquired targets, based on the type of the selected munition. The positioning apparatus adjusts the aim of the selected munition so that it will hit the chosen target. And, the firing subsystem fires the selected munitions through a barrel at the chosen target. In one embodiment, there are a plurality of the sensors, wherein the system acquires target data from at least one of the plurality of the sensors, for at least one target as said acquired target. The targeting subsystem recognizes the type of target responsive to analyzing the target data to provide recognition of each said acquired target.

A human transported weapon system is comprised of an automated targeting subsystem, a sensing subsystem, munitions storage, munitions logic, sensor logic, target logic, and, munitions logic, a decision subsystem, trigger activation logic, aim adjustment logic; and a firing subsystem. The automated targeting subsystem identifies and provides for selection of a selected target in a field of view of the human transported weapon system. The sensing subsystem tracking location of the available targets in the field of view of the human transported weapon system. The munitions storage provides storage of up to a plurality of types of munitions and having at least one of the types of munitions available to select from. The munitions logic determines which of the types of munition is available. The sensor logic gathers target data from sensors, recognizing type of target from analyzing the target data. The target logic chooses a selected target based on the types of munitions available. The munitions logic chooses a selected munition from the types of munitions available based on the selected target. The decision subsystem locates where target is at a firing time responsive to the sensor logic. The trigger activation logic fires the selected munition at a firing time.

A remote weapon station (RWS) system for an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) includes a dedicated weapon, multi-axis gimbal and ammunition handling capabilities with all operations functioning remotely and wirelessly. The RWS system is a gas powered, or self-powered, belt fed, rotating bolt lock weapon. In addition, the RWS is man-portable and air-droppable as the major subsystems may be latched together in the field without tooling or needing to make electrical connections.

The present invention discloses an artificial and intelligent anti-terrorism strike device for stopping ongoing crime, comprising a network heavy-load cradle head, a nonfatal strike weapon mounting box, a high-definition network video camera and computer devices, wherein the adopted network heavy-load intelligent cradle head is well-known and mature technology like adopting the omnidirectional network intelligent heavy duty pan tilt of model HDS3081 to control movements, the nonfatal strike weapon mounting box is made of sheet metal, the inside of the mounting box is provided with fastening frame of the nonfatal strike weapon and trigger levers of magnetic controlled buckle (the adopted nonfatal strike weapons are well-known products such as gun type tear gas riot device of model ZD-A1-64, anesthesia gun of imitation model 54, etc.), the adopted high-definition network video camera is generally known product in the market, the adopted computer system is the commonly known product in the market to cooperate with the public security network, the face intelligent recognition software program and the monitoring platform, and utilizes the transmission system to control network heavy duty pan tilt, so as to realize the remote control over the nonfatal strike weapons, stop and carry out quick and effective strike on terrorist crimes. The present invention changes the status quo of using nonfatal weapons manually, deters and captures the terrorists before the police reach the scene of crime, thereby reducing the casualties and public losses.

An adjustable firearm mount apparatus includes a main support. The main support includes a base end and an adjustment end opposite the base end. A longitudinal axis extends along a length from the base end to the adjustment end. At least one first mounting section is configured to interface with a first portion of a firearm. At least one passageway is defined in the main support and extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. An auxiliary support is slidably connected to the main support nearer the adjustment end than the base end. The auxiliary support includes at least one elongate member received in the passageway and at least one second mounting section configured to interface with a second portion of the firearm.
