AUTOMATED DETONATION OF FIREWORKS
A fireworks kit can have a set of fireworks having multiple fireworks of different types and a plurality of detonators in communication with the fireworks that are configured to launch or detonate a firework attached thereto. A remote controller or mobile device can be in communication with the detonators and operable to provide dynamic or user customizable control of detonation, launching, or ignition of the fireworks.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING THE AIM OF A WEAPON STATION, FIRING A POINT-DETONATING OR AN AIR-BURST PROJECTILE
The method and apparatus for a remote weapon station or incorporated into manually-aimed weapons. The methodology requires use of a muzzle velocity sensor that refines the aiming of the second and subsequent fires or volleys fired from weapon systems. When firing the first volley a weapon uses an estimated velocity and, at firing, the muzzle velocity of a projectile is measured. When firing the second volley a weapon's fire control calculates an aiming point using the measured velocity of the first volley.
INTERFACE BRIDGE FOR INITIALIZING A WEAPON WITH MISSION PLANNING DATA
A military standard-1760 (MIL-STD-1760) interface bridge for storing mission planning data can include a housing, a translator device, a ground support equipment (GSE) connector, and non-volatile memory. The housing can include a MIL-STD-1760 connector on a first end and a weapon side connector on a second end. The translator device can translate a MIL-STD-1553 remote terminal (RT) protocol to a weapon side signaling protocol and translate the weapon side signaling protocol to the MIL-STD-1553 RT protocol. The GSE connector can be coupled to the housing and translator device for downloading mission planning data for a weapon. The non-volatile memory can be configured to store the mission planning data.
