TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT SIMULATION (TES) GROUND-BASED AIR DEFENSE PLATFORM

An aerial vehicle is described that is capable of interacting within a TES environment, and capable of acting as a Ground Based Air Defense (GBAD) platform to represent virtually any type of aircraft in the simulation. The aerial vehicle may include sensors for determining its own location and/or orientation, and may further carry a payload of components that can be assembled modularly to equipped the aerial vehicle with different types of functionality. Such functionality can include enabling the aerial vehicle to gather information regarding its surroundings, engage with other military entities within the TES environment, and/or enable other military entities within the TES environment to engage with it.

METHOD FOR PROTECTING AN OBJECT FROM A RADAR-GUIDED MISSILE
20240125581 · 2024-04-18 ·

The invention relates to a method for protecting an object, in particular a land vehicle or watercraft, in particular a ship, from of a radar-guided missile by deploying and using an active offboard reflector, which is arranged at a decoy and comprises at least one receiving antenna and at least one transmitting antenna, wherein a radar signal transmitted by the radar-guided missile is picked up and is returned to the missile as an amplified signal in the previously ascertained opposite direction of reception; the invention proposes carrying out the method by deploying a plurality of flying drones, each having at least one active offboard reflector, and positioning the drones relative to one another in space in such a way that the active offboard reflectors thereof act as individual scattering centers and the signals therefrom that are returned to the missile collectively produce a radar scatter pattern that simulates the object to be protected.

Target for skeet shooting
10401132 · 2019-09-03 ·

A target for skeet shooting which comprises a hub associated with a rotor that has at least two blades. The hub is associated with an elastic membrane, which in turn is associated with a valve and is designed to be inflated, in order to obtain a substantially spherical surface, before launching the target. Each blade extends longitudinally in a substantially crescent shape and has a geometric keying angle that is variable as a function of the rotation speed of the rotor about its own axis.
