A rescue system includes a wearable article, such as a wristband, which includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, a radio frequency (RF) beacon, and a power supply. One or more RFID readers (collectively, an RF network) are located on a vessel, the RFID readers being configured to communicate with the RFID tag. Should the RF network detect a passenger overboard event, a modular rocket system is deployed. The modular rocket system comprises a guidance module, the guidance module including a guidance system for guiding the modular rocket system toward a target. A flight control module is removably attached to the guidance module, said flight control module including a plurality of airfoils. A flotation module is removably attached to the flight control module, said flotation module including a flotation device. A rocket motor module removably attached to the flotation module, said rocket motor module including a rocket motor configured to propel the modular rocket system.

An archery projectile locating facility comprises an elongated body. The elongated body includes a connection facility adapted to connect to the archery projectile. The elongated body includes a microcontroller. The elongated body includes a sensor facility in communication with the microcontroller and operable to detect a flight state. The elongated body includes a transmitter in communication with the microcontroller and operable to broadcast at least one data signal after the flight state has been detected. The at least one data signal includes information generated by the sensor facility.

An effector health monitor system is configured for coupling with an energetic component. The effector health monitor system includes a characteristic sensor suite including at least first and second characteristic sensors. The first characteristic sensor is proximate to the energetic component and configured to measure a failure characteristic of the energetic component. The second characteristic sensor is configured to measure at least one environmental characteristic proximate to the energetic component. A communication hub is coupled with the first and second characteristic sensors, and is configured to communicate the measured failure and environmental characteristics outside of an effector body. A failure identification module compares the measured failure characteristic with a failure threshold and identifies a failure event. A failure model generation module logs the at least one measured environmental characteristic preceding the identified failure event with the identified failure event and generates a failure model including updating the failure model.

The present disclosure describes a signal relay node that is physically displaceable by a delivery system to move the signal relay node to a different location, to enable the signal relay node to overcome physical obstructions to signal propagation. A delivery system, such as a launching system, can launch the signal relay node encased within a housing unit, such as a projectile cap. Upon launch into the air, an additional aloft package may provide an aerostat, parachute, and/or a propeller and motor system to keep the signal relay node aloft in the air for a longer period of time.

An archery projectile facility comprises an elongated body. The elongated body includes at least one accelerometer. The at least one accelerometer is operable to generate three-dimensional acceleration information. The archery projectile facility comprises a body processor. The body processor is operably connected to the at least one accelerometer. The body processor is adapted to process the three-dimensional acceleration information to generate sampled information. The archery projectile facility comprises a transmitter. The transmitter is operably connected to the body processor to broadcast the sampled information. The archery projectile facility comprises a receiver. The receiver includes a receiver processor. The receiver processor is adapted to generate resulting information based on the sampled information. The resulting information is based on a determination of a stabilization point.

The forward firing fragmentation (FFF) munition includes a body, a flight system carried by the body and configured to maneuver the munition in flight, and a warhead carried by the body and including an explosive configured to detonate and expel fragments in a pattern. A near field barrier (near field barrier), such as the guidance system, is carried by the body in front of the warhead and communicatively coupled via a communication link to the flight system. A fragmentation adjustment system is configured to physically displace the near field barrier relative to the warhead while maintaining the communication link between the near field barrier and the flight system until detonation of the explosive.
