A tactical torso tool carrier and networked control and communication system is disclosed, wherein a tactical torso tool carrier device includes a main unit configured to be worn on the torso of a person, the main unit including a housing having a docking station configured to securely attach a removable tool module, wherein the tactical torso tool carrier device facilitates communications between personnel and systems operably associated with the tactical toro tool carrier and networked control and communication system.

The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatus for firearm safety mechanisms, visual safety indicators, and related techniques. A firearm includes a handle comprising one or more buttons disposed at least partially within a surface of the handle, such that the one or more buttons can be in contact with an operator's hand when the operator grasps the handle; a safety mechanism in mechanical communication with the trigger. The safety mechanism comprises: a first position that blocks actuation of the trigger; and a second position that does not block actuation of the trigger; and at least one processor configured to: upon determining an input code matches a stored code, transmits a signal to the safety mechanism to change the safety mechanism from the first position to the second position so that the firearm can be fired by the operator.

Systems and methods are provided for combining video and virtual reality presentations, including a server device running application software that receives sensor signals at a connection point from a plurality of assets within a deployment location and processes the signals to generate a virtual reality depiction of the deployment location, and a graphic user interface presenting a field of view of the virtual reality depiction of the deployment location, where the virtual reality depiction is combined with video derived from the deployment location in the graphic user interface presentation.

A portable camera may be activated in response to the activity of a firearm. Furthermore, an individual who discharged a firearm may be identified. Furthermore, information related to the firing of a firearm may be recorded, assessed, identified and transmitted. Furthermore, the status of an implement at a mount may be monitored. Furthermore, a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm may be used. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, optionally by means of intermediary devices. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, optionally by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm has been removed from a holster, is in motion, or is being discharged, the telematics sensor may signal the video camera to initiate recording.

A weapon assembly includes a weapon; a weapon holster configured to receive and support at least a portion of the weapon; and a controller that includes a biometric sensor and a weapon activation sensor. The controller perform operations including transmitting a signal generated by the weapon activation sensor that is indicative of at least one of a release of the portion of the weapon from the weapon holster or a discharge of the weapon; and transmitting a signal generated by the biometric sensor indicative of a biometric state of a user of the weapon subsequent to the release of the portion of the weapon from the weapon holster or the discharge of the weapon. The signal generated by the biometric sensor is processable by a control system to generate a biometric feedback to determine a predictive diagnosis for the user.

An electronic locking system is operable to prevent a firearm from firing. The firearm includes an operating mechanism. The electronic locking system includes a power source configured to store electrical energy used to operate the electronic locking system; and a power generation element configured to generate electrical energy as a result of an operation of the operating mechanism, wherein at least a portion of the electrical energy generated by the power generation element is received by the power source.

The present invention generally relates to an attachment for a firearm that communicates with remote device or person such as emergency services. One embodiment of the present invention is selectively interconnected to a picatinny rail, weaver rail, or other mounting means, and the embodiment includes a button that allows a user to initiate communication with emergency services without removing his or her hands from the firearm.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a firearm lock configured to release a self-hardening interlock fluid into a firing chamber of a firearm in response to a predetermined force. In an illustrative example, the firearm lock may include an engagement module configured to releasably couple to a firing chamber of the firearm. In a locked mode, for example, the engagement module may prevent the firearm from firing. The firearm lock may include, for example, a tamper interlock module containing interlock material (IM) in a fluid state. When a predetermined force is applied to the tamper interlock module, for example, the IM may be dispensed from the cavity into the firing chamber and the IM may at least partially transition into a solid state such that the IM prevents the firearm from firing. Various embodiments may advantageously disable a locked firearm in response to tampering with the lock.

Systems and methods are provided for monitoring geolocations of a plurality of weapons within a deployment location, where each of the weapons includes one or more sensors that produce more or more signals, including a response infrastructure configured for management of the weapons, a server device running application software that uses the one or more signals received from each of the weapons to detect a geolocation of a weapon and causes the response infrastructure to determine if the detected geolocation of the weapon conforms to the stored rule regarding the permitted weapon geolocation, and a threat detection and analysis module that performs an action based on a confirmation that the detected geolocation of the weapon does not conform to the stored rule regarding the permitted weapon geolocation.

A firearm locking system that can lock a trigger by remote activation by an authorized user using a trigger lock that can block a trigger of a firearm from being pulled sufficiently to fire the firearm, The trigger lock can be advanced forward into the locked configuration and retracted into an unlocked configuration with the use of an actuator, such as a motor, Tamper-resistant features can be employed to prevent unauthorized users from disabling the firearm locking system. For example, when the trigger lock blocks the trigger, the trigger lock can also lock the upper receiver from being removed preventing access to the firearm locking system from the top of the firearm. The actuator or can be detachably connected to the trigger lock such that when the grip is removed, the actuator disconnects from the trigger lock causing the trigger lock to enter a jammed configuration.
