APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING DATA FOR CONFIGURING A PNEUMATIC AIR GUN
20230090270 · 2023-03-23 ·

Apparatus for acquiring data for configuring a pneumatic air gun comprises a data storage device and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a required velocity for a firing and determine a pressure of an air reservoir, or a pressure in an air flow path at a position downstream of the air reservoir of the gun. The controller is configured to determine a value of a valve activating parameter for the firing and determine a measured velocity of a projectile fired from the gun using the determined value of the valve activating parameter. The controller is configured to determine whether a difference between the measured velocity and the required velocity is within a required limit. The controller is configured to store the determined pressure and the determined value of the valve activating parameter in the data storage device as mapping data for configuring a future firing of the gun when the difference between the measured velocity and the required velocity is within the required limit.

System and method of providing a cocklebur net in a projectile module

A projectile component that can be removably attached to a flying vehicle is disclosed. The projectile component includes a net configured in the projectile component, a receiving cavity configured in the projectile component, and a weight attached to the net via a string. The weight can be configured in the receiving cavity in preparation for firing the net from the projectile component. In order to entangle a target flying vehicle in the net, a cocklebur associated with the weight is included. Upon firing the net from the projectile component, and upon the net engaging with a target device, the cocklebur becomes entangled with the net to secure the target flying vehicle. A drawstring structure associated with the net can also be used to ensure that the net envelops and captures the target flying vehicle.
