Acoustic apparatus and operation
A portable acoustic warning device which projects a specific acoustic waveform towards a target, creating a narrow beam of sound that is highly selective, minimizing exposure to users and bystanders, while enabling a controlled dosage of sound to be applied to the target. The design of the device is tailored to this waveform thus achieving a very high degree of directivity. It is not intended for communicating verbal messages. This waveform achieves maximum intensity at the target while using a relatively low sound pressure level; meaning that the exposure levels can be controlled to ensure they are within existing health and safety legislation. A laser range finder limits the sound level at the target to a pre-determined level. An integrated camera is used to aid aiming. Video footage is recorded with use; along with the sound level at the target, exposure duration, time, date and GPS coordinates.
Neutralization of a target with an acoustic wave
An embodiment of an apparatus includes a transducer array and a controller that is operable to cause the transducer array to generate a signal having a frequency, and to direct the signal toward an object having a resonant frequency that is approximately equal to the frequency of the signal. For example, an embodiment of a mine-hunting-and-neutralizing apparatus may generate an acoustic wave with a transducer array, and may disable or destroy a mine by directing the wave toward the mine. The apparatus generates the acoustic wave having a frequency that is approximately equal to the natural frequency of a component of the mine such that the wave causes the component to resonate in a manner that is sufficient to disable the mine from detonating, or that is sufficient to cause the mine to detonate. For example, if the component is the detonator, then the wave causes the detonator to resonate at an energy level that is sufficient to render the detonator unable to detonate the mine, or that is sufficient to cause the detonator to detonate the mine.
Haptic feedback device for simulator
Haptic feedback system that simulates a detonation or explosive event. The system includes a power supply, an energy storage circuit, a switching circuit, and a conductor operatively connected to said energy storage circuit through said switching circuit whereby said conductor causes a haptic event when said energy storage circuit is electrically connected to said conductor by operation of said switching circuit. The system creates real explosions, shock waves and pressure waves in a safe manner for use in a simulator.
Remote controlled non-lethal weapon station
A Remote Controlled Weapon Station is provided wherein it comprises a weapon mounting bracket that is remotely adjustable in elevating/lowering and a rotatable turret assembly adapted to be mounted on vehicles, remotely adjustable in rotation, and wherein the weapon mounting bracket is pivotally mounted on it, and the Remote Controlled Weapon Station is converted into a remote controlled Non Lethal weapon station by that at least one non lethal means is installed in it, chosen from a group consisting ofa multi barreled means for firing grenades; multi-barrels launcher means for pyrotechnically firing plurality of charges; acoustic means for producing tones; illuminating means; observation means and means for providing sniper firing capabilities of small caliber kinetic bullet.
Multiple adversary suppression system (MASS)
The Multiple Adversary Suppression System (MASS) is an integrated, digitally controlled nonlethal weapon system designed to disable unshielded humans and interfere with susceptible materiel. MASS emits photic and audio stimulation at intensities designed to cause distress. MASS shields its users from direct photic and analog audio stimulation, instead processing that data digitally and filtering out the disruptive stimuli MASS emits. The physical components of MASS consist of a computer controlled headset with digital visual and audio processing equipment, and a computer controlled emission rig with high intensity photic and audio emission equipment.

SELF-DEFENSE SYSTEM
In an embodiment, a self-defense system is disclosed. The self-defense system may include or comprise a material sized to conform to an appendage, and a defense unit coupled with the material and positioned to initiate a defense event in response to an input.
DRONE MITIGATION METHODS AND APPARATUS
Systems and methods for drone mitigation, or the deterrence of aerial drones from flying in an given area, are described. The systems and methods take advantage of the fact that destabilization of a drone can be accomplished by externally changing the performance of one or more of its propeller driven systems. In doing so, the drone is incapable of maintaining stability in flight, thereby causing the remote controlled pilot to force a retreat, or risk and result in a crash of the drone. Embodiments utilizing sonic energy and liquids are described.
Methods devices apparatus assemblies and systems for generating and directing sound pressure waves
Disclosed are methods, devices, apparatus, assemblies and systems for generating and directing acoustic energy (e.g. sound). According to some embodiments, there may be provided a cyclical acoustic apparatus or generator comprising a cyclical combustions chamber adapted to cyclically generate acoustic energy. There may be provided an acoustic energy collection and guiding assembly adapted to channel sounds energy generated by said cyclical combustion chamber to an aiming and release apparatus, which aiming and release apparatus directs the acoustic energy towards a target zone.
System for non-lethal defense and crowd control in public and private spaces
A non-lethal electronic defense device comprising one or more effects such as light, sonic, ultrasonic, infrasonic, chemical, electrical, or mechanical devices capable of causing intense sensations of disorientation, distress, incapacitation, and/or pain for the purpose of protecting a public or private space from an intruder or attacker exhibiting an intent to cause harm to physical inhabitants or destruction of property therein.
