The present invention provides an electronic flashbang device including solid state electronics to produce and control sound and light emissions. The device comprises a housing disposed with at least twelve high intensity LEDs at an exterior surface. The housing further includes at least two high decibel sirens. The device further includes a rechargeable batteries to feed power to the LEDs and sirens. A safety switch is incorporated at the outer surface of the housing to activate the electronic flashbang device. On operation of the device, the LEDs are configured to generate brighter light emission and the sirens are configured to emit an intensely loud noise pulse, thereby disables the target for a short period of time allowing safer entry without any fire, soft tissue injury to the target, user or infrastructure.

Method and apparatus for overexposing images captured by drones
10690457 · 2020-06-23 · ·

A device for nullifying images captured by drones utilizing a high power light to overexpose said images. One or more cameras installed in the device capture images of the area surrounding the device. Computer vision and deep learning are utilized to identify drones in the captured images. If a drone is identified, the location thereof is estimated. A high power light installed in the device is directed at the estimated location of the drone to overexpose any images that are being taken of the area around the device by the drone.

A system for neutralizing target aerial vehicles comprises a projectile launching mechanism that launches a projectile that supports a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having an aerial vehicle countermeasure. The counter-attack UAV can be folded in the projectile, and operable to unfold when separated from the projectile. The system comprises an aerial vehicle detection system comprising a detection sensor that detects a target aerial vehicle. Upon detection, the projectile launching mechanisms launches the projectile, and the counter-attack UAV is thereafter separated from the projectile to operate in flight to neutralize the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle countermeasure. The projectile launching mechanism can comprise a movable platform comprising a plurality of projectiles and counter-attack UAVs, and can comprise a detection sensor to detect target aerial vehicles.

LIGHTING CONTROL

A method of controlling at least one light source to discourage unwanted behavior at a spectator event comprising a plurality of spectator areas, the method comprising: detecting, based on sensor input received from a sensor at the spectator event, at least one spectator exhibiting unwanted behavior within a first one of the spectator areas; determining a location of the first spectator area; identifying a second one of the spectator areas as being a target of the unwanted behavior and determining a location of the second spectator area; and controlling at least one light source based on the determined locations to increase an amount of glare along at least one line of sight between the first and second spectator areas and thereby discourage the spectator from looking towards the second spectator area to discourage the unwanted behavior.
