A cartridge comprising a bullet, the bullet providing a radially expanding array of bullet fragments upon entering a target and also providing an increase in effective surface area of the bullet within the target by structural features that facilitate tumbling or mushrooming in the target. In an embodiment a pair of axial core members are aligned in a bullet jacket with the forward core member being segmented with separation junctures formed by engaged faces of adjacent segments. Impact causing fracturing of the segments from a base portion.

The present invention relates to a projectile having a caliber of less than 13 mm, comprising a bullet jacket defining a cavity and a position transmitter arranged in the cavity.

Remote monitoring of an area with a remote sensing device (100, 200, 300) encased in a rubber ball (302) is provided. A remote sensing device (100, 200, 300) is provided which receives a spoken description of a location of the remote sensing device and stores the spoken description as predetermined location information. The description can be received directly prior to deployment or wirelessly transmitted from another device (400). The remote sensing device can sense information related to its environment via a motion sensor (314), such as whether an intruder is located within a vicinity of the remote sensing device (100, 200, 300). The remote sensing device (100, 200, 300) can then transmit the predetermined location information and the environment information to the another device (400) in response to the sensing. In response to receipt, the other device (400) can render the predetermined location information and the environment information in an audible format.

A projectile (601) for piercing a casing of a mine containing an explosive material, comprising a projectile body having a nose portion (603) and a tail portion (604) and a longitudinal axis, a switch, and electrodes (605, 606) separated such that in use an electrical discharge can flow between them through an explosive material contained within a mine, or to initiate an energetic material comprised between the electrodes to detonate an explosive material contained within a mine. Also provided is a method of mine disposal.
