When Law Enforcement and Military teams are entering a premises or hostile environment, they often use a distraction device to create temporary confusion and disorientation of target individuals. Conventional flash-bangs carry significant risk of collateral damage through fire, smoke inhalation, high temperature burns and fragmentation. The invention proposes a modular, reloadable, non-lethal solution offering various form factors. They significantly reduce/eliminate collateral damage. The devices utilise the same principle—single or multiple machined port(s), plus pyrotechnic ignitor. Gas pressure expanding inside each port ruptures a membrane. The release of this pressure creates a sound impulse. For GMOE (Glass method of Entry) Hand-held, Wired & RF initiated devices, gas pressure created by the ignitor functioning drives a captive hardened steel punch forward. The punch ruptures a membrane on the front face of the device breaking any glass it is in contact with.

A rechargeable flashlight configured to communicate via a wireless network, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the rechargeable flashlight includes a light emitter configured to generate light outputted by the flashlight and an imaging device configured to capture environmental data from an area exposed to the output light. The flashlight can also include a cylindrical handheld main body that includes one or more functionally distinct modules configured to be detachably coupled together to provide coordinated operation. The flashlight can also include at least one user-controlled switch operable to control operation of one or more of the interchangeable cylindrical modules.

This disclosure generally relates to a non-lethal disruption device that is meant to disorient and/or confuse an individual using lights and/or sound. The lights and/or sound are emitted from the non-lethal disruption device at a particular pattern and/or frequency in response to a triggering event.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a method to augment pilot control of a drone, the method including receiving a planned flight route. Embodiments may also include receiving sensor information from an at least one environment sensor along the planned flight route. In some embodiments, the at least one environment sensor may be located at a predefined location. Embodiments may also include estimating a drone location from the sensor information. Embodiments may also include receiving a speed vector of the drone. Embodiments may also include comparing the drone location to an expected drone location along the planned flight route. Embodiments may also include deriving a flight control command and a speed vector command to return the drone to a point along the planned flight route.

A modular surrogate can include: a body having an external body surface with an anatomical shape, wherein the body includes an internal chamber with at least one port formed in the body extending inwardly; at least one anatomical module having an external module portion and a module stem coupled thereto, the module stem being received into a corresponding module port of the at least one port, the external module portion having an external module surface with an anatomical shape, the external body surface matches with the external module surface to provide a continuous anatomical shape; at least one sensor located in the at least one anatomical module; and at least one controller, wherein when the at least one anatomical module is coupled with the body, the at least one sensor is capable of being operably coupled with the at least one controller.

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 shock waves and pressure waves in a safe manner for use in a simulator.

Methods and systems are provided for responding to an attacker including a shooter who opens fire at a site where people are gathered, including identifying, neutralizing, and restraining the attacker. A system may include a central control unit configured to perform a series of steps including: receiving an image including the origin of the gunfire and responsively acquiring identifying features of a shooter associated with the gunfire; subsequently tracking a current location of the shooter according to the identifying features; releasing an autonomous, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to engage the shooter; guiding the flight of the UAV towards the current location of the shooter; and neutralizing the shooter by operating a shooter incapacitating mechanism of the UAV.

A hand-held exercise weight system has integral self protective features within each weight system. Each weight system has an activation button located near the user's thumb. One (1) weight system is equipped with a loud audible alarm to signal for help in times of duress. The other weight system is equipped with an ultrasonic dog repellent system, which deters any possible attacking canines. Each weight system is provided with a user replaceable battery, and is self-contained and waterproof. Each weight system has a weighted body that is detachable from the system.

A self-defense system includes a first sleeve retainably securing a deterrent item. A second sleeve is laterally coupled to the first sleeve and houses a knife. The knife has a handle and a tip. A closed portion of the second sleeve houses the knife handle. An open portion of the second sleeve flexibly covers the knife tip. A hand strap is laterally adjacent to the second sleeve and coupled to at least one of: the first sleeve and the second sleeve. The hand strap is sized and shaped to secure the self-defense system about a hand of a user.

The invention relates to an electronic ignition unit fora stun grenade, comprising at least one energy source, at least one igniter, at least one control device, wherein the electronic ignition device further comprises an igniter driver connected to the at least one energy source and to the at least one control device.
