The present invention relates to projectiles and munitions, and more specifically to such in flight. More particularly the present invention relates to projectiles and munitions in flight equipped with one or more image sensors adapted for acquiring image data of the environment surrounding the projection or munition in flight. The present invention further relates to systems and methods for correcting or stabilizing motion effects and artifacts present in the image data related to the movement or motion of the projectile or munition in flight, including spin or rotation of the projectile or munition.

A device for unmanned aerial vehicle to deploy a rainfall catalytic bomb deploy which comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle, a cannonball for artificial precipitation and a cylinder, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle is connected with the cannonball for artificial precipitation through a soft lock, the cannonball for artificial precipitation are multiple and are wrapped in the cylinder, a second sensor is arranged in the cylinder wing surfaces are arranged on the other side of the cylinder, the wing surfaces are multiple and are arranged at one end of the cylinder in the long shaft direction, and one end of the soft lock is connected to the other end of the cylinder in the long shaft direction.

An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store map data. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to segment one or more objects from one or more environment surfaces in the map data. The at least one processor is also configured to determine an offset based on a projectile drift. The at least one processor is further configured to generate a safety bounding box around each of the one or more objects using the offset.

A missile including an upper stage and at least one lower stage is provided. The upper stage includes a primary flight computer configured to control a flight of the upper stage along a missile flight path such that, for example, it reaches a predetermined target. The lower stage is mounted to the upper stage and includes a propellant for initially propelling the upper stage along the missile flight path. The lower stage is configured to be jettisoned from the upper stage when the propellant is spent. The lower stage includes a secondary flight computer configured to receive data from the primary flight computer prior to the propellant of the lower stage being spent, and to control a flight of the lower stage along a jettisoned stage flight path of the jettisoned lower stage such that, for example, the jettisoned lower stage glides to a predetermined safe landing zone

A system for bistatic radar target detection employs an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a radar antenna for bistatic reception of reflected radar pulses. The UAV operates with a flight profile in contested airspace. A tactical fighter aircraft having a radar transmitter for transmitting radar pulses operates with a flight profile in uncontested airspace. A communications data link operably interconnects the UAV and the tactical fighter aircraft, the communications data link transmitting data produced by the bistatic reception of reflected radar pulses in the UAV radar antenna to the fighter aircraft.

An extended range, enhanced lethality 40 mm ammunition round. The round features controlled guidance and camera front end, which can be fired as fin stabilized with no appreciable spin, from an M320 grenade launcher. The round has a launching sleeve with an oversized propellant cup, to essentially double or triple conventional range, with sharp accuracy provided by the guidance system.

The invention relates to a launched aerial surveillance vehicle, more specifically to a grenade or under-slung grenade launcher (UGL) aerial surveillance vehicle, a surveillance system and methods of providing rapid aerial surveillance. The vehicle once deployed is capable of autonomous flight paths, with basic inputs to change the circular flight paths, so as to build up surveillance for an area of interest. The vehicle comprises at least one optical sensor, which may be IR or visible range, to survey the area of interest, and feed the images back to at least one remote user.
