40 mm extended range high performance projectile with rocket and guidance navigation control capability and decoupling device
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.
Cartridge for military training device, activation device for cartridge, cartridge kit, and related methods
Provided is a non-pyro cartridge for military training devices. The cartridge has a refillable compressed gas compartment fitted with a refill valve, which allows for quick reuse of the cartridge. The cartridge further has a blast compartment that receive a rush of compressed air from the gas compartment when the cartridge is triggered/detonated. Also provided is an activation device for the cartridge. The cartridge and activation device can generate physical and digital effects on the battlefield that safely and realistically simulate anti-tank weapon signatures, mortar weapon signatures, landmines signatures, improvised explosive device weapon signatures, artillery point of impact signatures, hand grenade signatures, weapon impact signatures on vehicles, weapon impact signatures on buildings, multiple types of battlefield effects, weapon signatures, impact signatures with a single device type.
ELECTRONIC STUN GRENADE
An electronic stun grenade (10) comprising a casing (11) and a means for generating light (13), wherein the means for generating light (13) is mounted onto an exterior surface of the casing (11). This allows the interior volume defined by the casing (11) to be more effectively used for containing a means for powering the means for generating light (13). Particularly suited to applications requiring compact stun grenades, such as man portable or weapon launched devices.
Simulated training ammunition automatic launching system
The invention provides an automatic launching system for simulated training ammunition. It can mimic the effect of explosive detonation in close quarters battles without causing any casualties, and can ignite the fuze and launch the simulated training ammunition without gunpowder involved. The technical solution of the invention is that: the automatic launching system for simulated training ammunition comprises a launcher, a controller and a simulated training ammunition loaded inside the launcher. The Simulated training ammunition comprises an outer shell, a core and a fuze structure at the bottom of the simulated training ammunition. The piston cylinder of the launcher comprises vents in the cylinder sidewall for communicating the cylinder cavity with the launcher cavity. The lower part of the cylinder is connected to a high-pressure gas holder through a pipeline and a normally closed solenoid valve. This invention can automatically identify the target and ignite the fuze and launch the simulated training ammunition after identifying the target, and mimic explosion effects. It uses no gunpowder, thus has no potential safety risks, and is safe, reliable, easy to operate, simple in structure, and suitable for civil production and manufacturing.

Instrumented training mortar system
A weapon training system including a magnetic sensor system is described. The magnetic sensor system is insertable into or integrated with a round of an indirect firing weapon and includes at least one magnetic sensor and a microcontroller communicatively coupled to the at least one magnetic sensor. The microcontroller is configured to perform operations including receiving at least one proximity signal from the at least one magnetic sensor indicating a proximity of at least one magnet of at least one charge to the at least one magnetic sensor, determining, based on the at least one proximity signal, that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, generating an output signal indicating that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, and wirelessly transmitting the output signal to an electronic device.
