Patent number: 11994369Abstract: A payload conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may include a housing configured to house at least a plurality of electrodes and a signal generator. The payload CEW may be removably inserted into a bay of a launcher. The launcher may be mounted on a vehicle. The plurality of electrodes may be configured to be launched from the housing. The housing may be configured to be launched from the bay of the launcher simultaneously with or after the plurality of electrodes are launched. The signal generator may be configured to transmit a stimulus signal through the plurality of electrodes. The signal generator may be configured to transmit the stimulus signal before, during, and/or after the housing is launched.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventors: Patrick W. Smith, Magne Nerheim, Brandy Shaffer, Gabriel Othman, Matthew Carver, Brian Slaughter, Brian Fairbanks, Mark Eastwood, Jackson Dewitt, Oleg Nemtyshkin
