Abstract: An apparatus and an associated method for programming a munition loaded in a gun has a body configured for being mechanically coupled to the gun and for being in a haptic contact with a user of the gun. One or more haptic actuators are mechanically coupled to the body for generating vibrations to provide a haptic signal to the user holding the gun. A haptic controller causes the one or more haptic actuators to modulate the vibrations with a munition programming signal comprising munition programming information for the smart munition. The apparatus having a plurality of haptic actuators may be configured to generate, in communication with an external controller, vibration signals haptically indicating to the user holding the gun a direction to a target.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for intercepting a target UAV by releasing a plurality of countermeasure (CM) objects in a projected path thereof to form a 3D countermeasure cloud. Pieces of flexible materials configured to become ensnared in the propellers of the target UAV or otherwise interfere with their ability to provide lift and thrust capabilities to the UAV. A UAV interception control system may track the target UAV and compute a location probability volume therefor using a modified Kalman filter to decide on a projected interception location and time.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing background noise captured by a UAV acoustic sensor are disclosed. The background noise may be reduced by incorporating a known UAV acoustic signature corresponding to a determined flight parameter into an adaptive filter coupled to the acoustic sensor.
