  • Patent number: 12169117
    Abstract: A system and method that uses one or more jet engines to remove unmanned aircraft from restricted airspace. Generally, the force created by a jet engine can be used to remove drones or other unwanted objects from the restricted airspace. Once the system determines the presence of an unauthorized aircraft or object within the restricted airspace, the jet engine(s) can be activated and used to pull the drone or flying object towards the jet engine though the force created by the intake of the jet engine(s), or to expel the drone or object from the restricted area through the force created by the exhaust of the jet engine(s).

  • Patent number: 12158329
    Abstract: A ballistically enhanced projectile 360, 460 includes a body having a distal ogive section with external ballistic effect uniforming surface discontinuity (e.g., nose ring groove 369, 469) defined therein to provide an unsupported gap in the ogive profile which affects the flow of air over the front half of the ogive to provide greater aerodynamic uniformity and shot-to-shot consistency with more uniform observed external ballistics and superior terminal ballistics. The bullet's external surface discontinuity feature (369 or 469) creates effects in the flowfield that dominate any dynamic effects from bullet-to-bullet manufacturing inconsistency and resultant differences in dynamic behavior.

  • Patent number: 12152855
    Abstract: A device for quickly replacing the magazine of a handheld automatic small arm having a bullpup configuration relates to military equipment and is intended to maximally reduce the time for replacing a spent magazine and to increase the amount of ammunition that can be carried. Once a Magazine is spent, the bolt comes to rest on a bolt stop. In an embodiment involving a bolt stop the shooter removes the active magazine using a control key. Upon return the control key releases a pivoting tray that is held by a latch spring and the pivoting tray moves into a bottom position. The shooter takes hold of the part of a spare magazine which protrudes from the butt and moves the spare magazine into a magazine opening. The bolt stop releases the bolt, which under the effect of a bolt spring advances grips a round from the active magazine and rams it into the chamber. Firing can be continued immediately.
