  • Publication number: 20100107859
    Abstract: A method and apparatus triggers motion triggered improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a distance outside the device's zone of destruction. IEDs having infrared motion detection trigger mechanisms are detonated by passing remotely generated laser beams over the area within which the IED is located. The moving reflected background scattering of light from the passing laser beams as well as possible direct passing laser illumination of the IED infrared motion detector activate the IED trigger mechanism, causing the IED to detonate. Operation of the invention is remote from the destruction zone of the IED, thereby preserving personnel and materiel.

  • Publication number: 20090284961
    Abstract: An apparatus produces a “dazzling” effect: disorientation and temporary and fully reversible blindness in subjects for the purpose of threat deterrence in both civilian law enforcement and military engagements without the use of lasers. The apparatus is comprised of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) capable of intense illumination. Light emitted by each LED is further pulsed and focused by reflective optics to produce a pulsed beam of sufficient intensity that the combined effect of the beams from the LEDs induces dazzling in subject viewers in the target range. Further included in or ancillary to the invention are a power source for powering the LEDs and a signal source and controller for controlling their illumination and pulsing. Embodiments of the invention include riot shield, hand held and vehicle-mounted dazzlers.
