Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) deploys wire-tethered electrodes after generation of an ignition signal. The ignition signal is provided to a deployment unit. The deployment unit includes a primer material adjacent a conductor. The conductor conducts the ignition signal outside the primer material. A temperature of the conductor increases in response to receiving the ignition signal. The primer material ignites in response to the increase in temperature of the conductor.

Abstract: A propulsion system for a projectile launcher may comprise a propulsion source, the propulsion source having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a propulsion source wall. A puncture structure having a fluid channel may be located proximate to the first end. A puncher may be located proximate to the second end and configured to translate the propulsion source from a first position to a second position. Translation of the propulsions source from the first position to the second position may fluidly connect the fluid channel and the propulsion source. The projectile launcher may be activated upon the propulsion source being fluidly connected to the fluid channel.

Abstract: A bumper for preventing a forward portion of an electrode from penetrating a target comprises a rearward portion and an expandable portion. The rearward portion is configured to couple the bumper to a forward portion of an electrode. The expandable portion may comprise a plurality of members. The expandable portion is configured to transition from a collapsed state to an expanded state after being launched toward a target. The expanded state comprises a greater contact area than the contact area of the collapsed state. The greater contact area of the expanded state is configured to distribute a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target. The transition from the collapsed state to the expanded state may be configured to increase a duration of impact with the target, thereby reducing a force of impact on the target to prevent penetration into the target.

Abstract: A conducted electrical weapon may interchangeably receive a plurality of magazines. A magazine may be releasably engaged with a magazine bay of the conducted electrical weapon. Engagement of a magazine with the magazine bay may expose a bottom surface of the magazine. Each magazine may comprise a plurality of firing tubes. A magazine may be configured to launch at least one electrode from at least one firing tube of the plurality of firing tubes. A control circuit may be configured to provide an ignition signal to less than all of the plurality of firing tubes. A first pair of firing tubes may be oriented to achieve a minimum electrode spread at a first range. A second pair of firing tubes may be oriented to achieve a minimum electrode spread at a second range. The plurality of firing tubes may be arranged in an array comprising a column of firing tubes.
