    摘要: A ground-fixable electronic detonation device for a blasting system and a blasting system using same are proposed. The ground-fixable electronic detonation device includes: an electronic detonator; a wireless communication module; a wire part configured to connect the electronic detonator and the wireless communication module; and a module fixing pin part positioned in the wireless communication module and configured to move upward and downward to be driven into the ground. In the ground-fixable electronic detonation device, the module fixing pin part is driven into the ground to stably fix a position of the wireless communication module, so that stability in wireless communication is secured. Accordingly, blasting accuracy may be improved.

    摘要: A nonlethal projectile includes a payload for immobilizing and/or identifying a target. The projectile is capable of separating or otherwise opening after launch by a launcher to release the payload prior to impact with a target. The launcher is capable of initiating separation of the projectile. Opening may also be accomplished by a control circuit with a radio-frequency identification (RFID), where an RFID tag in the projectile causes the projectile to open at a specified distance from the launcher. The launcher may include a trigger and/or a safety switch to prevent the projectile from becoming armed until a certain parameter is met. A magazine or breech assembly of the launcher may energize the projectile prior to launch of the projectile.

    摘要: An ordnance for air-borne delivery to a target under remotely controlled in-flight navigation. In one embodiment, self-powered aerial ordnance includes upper and lower cases. A plurality of co-axial, deployable blades is powered by a motor positioned in the upper case. When deployed, the blades are rotatable about the upper case to impart thrust and bring the vehicle to a first altitude above a target position. An explosive material and a camera are positioned in a lower case which is attached to the upper case. The camera generates a view along the ground plane and above the target when the ordinance is in flight. When the vehicle is deployed it is remotely controllable to deliver the vehicle to the target to detonate the explosive at the target. The ordnance may drop directly on a target as a bomb does.

    摘要: An electronic detonation device with a dual antenna for a blasting system is proposed. The electronic detonation device includes: an electronic detonator; a wireless communication module, and a wire part connecting the electronic detonator to the wireless communication module. The wireless communication module includes a first antenna part positioned in an upper portion therein and a second antenna part positioned in a lower portion therein. Accordingly, regardless of a placement direction of the wireless communication module on the ground, stable wireless communication is performed, thereby improving blasting accuracy.

    摘要: A proximity sensor for a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) is provided. A proximity sensor for a Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) includes: an electronics package unit (EPU) configured to be connected to a front end of a warhead; and at least one sensor separate from the EPU and configured to be connected to a forward adapter that is connected to the front end of the warhead. The at least one sensor is configured to obtain data that is used to determine a height above ground of the LGB. The EPU is configured to compare the determined height above ground to a predefined value. The EPU is configured to generate a detonation signal for the warhead based on the determined height above ground being equal to or less than the predefined value.
