Abstract:
A system for correcting the aim of a weapon which is operative to launch a projectile from a barrel on a ballistic path toward a target. A rear surface of the projectile is coated with a fluorescent dye that re-emits radiation when excited by laser radiation. The system includes a source of laser radiation (strobe) pulses that form a cone of light. intersecting the ballistic path of the projectile. The strobe pulses are emitted at predetermined times (T1, T2, Τ3,...Τn) following firing of the projectile (at time T0). An optical detector receives the radiation re-emitted by a the fluorescent dye at the rear of the projectile at times (T1z, T2z, T3z,...Τnz) producing measurable location signals allowing the system to measure the vertical and lateral positions of the projectile at said times, where "z" is a re-emission delay and T1z, T2z, T3z,...Τnz, are the respective times T1, T2, Τ3,...Τn each delayed by amount z.
Abstract:
A projectile, that can be tracked optically, which is coated with a fluorescent die or affixed with rearward facing retro-reflectors. Laser emitted radiation forms a cone of light that intersects and illuminates the ballistic path of the projectile. It is possible to manual measurement techniques, spotters or automated tracking of the illuminated projectile. The optically tracked projectile al lows for the adjustment subsequent shots using a manual or automated optical tracking.
Abstract:
A tracking system and associated methods for locating animals, such as wounded/downed game animals or non-game animals such as research animals, and/or projectiles configured to be shot at an animal are disclosed. The system includes a transmitter and one or more radio frequency reflectors. In some cases, the reflector is integrally coupled to the projectile to allow the user to locate the projectile. In other cases, the reflector is selectively coupled to the projectile so as to be removed from the projectile and attached to the animal when the projectile hits the animal. In such cases, the user may use the transmitter to locate the animal. In still other cases, at least one reflector is integrally coupled to the projectile while another is selectively coupled to the projectile. Accordingly, the user can locate the projectile and the animal.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hand grenade comprising a main body (10), an actuator (14) releasably fixed to the main body (10), an actuator-ejection mechanism, and a charge to be released, which includes an automatic-identification device (34) embedded in the actuator. The invention further relates to a grenade actuator of the EOT-type (Espoleta de Ogiva de Tempo, time fuse point), which comprises an automatic-identification device (34) embedded therein. The present invention can also materialize in the form of a method of manufacturing a hand-grenade actuator, according to which it is provided a housing for an automatic-identification device in the actuator body. Indeed, the method of manufacturing the actuator further in¬ cludes providing said housing with a cylindrical shape and then inserting an equally cylindrical automatic-identification device into said housing.
