Entangling projectile deployment system with adjustable anchor deployment times
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230392905A1) describes a projectile deployment system that includes an entangling projectile with a pair of anchors connected by a tether and a projectile casing with sockets to carry the anchors. The system also includes pressure sources capable of expelling the anchors towards a subject with different flight characteristics. These flight characteristics may include differences in velocity, forward position, trajectory angle, aerodynamic drag, and other factors. The anchors can differ in material, volume, shape, surface finish, mass, outer diameter, and drag coefficient, providing versatility in deployment.
Furthermore, the system allows for independent activation of pressure sources, varying fluid resistance within sockets, different power outputs of pressure sources, and activation at different times. The method of deploying the entangling projectile involves initiating pressure sources at different times to propel the anchors forward within the sockets, resulting in staggered deployment. This innovative system offers a unique approach to projectile deployment, allowing for controlled and customizable entanglement of targets. The design considerations for the anchors, sockets, pressure sources, and deployment method contribute to the effectiveness and versatility of the system in various scenarios.
