Benefits of technology
This patent describes a remotely sightable launcher assembly for detaining a subject. The assembly includes a launcher carrying a projectile consisting of a pair of pellets and a tether connecting them. The projectile is designed to at least temporarily detain the subject when wrapped around them. The assembly also includes a camera attached to the launcher for obtaining an image of the area aimed by the launcher. A sighting screen is connected to the camera for displaying the image so that the user can aim the launcher at a specific subject. The method includes aiming the launcher at a subject, obtaining an image of the subject with the camera, aligning the image on the subject, and activating the power source to expel the projectile from the launcher towards the subject. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a precise and effective way to detain a subject remotely using a launcher and projectile.
Problems solved by technology
It is generally accepted, however, that engaging in hand-to-hand combat is not a desirable alternative.

A remotely sightable launcher assembly is provided for at least temporarily detaining a subject. A launcher can carry a projectile which can include a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets. The projectile is capable of at least temporarily detaining a subject when wrapped about the subject. A user input is operably coupled to a control system, the user input operable to communicate with the control system to activate the power source to expel the projectile from the launcher toward the subject. A camera is associated with or carried by the launcher and is operable to obtain an image of an area toward which the launcher is aimed. A sighting screen is in communication with the camera, the sighting screen displaying the image provided by the camera and allowing a user to align the image obtained by the camera to target a subject within the sighting screen.
Description
PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]Priority is claimed of and to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 775,167, filed Dec. 4, 2018, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to non-lethal, near-range weapons systems to aid in temporarily detaining, immobilizing, impeding or subduing hostile or fleeing subjects.Related Art[0003]It has been recognized for some time that police and military personnel can benefit from the use of weapons and devices other than firearms to deal with some hostile situations. While firearms are necessary tools in law enforcement, they provide a level of force that is sometimes unwarranted. In many cases, law enforcement personnel may wish to deal with a situation without resorting to use of a firearm. It is generally accepted, however, that engaging in hand-to-hand combat is not a desirable alternative.[0004]For these and other reasons, non-letha...
