Physical threat containment, neutralization and protection means applicable to terrorism, combat and disaster mitigation

摘要

Various novel means are provided to neutralize determined if not fanatical attackers, and in most embodiments to proactively prevent harm to most or all innocent bystanders. In one example, a flyable unmanned craft is provided, which is useful for disrupting an armed enemy from shooting friendlies. In another example, a system offering protection to victims of any one or more of terrorism, criminal behavior and disasters is provided. In yet another example, an inflatable protective device is provided, having at least one armored, puncture-resistant or projectile-resistant material or layer facing or presented to a threat which is in turn mounted upon an underlying shock-absorbing member. In a still further example, a system is provided that is capable of target-designating or tagging a potentially or actually harmful person, possibly located among innocent persons or potential victims, for neutralizing or lethal action.
