System for deploying a first object for capturing, immobilising or disabling a second object

A system for deploying a first object for capturing, immobilising or disabling a second object, the system comprising:

• the first object;
• a projectile for carrying the first object therein, wherein the projectile comprises a projectile body including a first compartment for storing the first object, a first deployment mechanism for deploying the first object, and control circuitry for activating the first deployment mechanism;
• and
• a launcher for launching the projectile towards the second object, wherein the launcher comprises:
• a barrel configured to receive the projectile;
• a launching mechanism for launching the projectile;
• an aiming mechanism for aiming the barrel, wherein the aiming mechanism comprises:
• an attachment means for attaching the aiming mechanism to the barrel;
• a sight for allowing a user to visually acquire a target object;
• a range finder for measuring the distance to the target object in a direct line of sight;
• a direction sensor for measuring the direction of the target object, including at least the zenith angle of the target object with respect to a horizontal plane;
• an actuator for adjusting the direction of the barrel relative to the direct line of sight, including at least the zenith angle;
• and
• a processor for controlling the actuator to adjust the direction of the barrel based on the measure distance and direction of the target object;
• and
• control circuitry for controlling the launching mechanism,
• wherein the projectile is configured for deploying the first object in the vicinity of the second object for capturing, immobilising or disabling the second object.
