Vehicle with a conducted electrical weapon

A system comprising:

• a vehicle;
• a launcher coupled to an outer surface of the vehicle;
• and
• a payload conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) removably inserted within a bay of the launcher, the payload CEW comprising:
• a plurality of electrodes, wherein at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes is configured to be deployed during a first launch, wherein the first launch occurs after the vehicle is within a range to a target, and wherein the range to the target is determined based on a length of a wire-tether of the at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes.

A payload conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) comprising:

• a processor;
• a signal generator configured to generate a stimulus signal;
• a plurality of wire-tethered electrodes;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining whether the payload CEW is within a range of a target, wherein the range is based on a length of a wire-tether of at least one electrode of the plurality of wire-tethered electrodes,
• initiating a first launch configured to launch at least two wire-tethered electrodes of the plurality of wire-tethered electrodes toward a target, and
• instructing the signal generator to provide a first stimulus signal through the target via at least a portion of the at least two wire-tethered electrodes.
