Abstract
An assembly for use as a net-launching projectile is disclosed. The assembly comprises a housing storing a net in a packed configuration and configured such that a rotation of the assembly causes the net to be ejected from the housing, thereby unpacking the net into an expanded configuration. The assembly also comprises a plurality of circumferentially disposed protrusions or ridges for engaging with corresponding rifling in a barrel to induce the rotation of the assembly when launched. Also disclosed is a net-launching system and a method of capturing an aerial target.

An assembly for use as a net-launching projectile, the assembly comprising:
- a housing storing a net in a packed configuration and configured such that a rotation of the assembly causes the net to be ejected from the housing, thereby unpacking the net into an expanded configuration;
- and
- a plurality of circumferentially disposed protrusions or ridges for engaging with corresponding rifling in a barrel to induce the rotation of the assembly when launched.
An assembly for use as a net-launching projectile, the assembly comprising:
- a plurality of weights connected to a net;
- and
- a housing storing the net in a packed configuration, the housing comprising a plurality of guides, each weight being disposed on a corresponding guide when the net is in the packed configuration;
- wherein the plurality of weights are configured to be ejected along the guides and from the housing by a rotation of the assembly, thereby unpacking the net into an expanded configuration.
