Abstract
A method for disrupting the operation of a system comprising electrical and/or electronic circuitry is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of firing a cartridge containing ferrite powder from a gun. The ferrite powder forms a kinetic-effect column that penetrates the system thereby causing physical damage. The ferrite powder then disperses within the system to disrupt operation of the electrical and/or electronic circuitry. A cartridge and kit for use in such a method is also disclosed.
Claims22
A method for disrupting the operation of a system comprising electrical and/or electronic circuitry, wherein the method comprises the steps of;
- firing a cartridge containing ferrite powder from a gun;
- and then,
- the ferrite powder forms a kinetic-effect column that penetrates the system thereby causing physical damage;
- and then,
- the ferrite powder disperses within the system to disrupt operation of the electrical and/or electronic circuitry.
(canceled)
A cartridge, the cartridge containing ferrite powder and being configured such that when fired from the muzzle of a gun, the cartridge produces, at a first predetermined distance from the muzzle, a kinetic-effect column of the ferrite powder for penetrating a system;
- and then at a point beyond said first predetermined distance the ferrite powder disperses as a non-lethal cloud.
