Systems, methods and apparatus are described for a HERF weapon that may emit high-energy radio waves at a target based on locational information and a frequency associated with the target. The HERF weapon may receive the frequency and locational information from a sensing system. The HERF weapon may emit a high energy pulse toward the target and on the frequency associated with the target to disable or destroy the target without affecting nearby devices. The HERF weapon may allow the user to avoid detection by using a frequency that corresponds to the target's operating frequency.

Directional high-energy radio frequency weapon

Location may be determined in a way that does not primarily rely on jam-able or spoof-able techniques. For example, an apparatus may have multiple location-determining units, each unit having a different level of trust. One unit may have a first (e.g., highest) level of trust, a second such unit may have a second (e.g., medium) level of trust lower than the first level of trust, and a third such unit may have a third (e.g., lowest) level of trust lower than the first and second levels of trust. The apparatus may generally prefer to determine its location using the highest level of trust unit that is available at any given time.

Navigation system

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for zeroization of a computing device based on biometric information and vitality information. A computing device may store information associated with a user. The computing device may request biometric information and vitality information from one or more sensing devices. The computing device may determine, based on the requested biometric information and the requested vitality information, whether to zeroize the computing device.

Automatic device zeroization

A process described herein may be used to determine a first asset's position in a GNSS-limited environment. The process includes transmitting a current position for each of at least three additional assets in wireless messages by wireless transmitters. The current position for each of the at least three additional assets is determined using previously received position data and one more additional measurement generated by instruments on board the additional assets. The transmitted messages are received at a device of the first asset and a processor on the device implements pre-programmed instructions to access the current position for each of the three additional assets and determine the first asset's position using the current position for each of the three additional assets.

System and method for dismounted assured position, navigation and timing (DAPNT)

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for determining, based on blockchain, integrity of software and/or data stored on a vehicle. A computing device associated with a vehicle may determine one or more hash values for software and/or data stored on the vehicle. The computing device may receive values from read-only memory associated with the computing device and/or values from a blockchain of a distributed ledger system. The computing device may determine the integrity of the software and/or data based on the one or more hash values, the values from the read-only memory, and/or the values from the blockchain.
