The present disclosure provides systems and techniques that can be implemented in a gun, such as an electromechanical gun. The gun may charge a capacitor bank, identify a trigger break based on an output generated by a trigger sensor, and transmit a signal based on the trigger break. Transmitting the signal may result in the capacitor bank discharging electric charge such that electric current is directed at an actuator mechanism so as to cause displacement of the actuator mechanism, and the displacement of the actuator mechanism may result in the propulsion of a projectile through a barrel of the gun. The gun may determine that a projectile has been fired based on an output of an accelerometer or a gyroscope, and the gun may recharge the capacitor bank in response to determining that the projectile has been fired.

A system for delivering ordinance is disclosed. The system includes a flight capable drone having a lift capacity suitable for carrying a munition, a fire control module in communication with the munition, and a handheld device in remote communication with the fire control module. At least one encrypted firing code generated by the fire control module is received by the handheld device and the munition is armed in accordance with at least the location of the drone.

A method for simultaneous blasting of projectiles includes i.) calculating the position of the target, ii.) estimating the target's position, iii.) firing a first projectile at the target, iv.) firing a second projectile at the target, v.) braking the first projectile with a braking device arranged in the projectile, and vi.) detonating the projectiles in a coordinated fashion based on an initiation signal. A fire-control system for directing fire against a target comprising at least one sensor, in order to measure the position of the target as a function of time, and a combat system including a firing device are also provided.
