An Antenna Positioning System for missile seeker and system development and test comprises an antenna module, and a plurality of tethers, wherein the antenna module is suspended in a position by the tethers and the position is capable of being changed and the antenna module manoeuvred by pulling at least one tether and simultaneously releasing at least one tether. The system is useful for testing and developing Radio Frequency (RF) missile technology in a controlled, simulated environment rather than by live missile firings.

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for determining whether a user is holding a gun. The gun may include a sensor, such as a laser proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a load cell, an accelerometer, or a biometric sensor, and the gun may determine whether a user is holding the gun based on an output generated by the sensor. A processor housed in the gun may identify activation of a proximity sensor, determine that a user is holding the gun based on the activation of the proximity sensor, and perform an action in response to determining that the user is holding the gun. The action performed by the processor may include performing a boot procedure, performing a health check procedure, visually indicating state information about the gun, audibly indicating state information about the gun, or tactilely indicating state information about the gun.
