Title:
SYSTEM FOR PROTECTION AGAINST MISSILES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/147592
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for defeating enemy missiles and rockets, particularly rocket propelled grenades (RPG' s). The first step is to identify the firing of a missile by the use of sensors that give the approximate distance and bearing of the incoming missile. A non-lethal cloud of pellets is then launched from the target, which can be a building or vehicle or the like, in the general direction of the missile. The pellets are housed in a series of warhead containers mounted at locations on the target in various orientations. The warheads are triggered to fire a low velocity cloud of pellets toward the incoming missile. The pellets then collide with the missile a certain distance away from the target causing premature detonation of the missile, and/or possible severe damage to the missile, and/or deflection of the missile, due to the relatively high velocity of the missile.
