Abstract
A system for jamming a target acquisition, which starts at a position and may be detected by a detector that provides a detection signal in response to the target acquisition includes a warning device for outputting a warning, in case the detector outputs a detection signal. The system also includes an optical jammer configured to provide at least one jamming signal, and a directing device configured to direct the jamming signal towards the position in response to the output warning in order to prevent target acquisition or at least to make target acquisition more difficult.
Claims15
A system for jamming a target acquisition, which starts at a position and is detectable by detector, wherein the detector provides a detection signal in response to the target acquisition, the system comprising:
- a warning device for outputting a warning based on the detection signal;
- an optical jammer configured to provide at least one jamming signal;
- and
- a directing device configured to direct the jamming signal towards the position in response to the output warning in order to prevent the target acquisition or to make target acquisition at least more difficult,
- wherein the optic jammer is configured to provide a multispectral light signal, in particular a pulsed or continuous laser signal, as the jamming signal, wherein the optical jammer is further configured to provide the jammer signal having a wavelength which is variable by switchable wavelengths.
A method for jamming a target acquisition, which starts at a position and is detectable by detector, wherein the detector provides a detection signal in response to the target acquisition, comprising the following acts:
- outputting a warning, in case the detector outputs a detection signal;
- and
- in response to outputting the warning, directing a jamming signal towards the position to prevent target acquisition or to make target acquisition at least more complicate,
- wherein the optic jammer is configured to provide a multispectral light signal, in particular a pulsed or continuous laser signal, as the jamming signal, wherein the optical jammer is further configured to provide the jammer signal having a wavelength which is variable by switchable wavelengths.
