Countermeasure deployment system facilitating neutralization of target aerial vehicles

A system for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle, comprising:

• a projectile launching mechanism;
• a projectile launchable from the projectile launching mechanism to a pre-determined location, wherein the projectile is formed from at least a first housing section and a second housing section releasably coupled to each other and defining an inner chamber operable to support a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
• and
• separable from the projectile, and comprising an aerial vehicle countermeasure;
• an aerial vehicle detection system comprising at least one detection sensor operable to detect a target aerial vehicle while in flight, and, upon the detection, operable to provide command data to at least one of the launching mechanism or the counter-attack UAV to facilitate neutralization of the target aerial vehicle,
• wherein, based on the command data, the projectile launching mechanism is operable to launch the projectile to the pre-determined location,
• wherein the first housing section and the second housing section separate from one another to release the counter-attack UAV from the inner chamber at a particular geolocation relative to the target aerial vehicle in response to the command data, and
• wherein upon release of the counter-attack UAV from the projectile, the counter-attack UAV is operable to neutralize the target aerial vehicle via the aerial vehicle countermeasure.

A method for neutralizing a target aerial vehicle, comprising:

• detecting a target aerial vehicle while in flight and generating command data based on the detection of the target aerial vehicle;
• launching a projectile from a projectile launching mechanism in response to the generated command data, the projectile supporting a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein the projectile is formed from at least a first housing section and a second housing section releasably coupled to each other and defining an inner chamber that contains the counter-attack UAV;
• separating the first housing section from the second housing section to release the counter-attack UAV from the inner chamber of the projectile at a particular geolocation relative to the target aerial vehicle based on the generated command data;
• and
• operating the counter-attack UAV to neutralize the target aerial vehicle.
