• iii) analyze signals received by the fractal antenna array to detect electromagnetically reflective objects present in the coverage radius to determine a location and speed of the reflective objects, and
• iv) activate the capacitor bank, pulse generator, phase-shifter to transmit the crafted wave via the fractal antenna array toward a target which is at least one of the reflective objects detected, and wherein the transmitted crafted wave is crafted to disrupt the target so as to annul any threat presented by the target.
