Abstract
Provided is a system for reducing damage by missiles to a vehicle, the system including: (a) a detector operable to detect a missile and to generate detection information indicative of a motion of the missile; (b) a processor, configured to analyze the detection information and to selectively trigger activation of a jetting system that is mounted on the vehicle in response to a result of the analysis; and (c) the jetting system, operable to jet a high pressure jet onto the missile.

A system for reducing damage by missiles to a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a detector operable to detect a missile and to generate detection information indicative of a motion of the missile;
- a processor, configured to analyze the detection information and to selectively trigger activation of a jetting system that is mounted on the vehicle in response to a result of the analysis;
- and
- the jetting system, operable to jet a high pressure jet onto the missile.
A method for reducing damage to a vehicle by missiles, the method comprising:
- detecting a missile by a detector that is mounted on the vehicle;
- generating detection information indicative of motion of the missile;
- analyzing the detection information;
- and
- selectively triggering jetting of a high pressure jet onto the missile by a jetting system that is mounted on the vehicle, in response to a result of the analysis.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for reducing damage to a vehicle by missiles, comprising the steps of:
- receiving detection information that was generated by a detector mounted on the vehicle and which is indicative of a motion of a missile detected by the detector;
- analyzing the detection information;
- and
- selectively triggering jetting of a high pressure jet onto the missile by a jetting system that is mounted on the vehicle, in response to a result of the analysis.
A system for reducing damage by missiles to a stationary target, the system comprising:
- a detector operable to detect a missile and to generate detection information indicative of a motion of the missile;
- a processor, configured to analyze the detection information and to selectively trigger activation of a jetting system that is mounted on the stationary target in response to a result of the analysis;
- and
- the jetting system, operable to jet a high pressure jet onto the missile.
A method for reducing damage to a stationary target by missiles, the method comprising:
- detecting a missile in a vicinity of the stationary target;
- generating detection information indicative of motion of the missile;
- analyzing the detection information;
- and
- selectively triggering jetting of a high pressure jet onto the missile by a jetting system that is mounted on the stationary target, in response to a result of the analysis.
A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for reducing damage to a stationary target by missiles comprising the steps of:
- detecting a missile in a vicinity of the stationary target;
- analyzing the detection information;
- and
- selectively triggering jetting of a high pressure jet onto the missile by a jetting system that is mounted on the stationary target, in response to a result of the analysis.
