Abstract
Device for interception of incoming ordnance, comprises a dispersion unit to disperse an explosive cloud in an expected path of the incoming ordnance, a proximity detector to detect proximity of the incoming ordnance in relation to the explosive cloud; and an ignition unit associated with said proximity detector that ignites the explosive cloud to disrupt the incoming ordnance.
Claims21
Device for interception of incoming ordnance, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect incoming ordnance and determine an expected path and timing of said incoming ordnance;
- a dispersion unit configured to disperse a cloud of detonatable material over a volume selected to affect said ordnance as said ordnance follows said expected path;
- an ignition unit configured to ignite said cloud of detonatable material to disrupt the incoming ordnance.
Method for interception of incoming ordnance, comprising:
- dispersing a detonatable cloud in relationship to an expected path of the incoming ordnance;
- detecting proximity of the incoming ordnance in relation to said detonatable cloud;
- and
- when said incoming ordnance is within a predetermined proximity of said detonatable cloud, igniting said detonatable cloud to disrupt the incoming ordnance.
1 more element
Method for interception of incoming ordnance, comprising:
- dispersing at least one drone, the at least one drone carrying material for forming a detonatable cloud to a location expected to intercept incoming ordnance;
- in the event of detecting approach of incoming ordnance, expelling said material to form said detonatable cloud at a location in relationship to an expected path of the incoming ordnance, and igniting said detonatable cloud to disrupt the incoming ordnance;
- and
- in the event that no incoming ordnance is detected, retrieving said at least one drone.
