Methods for enhanced soft-kill countermeasure using a tracking radar

This invention describes a defense system that uses a sensor to detect a launched projectile and a tracking radar to follow it. A computer then figures out what kind of threat the projectile poses. The system then uses a directed beam to either create a fake target in front of the projectile, making it go off course, or generate a distracting reflection behind it to divert it.

Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in real-time AI processing and edge computing could significantly enhance the system's ability for immediate threat confirmation and rapid redirection. Improved directed energy beam control might also make the specific diversion methods more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
