A method for neutralizing a threat

This invention describes a way to protect a platform from an incoming Anti-Tank-Guided Missile (ATGM). It works by detecting the ATGM, classifying it as a threat, and then firing an interceptor missile equipped with an Electro-Magnetic-Pulse (EMP) warhead. The interceptor is aimed to detonate its EMP warhead close enough to the ATGM to disable it, potentially by tracking the ATGM's engine or launcher optically.

Why it matters: The method relies on rapid, accurate object classification and precise optical tracking, areas where AI and sensor fusion have seen significant advancements since 2017. These improvements could now make the system's real-time threat identification and targeting more robust.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedEMP warhead, advanced sensors, fire control software
