System and method for active protection of a resource

This invention describes a method to protect a resource by detecting and neutralizing incoming threats. It uses an ultra-wideband radar to first spot a moving object and estimate its path. An optical tracker then precisely pinpoints the threat's location, allowing a high-powered laser to engage and neutralize it.

Why it matters: Filed before major advancements in high-power solid-state laser efficiency and compact UWB radar systems with sophisticated signal processing for sparse arrays. Real-time sensor fusion and targeting software have also matured significantly since 2004.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHigh-power laser, UWB radar, optical tracker.
