A method of identifying an object signature in an environment includes acquiring infrared information from the environment using a detection unit in order to obtain an infrared wavelength spectrum associated with the environment. The method further includes selecting three wavelength bands of the infrared wavelength spectrum using a filtering unit and detecting a presence of the three wavelength bands of the infrared wavelength spectrum in the environment by filtering the selected three wavelength bands using the filtering unit. The method further includes determining an intensity indicator for the three selected wavelength bands using a processing unit and classifying the object signature using the processing unit based on the determined intensity indicator in order to identify the object signature.

A pulse generator for generating an HPEM pulse includes a Marx generator having a plurality of capacitors that are connected in series between two output poles, providing a Marx voltage between the output poles during operation of the Marx generator. A DS resonator has two input poles and each of the input poles is connected to a respective one of the output poles by a respective supply line. The capacitors are physically disposed along a profile line having two ends at each of which a respective one of the output poles is located. A distance between the output poles is smaller than a longitudinal extent of the Marx generator along the profile line.

A system carried on a satellite in orbit around the earth is configured to detect an object on a collision or near collision course with the satellite, to determine that the object is a hostile attacker and, if so, to timely deploy one or more countermeasures to defeat, deflect, or destroy such an attacker autonomously.

A new kind of active protection system (APS) called SNAP (scalable networked active protection) will be a light and affordable means of protecting vehicles and infrastructure against rockets and missiles. The APS system is built from modules, each of which is itself a stand-alone APS. Since each unit is a stand-alone APS, the only single points of failure are the User Interface (UI) in the vehicle cab and the Data/Power Router (DPR). SNAP instead takes advantage of each module protecting a relatively small area to employ vastly lower cost components. In addition, each SNAP module is disposable in that when its countermunition is initiated, the entire module is consumed and subsequently replaced in the field. This approach allows the system to be very compact and lightweight.
