A system for providing integrated detection and deterrence against an unmanned vehicle including but not limited to aerial technology unmanned systems using a detection element, a tracking element, an identification element and an interdiction or deterrent element. Elements contain sensors that observe real time quantifiable data regarding the object of interest to create an assessment of risk or threat to a protected area of interest. This assessment may be based e.g., on data mining of internal and external data sources. The deterrent element selects from a variable menu of possible deterrent actions. Though designed for autonomous action, a Human in the Loop may override the automated system solutions.

A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.

A projectile is disclosed, having: a longitudinal axis, a steering assembly, a shell body, an attitude control system, a despin module, an electromagnetic receiver and/or emitter system, and a controller. The attitude control system includes a ram air inlet in selective open fluid communication with an exhaust assembly, which includes a plurality of exhaust outlets to selectively generate each of a plurality of thrust jets from a ram air inflow provided by the ram air inlet, each thrust jet being selectively controllable via the controller. The despin module is configured for selectively de-spinning the steering assembly with respect to the shell body about the longitudinal axis. The electromagnetic receiver and/or emitter system is configured for receiving and/or emitting electromagnetic energy, and for cooperating with the controller for operating the exhaust assembly to thereby selectively provide steering control moments. Systems and methods for steering the projectile are also disclosed.

A flight-path determination device for determining a flight path of a flying object has a position determination apparatus to detect a position of the flying object, an alignment apparatus that to verify whether the position of the flying object is within one specified approach path of a number of specified approach paths, and a path determination apparatus to output the relevant approach path as the flight path of the flying object if the position of the flying object is within one of the specified approach paths.

An advance warning system including an antenna pair and an RWR system to receive first, second and third signals for computing a frequency for all the signals and a phase difference between the signals. If the frequencies are within a threshold frequency difference and the phase difference is less than a threshold phase difference, two signals can be associated. If the frequencies are not within the threshold frequency difference, the RWR system generates a set of ambiguous angle of arrival AoA for the signals and correlates the two sets of ambiguous AoA to determine if there is a common AoA. If there is a common AoA, a third set of ambiguous angle of arrival AoA for a third signal is generated to determine if the three sets correlate. If there is a common AoA for all three signals, the three signals are associated.

A spatially-distributed architecture (SDA) of antennas transmits respective uniquely coded signals. A first receiver having a known position in a coordinate system defined by the SDA receives reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals. A first processor receives the reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals and identifies a position of a non-cooperative object in the coordinate system. A platform with a platform receiver receives non-reflected versions of the uniquely coded signals. The platform determines a position of the platform in the coordinate system. In an example, the platform uses a self-determined position and a position of the non-cooperative object communicated from the SDA to navigate or guide the platform relative to the non-cooperative object. In another example, the platform uses a self-determined position and information from an alternative signal source in a second coordinate system to guide the platform. Guidance solutions may be generated in either coordinate system.

A target assignment system includes a sensor system which detects a position of a moving vehicle, an assigning section which determines the launcher system assigned with the moving vehicle in response to the position of the moving vehicle and generates a first display signal which shows the moving vehicle and a first launcher system, a display section which displays the moving vehicle and the assigned launcher system in real time in response to the display signal, and an input section which instructs a change of the assigned launcher system. The assigning section generates a second display signal in which the first launcher system is changed to a second launcher system, in response to an instruction of assignment change.

The present disclosure provides a threat warning system that utilizes an image sensor and an active radar to determine whether a muzzle flash is the source of a threat to a platform carrying the threat warning system. The threat warning system may be a new operation of existing or legacy components on a platform that are implemented as a software update to accomplish the new objectives of the present disclosure. Alternatively, the components described herein may be provide as a newly constructed group of components networked together to accomplish the intended functions of the present disclosure.
