Claim 2:
3. A method for detecting and neutralizing an active shooter, comprising:
(a) automatically sensing, using a detector located within a predefined protected area, the predefined protected area, the detector being housed in a stationary base station located within the predefined protected area;
(b) automatically, based upon said automatic sensing of the predefined protected area, detecting a physical threat, the physical threat being from a first person intending to do harm to an innocent population in the predefined protected area;
said (b) automatically detecting the physical threat, to use in automatically detecting the physical threat within the predefined protected area, collects archival images of each person authorized to be in the predefined protected area to form an archival image database of authorized persons, collects contemporaneous images of each person in the predefined protected area with an imager, compares the collected contemporaneous images of each person with the archival images of each person in the archival image database of authorized persons to determine if a person is an authorized person, collects archival images of authorized weapons in the predefined protected area to form an archival authorized weapons database of authorized weapons, collects contemporaneous images of weapons in the predefined protected area with an imager, and compares the collected contemporaneous images of weapons with the archival images of authorized weapons in the archival image database to determine if a contemporaneous image of a weapon is an authorized weapon; and
(c) deploying automatically, in response to the detection of the physical threat to the innocent population in the predefined protected area, a weaponized UAV, the weaponized UAV being housed in the stationary base station, the weaponized UAV being deployed within the predefined protected area to neutralize the detected physical threat.
