Claim 0:
1. An active protection system for a platform, comprising:
a threat cueing sensor provided at a first position on the platform, wherein the threat cueing sensor detects a threat launched from a threat guidance system at a distance away from the platform;
a logic system operably connected to the threat cueing sensor, wherein the logic system is adapted to determine an estimated location of the threat guidance system via a distance away from the platform;
a laser source operably connected to the logic system, wherein the laser source emits a countermeasure beam directed at the estimated location of the threat guidance system to deter the threat away from the platform; and
an inertial navigation system operably connected to the logic system, the inertial navigation system is adapted to provide substantially instantaneous feedback of the rotation and the translation of the platform from an initial position to a translated position.
