Claim 6:
7. A method for diverting a threat away from a platform, comprising:
initiating an active protection system on the platform
detecting an initial launch of a threat from a threat guidance system via a threat cueing sensor;
sending a first signal, via the threat cueing sensor, to a logic system based on the initial launch of the threat;
adjusting a laser source, via the logic system, to a predetermined location of the initial launch of the threat from the threat guidance system;
emitting a countermeasure beam, via a laser source, at the predetermined location relative to the initial launch;
directing the countermeasure beam at a predetermined location, via the logic system, at a distance between the platform and the threat guidance system;
adjusting the countermeasure beam, via an inertial navigation system, based on rotation or translation of the platform from an initial position to a translated position;
impairing the tracking of the threat from the threat guidance system, via the laser source, to direct the threat away from the platform for neutralizing said threat.
