Abstract:
1. A system for reducing damage by missiles to a vehicle, the system comprising: a detector operable to detect a missile and to generate detection information indicative of a motion of the missile; a processor, configured to analyze the detection information and to selectively trigger activation of a jetting system that is mounted on the vehicle in response to a result of the analysis; and the jetting system, comprising at least one jetting system container that is coupled to a corresponding high pressure tank that contains high pressured gas, and operable to jet a high pressure jet onto the missile; wherein any gas transmission permitting coupling between each of the at least one jetting system container and its corresponding high pressure tank is blocked during a first period between a takeoff of the vehicle to the triggering of the jetting system and is selectively opened in response to a command issued by the processor.
