Abstract:
1. A system for detecting a moving object, comprising: at least one continuous wave or pulsed laser transmitter comprising beam shaping optics operable for transmitting a beam of radiation at a predetermined wavelength and forming at least one planar or curved surface in a desired shape and size constituting an optical screen to be traversed by a moving object said moving object being a projectile; at least one receiver including an array of detectors for receiving reflected or scattered beam radiation of said optical screen, from said projectile and directing it towards at least one of said detectors for producing a signal; said transmitter and receiver are located on one side of said screen, and a detection logic means receiving said signal and determining parameters selected from the group of spatial position, velocity and direction of propulsion of said projectile.
