Title: Countermeasures system
Inventor: GOODWIN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: F41H11/02
Filed: 2013-10-30
Abstract: A system is disclosed for automatically deploying countermeasures, e.g. from an aircraft or a vehicle, in response to a threat. The countermeasures may include a set of manoeuvres programs 4,12, a set of programs deploying expendables such as chaff or flares 6, 14, and a set of electronic countermeasure programs 8,16. Co-ordination may be carried out by a co-ordination program module 10, 18 (and fig.7). According to the invention, one or more processors 2 are arranged to select a co-ordinated countermeasures response 18 and to implementing the selected response 18 according to its stored specification. The stored specifications of the responses each comprise a sequence of commands (S1-S6, fig.7) and trigger events, each of the commands comprising one or more sub-commands 12, 14, 16 each specifying an individual response categorised as one of a plurality of countermeasures response-type categories 4, 6, 8. If a command (S1-S6, fig.7) comprises plural sub-commands 12, 14, 16 then each of the sub-commands 12, 14, 16 of the command is from a different category 4, 6, 8. The system implements a sequence of countermeasures providing several defensive responses in combination faster than a pilot could achieve.
