  • Protecting commercial airliners from man portable missiles
    Patent number: 6738012
    Abstract: A commercial airliner (10) carries a sensor that detects a characteristic (21) associated with a man portable missile (20). Raw sensor data is transmitted via a wireless data-link (41) to ground stations (31-33) that process the airliner transmission and determine both the presence of the missile and a precise aircraft position. Countermeasures are fired to detonate within a close proximity of airliner in order to divert the detected missile.
