Abstract: An apparatus to improve a situational awareness of a pilot or driver controlling a vehicle using a control appliance. The control appliance includes a display for depicting surroundings of the vehicle, and the vehicle includes a missile warner and a sensor for fine tracking (FTS) configured to provide high-resolution images for a tracking of an approaching missile detected by the missile warner. The apparatus also includes a control unit, configured to couple a directable line-of-sight of the FTS with the display, and to employ the high-resolution images of the FTS to improve the depiction of the surroundings of the vehicle on the display.

Abstract: A system for jamming a target acquisition, which starts at a position and may be detected by a detector that provides a detection signal in response to the target acquisition includes a warning device for outputting a warning, in case the detector outputs a detection signal. The system also includes an optical jammer configured to provide at least one jamming signal, and a directing device configured to direct the jamming signal towards the position in response to the output warning in order to prevent target acquisition or at least to make target acquisition more difficult.
