  • Publication number: 20240328757
    Abstract: This threat countermeasure system comprises a calculation device and a communication device. The calculation device is configured so as to determine, on the basis of the threat level of at least one target, a countermeasure position of attack on the target. The countermeasure position represents either a first countermeasure position that is attacked in order to temporarily inhibit the function of the target or a second countermeasure position that is attacked in order to stop the function of the target. A first countermeasure period during which the attack is applied to the first countermeasure position in order to at least temporarily inhibit the function of the target may be shorter than a second countermeasure period during which the attack is applied to the second countermeasure position in order to stop the function of the target.

  • Patent number: 12085368
    Abstract: A laser irradiation apparatus that efficiently carries out processes such as target detection. The laser irradiation apparatus (1) is provided with a laser array (10), a detector (20) and a controller (30). The laser array is provided with a plurality of laser oscillators including a first laser oscillator (11) that irradiates first detection laser light and a second laser oscillator (11) that irradiates second dealing laser light. The detector obtains detection information based on reflected light (503) that is the first detection laser light reflected by a target (2). The controller estimates a position of the target based on the detection information and generates a second dealing signal that instructs to irradiate the second dealing laser light to the estimated position of the target. The second laser oscillator irradiates dealing laser light to the estimated position of the target based on the second dealing signal.
