Abstract: An air bomb system for defending an attacked aircraft from a rearward attacking aircraft utilizes a rearward-looking radar system that detects the attacking aircraft and provides information about such to a computer which calculates various times dependent events and outputs signals to a dispenser attached to the defending aircraft so that high explosive bombs are released into the path of the following aircraft. The bombs have a time-delayed detonation signal input and have also attached a lifting-body parachute that maintains the appropriate altitude of the released bomb. The pilot has a control panel for selecting various modes of operation.
