Abstract: A protection and defence system for an infrastructure against a threat approaching the infrastructure, comprising at least one effector. When a threat is determined, the at least one effector dispenses a non-lethal countermeasure which damages the threat and thus causes its crash. Vision and target tracker, such as at least a camera and tracker, and at least one directing/actuating drive are allocated to the effector or effectors. The effector and the vision and target tracker thereof are supported by a modular platform which can be fixedly installed to/on various infrastructures, can be removed therefrom and be used in a mobile mode. In addition, the platforms comprise a sensor that detects the spatial position of the effectors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-protection system (1) comprising at least one launching device (4) for initiating appropriate countermeasures against the threat, which comprises a sensor system (3) in the form of at least one sniper location detector or the like for detecting as well as locating a tank cover or rear cover position (6). A detection as well as a locating of the threat posed by the presence of a tank cover or rear cover position (6) ensues even before a shot is fired or before the threat. To this end, the launching device (4) is armed with pyrotechnic munitions (7), as a priority, irritation bodies or munition being integrated that, when fired, immediately produce an intense flash and/or smoke/fog (8).
