Abstract: A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a confirmation device, which may be radar, to enhance existing countermeasures, and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The threat defeat confirmation may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats. The confirmation device can be mounted on a gimbal head or above a gimbal to take advantage of slewing movement to direct the confirmation signal towards the threat.

Abstract: A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a tracking radar to enhance existing countermeasures and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The use of the tracking radar may further allow for immediate threat defeat confirmation which may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats.

Abstract: A laser warning receiver system and method having at least four optical components mapped to a photodetector array to provide for omnidirectional detection of incident laser light. In some cases, a fifth optical component is mapped to the central portion of a photodetector array to provide hemispheric detection of laser light. The laser warning receiver system is configured to detect laser light in the NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and/or LWIR range using a single photodetector array and ROIC.
