ABSTRACT:
An active lightning protection system and method is disclosed. According to one embodiment of the invention, the active lightning protection system includes a charge sensor that senses the build-up of charge associated with an imminent lightning strike in the proximity of a structure and a charge source to supply an opposite charge into the proximity to offset the build-up, thereby reducing the possibility of a strike to the structure.
