ABSTRACT:
A defense system and a method for discriminating between armed re-entry vehicles and unarmed objects which are in close proximity of each other. The re-entry vehicles and the unarmed objects are bathed in a cloud of relativistic electrons with the resulting signatures from heavy objects, i.e., re-entry vehicles, being imaged directly. Detectors sense the location and identify of the re-entry vehicles and passes this information onto a weapons platform for tracking and interception.
