ABSTRACT:
A weapon transport device transports along a path toward a target in hostile territory, (1) a target-intended weapon and (2) biological, chemical and/or radioactive agents for attacking the occupants of such territory should they execute countermeasures against the weapon transport device. Separation of the biological, chemical and/or radioactive agents is initiated or, where appropriate, inhibited, by signals from either the guidance system of the transport device or from on-board Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers when the transport device strays by more than a predetermined distance from the path, the sensor is blinded, or the transport device passes beyond a predetermined point while en route to the target.
