Abstract (en)

The defence device against missiles (12), with infrared detection (14), comprises a plasma generating unit (16) by which a plasma or plasma breakthrough is generated in the air at a distance from the plasma generating unit. One or more plasma clouds (30) are produced in the air by the plasma generating unit. The plasma generating unit includes at least one laser device (18) by means of which light pulses are emitted. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method for defence against missiles which have infrared detection which entails producing plasma clouds in the air; and (2) a use of a laser device for producing plasma in the air.
