Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1816430A1] Defending against flying bodies (7.1, 7.2) containing explosives with piezoelectric fuses involves inducing oscillation of the fuse using ultrasonic energy (1) so that the fuse is activated in flight. An independent claim is included for a corresponding defense system, comprising a flying body warning sensor (4) for detecting the launch of the flying body (7.1); a flight tracking sensor; a generator (2) of ultrasonic radiation (1), suitable for inducing oscillation of the fuse of the flying body (7.2) so that the fuse is activated in flight; and a positioning device for directing the ultrasonic radiation at the approaching flying body.
