Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021160498A1] The invention relates to a method for minimizing damage to a watercraft (10). The method has the following steps: a) providing the watercraft (10) and a database (20), wherein the watercraft (10) has areas Rn, the database (20) contains time information tRi for at least one area Ri, and the time information tRi is the time required to produce a liquid mist in the area Ri to which said time information tRi is assigned, b) detecting and locating a threat in the form of a flying object (80), c) ascertaining the movement of the flying object (80), d) ascertaining the collision location between the flying object (80) and the watercraft (10), e) ascertaining the area Ri of the watercraft (10) which adjoins the collision location, f) ascertaining the time information tRi for said area Ri from the database (20), g) ascertaining the point in time t0 at which the flying object (80) has reached a position where the remaining flight time to the collision location corresponds to the time information Ri, and h) starting the process of generating a liquid mist in the area Ri, at the point in time t0 or t0 - Δt0, where Δt0 is a specified tolerance time interval.
