Progressively damaging, powerful unmanned countermeasures


Then the system automatically chooses the integrated countermeasures that will be most effective and engages the pirate craft with them.

The closer the suspect skiffs come to their intended ‘prey’, the more physically intolerable the close-tracking countermeasure weapons will become.

The light cannons will induce temporary states of blindness (for 10-15 seconds) at a range of 800 metres to 1km. If the pirates elect to continue, they will be progressively risking and then incurring irreversible damage to their eyesight.

Alternatively, the directional sound cannons will be emitting sounds at decibel levels which initially produce excruciating ear discomfort, then intolerable pain and finally irreversible hearing damage.
