AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional methods for protecting static or high-inertia targets from laser-guided projectiles are ineffective, costly, or require heavy equipment, and are highly dependent on environmental conditions.
Method used
A protection system using mobile entities equipped with laser emission devices detects laser spots, replicates their spectral and temporal characteristics, and guides projectiles away from the target using a more intense laser beam, allowing for effective protection without requiring target mobility or heavy equipment.
Benefits of technology
The system effectively diverts laser-guided munitions away from targets, minimizing damage and avoiding costly equipment dependencies, applicable to various target types and environments.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for protecting an installation to be protected (10), the method being implemented by a protection system (12) comprising at least one entity (14) comprising a laser emission device, the method comprising the steps of:obtaining information relating to the detection of a laser spot (T) on, or in proximity to, the installation to be protected (10),moving an entity (14) of the protection system (12) so that the laser emission device of the entity (14) is in proximity to the detected laser spot (T),emitting, by the laser emission device, a laser beam reproducing the spectral characteristic and the time code of the detected laser spot (T), andprogressive offsetting of the entity (14) comprising the laser emission device so as to guide the projectile at a distance from the installation to be protected (10).
