The present invention can be generally described as a protection system. This
protection system is formed by the integration of commonly available subsystems,
which may be controlled by non-proprietary, open architecture software, which,
in turn, may accommodate the commonly known "plug and play" capability. This allows
the present invention to easily incorporate a variety of lethal (or less-than-lethal)
weapon payloads as well as a variety of sensors and detectors; thereby providing
the user with the first real, integrated system (of systems) solution capable of
providing an enhanced situation awareness capability.
