A system and method for protection of aircraft against surface-to-air missiles deploys sensors to provide coverage around an airport The use of a fixed (or slow moving) set of sensors around the airport allows detection of missile threats to all aircraft using the airport without requiring each individual aircraft to be provided with a threat detection system. Information about a detected threat is then typically transmitted in real time directly to the aircraft under threat to allow timely deployment of aircraft-based countermeasures. The detection system and method preferably employ spaced-apart sensors with overlapping fields of view to provide enhanced tracking through triangulation and reduced false alarm rates by redundancy of information. Airborne systems with overlapping coverage may be also used.

A system for identifying missile threats against aircraft within a region of interest and activating a countermeasure system, the system comprising: (a) a plurality of spaced-apart optical imaging arrangements deployed relative to the region of interest such that at least part of the airspace over substantially the entirety of the region of interest falls within the field of view of at least two of said optical imaging arrangements; and (b) a processing system including at least one processor, said processing system being associated with said plurality of optical imaging arrangements and configured to: (i) process outputs from each of said optical imaging arrangements to derive suspected missile tracks; (ii) correlate suspected missile tracks derived from separate ones of said optical imaging arrangements to derive a confirmed missile track only when correlation is found between suspected missile tracks derived from at least two of said optical imaging arrangements; and (iii) output an actuation command in response to said confirmed missile track for actuating a countermeasure system. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said processing system is further configured to determine a current position in three dimensions of a missile corresponding to each confirmed missile track. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein said processing system is further configured to determine a velocity vector in three dimensions of a missile corresponding to each confirmed missile track. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein said processing system is further configured to determine an acceleration of a missile corresponding to each confirmed missile track. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said processing system is further configured to: (a) receive information indicative of at least a current position of each aircraft within the airspace of the region of interest; and (b) determine towards which of said aircraft a missile corresponding to each confirmed missile track is navigating. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising a transmitter configured for transmitting said actuation command to said aircraft towards which the missile is navigating for activation of an aircraft-based countermeasure system. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein said processing system is further configured to estimate a geographical launch location from which each of said confirmed missile tracks originated. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one of said optical imaging arrangements is implemented as a panoramic arrangement including a plurality of optical imaging arrays deployed to provide an effective field of view substantially spanning 360 degrees. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the region of interest is a predefined geographical region. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein said processing system is further configured to: (a) receive additional suspected missile track data relayed from a missile detection system mounted on at least one aircraft currently airborne near the airport; and (b) correlate said additional suspected missile track data with at least one of: suspected missile tracks derived from one of said optical imaging arrangements; and confirmed missile tracks derived by said processing system. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein said plurality of optical imaging arrangements are deployed in substantially stationary locations relative to the predefined geographical region. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein two of said plurality of optical imaging arrangements are spaced apart by at least about 1 kilometer. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein at least one of said optical imaging arrangements is deployed on a floating platform. 14. The system of claim 9, wherein the predefined geographic region encompasses a circular area of radius at least 15 kilometers around an airport. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein the predefined geographic region further encompasses at least one converging strip terminating at a distance of at least 40 kilometers from the airport. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein said plurality of spaced-apart optical imaging arrangements are mounted on a plurality of aircraft, and wherein the region of interest is a region of airspace surrounding said plurality of aircraft. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein said plurality of spaced-apart optical imaging arrangements are mounted on a subset of a group of aircraft flying together. 18. A method for identifying missile threats against aircraft within a region of interest and activating a countermeasure system, the system comprising: (a) deploying a plurality of spaced-apart optical imaging arrangements deployed relative to the region of interest such that at least part of the airspace over substantially the entirety of the region of interest falls within the field of view of at least two of said optical imaging arrangements; (b) monitoring outputs from each of said optical imaging arrangements to derive suspected missile tracks; (c) correlating suspected missile tracks derived from separate ones of said optical imaging arrangements to derive a confirmed missile track only when correlation is found between suspected missile tracks derived from at least two of said optical imaging arrangements; and (d) outputting an actuation command on derivation of a confirmed missile track for actuating a countermeasure system. 19.
