    Abstract: A directed-energy weapon counter measure apparatus and method for modifying a path of a focused electromagnetic energy beam(204) emitted by a directed energy weapon system so as to deflect it from a platform(200), the apparatus comprising an electromagnetic radiation source, communicably coupled to a control system. The control system is configured to create an atmospheric element (202) operative to simulate a physical electromagnetic radiation path modifying device within an atmospheric volume located in the path of the focused electromagnetic radiation beam(204) by causing electromagnetic radiation from the source to be applied to a selected plurality of three-dimensional portions of said atmospheric volume so as to heat and/or ionise the air within said portions, wherein said selected portions are spatially located together in a substantially unbroken, three-dimensional configuration.

    Abstract: Mixed reality system comprising: a headset with a visor placed over the users eyes; image capture means (eg. camera) that captures images of the real world environment surrounding a user; a processor configured to: receive data from multiple sources; blend the data and selected portions or objects from the real world images into a 3D virtual environment; and display the resulting augmented reality on the headset screen. Cameras may be mounted on the head-mounted display (HMD) aligned with operators eyes. Imagers may be spatially seperated enabling creation of a stereoscopic depth map to produce a three dimensional picture. Displayed data may be manipulated using predefined hand gestures that are stored in a database and associated with control actions. A control signal may be generated by comparing or matching images of users hand gestures against the database. Inanimate items, features, regions or people may be specified for inclusion in the mixed reality. Display configuration settings, such as the nature, location and orientation of displayed information, may be stored and transferred from one real environment to a different real environment.
