Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for defending a vehicle against an approaching threat, is disclosed. A threat approaching the vehicle is identified. A rigid body is then deployed from the vehicle. Means associated with the body are provided for allowing controlled, guided propulsion of the body to position a reference axis of the body to a desired orientation relative to the threat and to translate the body substantially perpendicular to the reference axis, so as to eliminate the threat.
