Abstract

The presently disclosed subject matter concerns an impact detection system for detecting an event of impact of a threat on a target and determining at least one characteristic of the event. The system comprises a sensing array of sensing elements mountable to the target. Each sensing element being configured to change its state from an intact state to a damaged state upon impact of the threat. The system further comprises a measuring system operatively coupled to the sensing elements, and a processing system operatively coupled to the measuring system. The processing system being configured to identify changes in the state of the sensing elements, and upon identifying the changes of the states of at least two sensing elements during the event of impact, generate a data signal including a time-sequence of the corresponding changes, and to determine said at least one characteristic of the event of the impact accordingly.
