Abstract
A missile defense system generates a change in density in the air path of a missile. The density change is created by a high-pressure water system which can be generated by a water jet or a body of water explosively created from a water surface. When operating against a waterborne missile, the density of the water medium is changed. The change in density creates an effective barrier against an incoming missile.
