Abstract
An object deflection system includes at least one sensor for detecting an impending impact of a first object with a second object. The sensor communicates with a deflector deployment device to substantially instantaneously activate the deflector deployment device upon detecting the impending impact. When activated, the deflector deployment device substantially instantaneously deploys a deflector so that the first object impacts the deflector. The first object is therefore deflected by the deflector and prevented from impacting second object.
