Abstract

A water vessel and base shielding device designed to protect water vessels and bases from sea skimming cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, projectiles, torpedos, and bombs. The device generates one or more walls of water, offering enhanced defense capabilities to safeguard water vessels and bases. In exemplary embodiments, pontoons, sponsons, or skids are integrated into the vessel for housing the shielding device and creating water walls. An integrated pump generates the necessary high-pressure water flow, enabling the water jets to reach the desired height based on the effective area of the water jets. Another embodiment includes use of explosives within the surroundings of a water vessel or a base. The explosives can be remotely activated via a remote-control unit to create water walls of varying heights and shapes, offering comprehensive protection against anti-ship missiles and projectiles. The water walls can enclose the ship, forming a protective dome around it.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel, the hydro shielding system comprising:
 a plurality of hydro shielding devices wherein each hydro shielding device having a housing for an inlet to receive water, piping, a plurality of water jets, a pump, and valves for controlling the outflow of the water;   wherein said plurality of water jets are disposed in said hydro shielding device for expelling the water to create at least a first water wall;   wherein said plurality of water jets direct the water in a specific direction and at a specified height of said first water wall;   wherein said pump and said valves generate pressure to the water received from said inlet and expelled as the outflow of water for creation of said first water wall;   wherein said pump increases a water pressure to the water passing therethrough; and   wherein said first water wall is proximal to the water vessel and acts as a diversion to projectiles launched at the water vessel.   
     
     
         2 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 1 , wherein said water pressure is preconfigured. 
     
     
         3 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 2 , wherein said water pressure dependent upon an area of said first water wall expelled by said plurality of water jets. 
     
     
         4 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 3 , wherein said plurality of water jets adjustable by a remote control button disposed on the water vessel upon which said plurality of shielding devices are installed. 
     
     
         5 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 4 , wherein said housing is in a form selected from a group consisting of a pontoon, a skid, and a sponson. 
     
     
         6 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 5 , wherein said plurality of hydro shielding devices mounted at a variety of positions around the water vessel. 
     
     
         7 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 6 , wherein each one of said plurality of hydro shielding devices selectively actuated by said controller. 
     
     
         8 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 7  further comprising a central processor for controlling said plurality of hydro shielding devices including a timer for said selective actuation of said plurality of hydro shielding devices. 
     
     
         9 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 8 , wherein said central processor controlling said specific direction and said specified height of said first water wall. 
     
     
         10 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 9 , wherein said central processor configured with a predefined said specified height of said first water wall. 
     
     
         11 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 9 , wherein each one of said plurality of hydro shielding devices expel water to create a plurality of water walls; and wherein said plurality of water walls are proximal to the water vessel and act as a diversion to projectiles launched at the water vessel. 
     
     
         12 . A hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel, the hydro shielding system comprising:
 a plurality of hydro shielding devices wherein each hydro shielding device having a housing for an inlet to receive water, piping, a plurality of water jets, a pump, and valves for controlling the outflow of the water;   wherein said plurality of water jets are disposed in said hydro shielding device for expelling the water to create at least a first water wall;   wherein said plurality of water jets direct the water in a specific direction and at a specified height of said at least first water wall;   wherein said pump and said valves generate pressure to the water received from said inlet and expelled as the outflow of water for creation of said at least first water wall;   wherein said pump increases a water pressure to the water passing therethrough;   wherein said water pressure dependent upon an area of said at least first water wall expelled by said plurality of water jets;   wherein each one of said plurality of hydro shielding devices expel water to create a plurality of water walls; and   further wherein said plurality of water walls are proximal to the water vessel and act as a diversion to projectiles launched at the water vessel.   
     
     
         13 . The hydro shielding system for shielding a water vessel of  claim 12 , wherein said housing is in a form selected from a group consisting of a pontoon, a skid, and a sponson.
