Q&A: What would some design specifications be for a device that can intercept a bullet?
Question by blonde_haired_blue_eyed_gurl: What would some design specifications be for a device that can intercept a bullet?
Something that can be carried by a police officer that would detect a bullet being fired at the officer and intercept it. I list some specifications for my engineering class and i dont know where to start. Just some ideas.
ALSO if your going to say something rude dont bother answering. Im not stupid i just need some help. I am stressed out and just having some mental blockage, so please just shoot some ideas.

It needs a 360 degrees precision radar to detect the flying bullet,a powerful laser to shoot and melt down the bullet ,a super fast computer,a smart programming software design and the control system (interfaces) to link them together.

one way I can think of is what i’m currently developing for exterminating pest birds.
the technology to locate the birds can be used to find the direction of the shots are coming from. if the officer is getting shot at (multiple shots that miss) an array of audio devices a can figure out where the sound is coming from and using a powerful computer, some highly illegal infrared and microwave surveillance equipment, a computer looking in that direction with advanced AI video ID software hopefully finding the shooter (with the weapon), sending the results to the officer’s pda (or similar device)
then as the officer finds cover, a laser (the very high energy type the dod is developing in their R&D labs) is shot to intercept the bullets and break them into harmless pieces.
without some serious hacking and theft you can’t possibly get your hands on the technology described above.
