A system for preventing salvage fusing of nuclear warhead attack weapons including an interceptor weapon having detecting means operably associated therewith for detecting an attack weapon at a predetermined distance. A disarming mechanism operably associated with the interceptor weapon for preventing detonation of the nuclear warhead. The interceptor weapon includes an explosive device for destroying the interceptor weapon during a period when the nuclear warhead is disarmed and hurling numerous particles at the attack weapon. Upon impact, the particles destroy the attack weapon thereby preventing it from ever reaching its full explosive potential.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
The method of limiting the explosive capability of a warhead associated with an attack missile which missile includes an antimissile detector for triggering said warhead at a specified period after detection of an intercept missile, which method prevents said warhead from reaching its full explosive potential prior to its destruction by said intercept missile which includes the steps of: (a) providing detection means associated with said intercept missile for detecting said attack missile at a specific range from said intercept missile; (b) providing a ray emitter operably associated with said intercept missile activated upon detection of said attack missile at said specific range and causing ray to be emitted and directed against said attack missile thereby preventing said warhead from reaching its full explosive potential after or before said attack missiles detection or said intercept missile; (c) providing said intercept missile with bomb means; (d) providing a firing mechanism for said bomb means; (e) providing means for directing said bomb means against said attack missile subsequent to said rays reaching an preventing said warhead from reaching its full explosive potential; (f) firing said bomb means; (g) subsequently impacting said bomb means against said attack missile thereby destroying said attack missile before said attack missile reaches it full explosive potential.
2.
The method of claim 1, including the step of: (a) providing said detection means in said intercept missile.
3.
The method of claim 1, including the step of: (a) providing said detection means at a place remote from said intercept missile.
4.
The method of claim 1, including the step of: (a) providing said ray emitter in said intercept missile.
5.
The method of claim 1, including the step of: (a) providing said ray emitter at a place remote from said intercept missile.
6.
The method of claim 1, including the step of: (a) providing said intercept missile with solid particles for impacting said attack missile
