Although lightning protection techniques have seen considerable progress in the past, the best external lightning protection to date is still based on the concept of the lightning rod, invented by Benjamin Franklin almost 300 years ago. This kind of passive control of lightning by a metallic rod is widely used for the external protection of fixed installations. However, there are many situations where a large bulky permanent structure is not conceivable (gathering of crowds, temporary storage of dangerous material, rockets on their launching pad, proximity protection of landing lanes in airports). Easily deployable active rods then become necessary.
