A system includes a deflector and an imaging system configured to be coupled to a vehicle. The deflector may be a windshield wiper with a pad coupled to a side opposite the wiper blade. The imaging system includes an objection detection camera. The deflector is configured to move across a predetermined portion of the windshield of the vehicle. A control system is configured to receive image data from the imaging system while the vehicle is in motion. Further, the control system is configured to identify an airborne object in a field of vision of the imaging system. Based on the receiving image data and identified airborne object, a trajectory of the airborne object is determined, and the deflector is operated to contact the airborne object.
