Description

The invention relates to military equipment, as well as to the field of aviation, in particular to methods and methods for capturing and hitting unmanned aerial vehicles.

There are various methods and technical solutions for capturing MBLA using a network-trap device for combating remotely piloted (unmanned) aircraft (Patent No. 72753), a device for combating remotely piloted (unmanned) aircraft (Patent No. 72754).

However, these methods are not effective enough, time-consuming and spend a lot of time when entering a position to capture an enemy UAV.

A known method of capturing small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles based on determining the spatial coordinates of the enemy with its subsequent capture and evacuation (RF Patent No. 2565863). This method is implemented in the form of MBLA with an automatic control system and elements of artificial intelligence, a network of high-strength polymer filament and sinkers, where MBL cameras are installed on the MBLA, which allow using the on-board processor to determine in passive mode the spatial coordinates of the enemy MBLA in the optical range of electromagnetic waves, choosing a certain range and speed, in the lower part of the MBLA fuselage, compartments are placed in a row for placing networks with sinkers and devices for their shooting, and also devices with automatic fastening of a high-strength polymer thread connecting the parachute for launching the enemy captured in the MBLA network, transporting MBLA to the programmed area with the most favorable terrain for successfully evacuating the captured MBLA of the enemy. This method is taken as a prototype.

However, this method does not have the ability to capture an enemy UAV at any height of its flight path without performing additional maneuvers when entering the capture position.

The technical result of the proposed method for capturing unmanned aerial vehicles is:

- the ability to capture an enemy UAV at any height of its flight path without performing additional maneuvers when entering the capture position;

- reducing the time to reach the UAV capture position when capturing an enemy UAV.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the known method of capturing unmanned aerial vehicles, the firing device is made in the form of a gun, moves along the trajectory of the cross section of the surface of the fuselage and rotates in horizontal and vertical planes around its axis.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the capture of unmanned aerial vehicles is based on determining the spatial coordinates of the enemy with their subsequent capture using nets with sinkers and a device for shooting them, where the shooting device is made in the form of a gun, moves along the trajectory of the cross section of the surface of the fuselage and rotates in horizontal and vertical planes around its axis.

Moving the shooting device along the trajectory of the cross section of the surface of the fuselage can be carried out, for example, using a movement mechanism that will capture the enemy’s UAV in all directions.

The movement mechanism can be made in the form [http://www.bearing-spb.ru/catalog/oporno-povorotnyie-us1rojstva/fag-inf/oporno-povorotnye-ustrojstva-vsu20/vsu201094. Date of appeal: 06/13/2017].

Rotation of a shooting device, for example a gun, in horizontal and vertical planes around its axis can be carried out, for example, using a rotation mechanism.

The rotation mechanism can be made in the form [http://nsat.ru/goods/povorotnoe-ustroistvo-nsat-rotator-45-az-el.html. Date of appeal: 06/14/2017].

The shooting device can be performed, for example, in the form of a gun [https://openworksengineering.com/skywall. Date of appeal: 06/14/2017].

The use of a moving mechanism, a rotation mechanism, and a shooting device made in the form of a gun will significantly reduce the time for capturing an enemy UAV without additional maneuvers when entering a position for subsequent capture, and will also make it possible to capture an enemy UAV at any height of its flight path. This technical result will increase the likelihood of completing a combat mission.

This achieves the technical result indicated in the invention.

In FIG. 1-2 are marked: 1 - unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), 2 - unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of the enemy, 3 - all-round cameras, 4 - electromagnetic waves, 5 - on-board processor, 6 - movement mechanism, 7 - rotation mechanism, 8 - cannon, 9 - capsules, 10 - net, 11 - sinkers, 12 - parachute.

The proposed method can be implemented using a device, a diagram of which is shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

When the enemy UAV 2 gets into the coverage area of the cameras 3, which receive electromagnetic waves 4 in the optical range, a signal is detected that the enemy UAV 2 is detected on board processor 5. Using the onboard processor 5, the spatial coordinates of the enemy UAV are determined 2. After determining the coordinates of the UAV enemy 2, the onboard processor 5, taking into account the range and speed of the UAV of the enemy 2, sends a signal to the movement mechanism 6, which moves the furs along the trajectory of the cross section of the surface of the fuselage MOD 7 and rotation gun 8 towards the opponent UAV 2. Then, the rotational mechanism 7 prints gun 8 at the desired angle to the enemy UAV 2 for its capture. The on-board processor 5 sends a signal to the gun 8, which in turn fires the capsule 9. At the moment of passing the given path to the enemy UAV 2, the capsule 9 opens and the network 10 with the sinkers 11 and the parachute 12 fly out, which capture the UAV of the enemy 2.

In the case of a miss, the sequence of actions for capturing is similar.

The proposed technical solution is new and has an inventive step, since there is no known public method for capturing unmanned aerial vehicles in which the capture of UAVs by an enemy UAV is not tied to a strictly specified location, but depends only on the power of the firing device, such as a gun. Also, the UAV does not make unnecessary maneuvers to reach the capture position, which significantly reduces the time to capture the enemy's UAV and thereby increases the likelihood of completing the task.

The proposed technical solution is industrially applicable, since industrially produced elements can be used for its implementation.
