Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the damage of objects by means of directed electromagnetic radiation.
  • Such radiation is used to control objects located some distance away from a source of damage radiation, such objects usually being (equipment) objects, ammunition and / or systems which may or may not be associated with an adversary Training purposes have been placed.
  • objects usually being (equipment) objects, ammunition and / or systems which may or may not be associated with an adversary Training purposes have been placed.
  • These objects do not have to be static but can move. This also explicitly refers to flying objects (UAVs, ammunition, ...) that move on a certain trajectory.
  • Optical systems which detect and process radiation emitted by at least one object to be damaged are used on such apparatuses in order to initially detect the objects to be combatted as targets, if necessary classify them, to "track” the potential target object after creating a defense strategy. (tracking) and align the damage radiation as a protective radiation on the object or a specific point of the object ("aim point").
  • optical systems such as cameras, as well as non-imaging systems such as position sensors come into question.
  • These optical systems are typically sensitive to one or more particular frequencies or frequency ranges of the electromagnetic Spectrum. Usually, these frequencies are in the range of the visible spectrum or in the infrared spectrum.
  • high-energy laser radiation is suitable for combating an object identified as a target, which is why at least one damage radiation source is provided which applies an electromagnetic defense radiation to the at least one object, which necessitates very accurate tracking of the target object.
  • the target usually has to be actively illuminated for the precision required in this case.
  • a lighting device is to be provided on a regular basis, which at least temporarily actively illuminates the at least one object to be damaged by at least one illumination radiation source with illumination radiation.
  • the damage devices mentioned are provided with their laser radiation sources with illumination systems in which the separate installation of tracking and / or straightening systems is costly and their tracking values or determined trajectories of target objects for controlling them are to be transferred to the coordinate system of the damage radiation source.
  • the solution therefore consists in particular in a device of the above mentioned type, to integrate the illumination device to the device such that the illumination radiation and the damage radiation have a common exit aperture or use this.
  • the illumination device to integrate the illumination radiation to the device such that the illumination radiation and the damage radiation have a common exit aperture or use this.
  • a common aperture for damage radiation and illumination system is available and can couple the radiation sources for the active illumination and the damage radiation in a suitable manner.
  • separate tracking / straightening systems become superfluous, the optical system and a beam straightening unit (for example in the form of a so-called beam director) becomes more compact, and finally also the connection of alternative illumination laser sources is simplified.
  • the damage radiation and the illumination radiation may have a substantially collinear beam path. Due to this collinearity of the two systems different visual axes can be avoided, whereby no parallax must be compensated.
  • the collinearity of the damage radiation and the radiation of the active illumination can be achieved by a suitable coupling, for which purpose a first coupling means is expediently provided in a further embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • such a coupling means may for example be formed by at least one steel combiner (beam combiner), which in turn may be formed, for example, by means of beam splitters or interference filters in the manner of dichroic mirrors.
  • the beam shaping in the device according to the invention can be realized in a suitable manner with high transmission and efficiencies even with a diffractive optical element (DOE) as a coupling means in which a diffraction takes place at an optical grating.
  • DOE diffractive optical element
  • a coupling means of its own kind forms the use of different portions of the total aperture by the damage radiation and the illumination radiation, wherein it is conceivable that one geometrically forms an annular portion, while the other occupies a central portion or portions of the total aperture arranged side by side are used separately ,
  • the handling overall even further simplifying development of the device may consist in that expediently an optical system with one or a plurality of detectors also uses the common aperture of damage radiation and illumination radiation.
  • the optical receiving system is collinear integrated into the overall system, thus, the common aperture is not only used for damage radiation and active illumination with illumination radiation sources, but also for the optical system with detectors.
  • first and second coupling means are also identical
  • An embodiment of the device, with which the objects to be damaged can be identified, classified and tracked using "emitted radiation” can advantageously be optical systems which image optical systems such as cameras, but also non-imaging systems such as position sensors come into question. Generally, these may be referred to as detectors which are advantageously sensitive to one or more particular frequencies or frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. These can be frequencies in the range of the visible spectrum or the infrared spectrum, for example.
  • the active illumination may be provided with at least one or more illumination radiation sources whose frequencies or frequency ranges are or are tuned in particular to sensitivities of detectors of the optical system, such that they can be obtained a low noise. sufficiently strong, trackable signal no separate tuning or Einmessvone are necessary.
  • advantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention can comprise illumination radiation sources, which can be generated by any combination of cohesive and / or incoherent, polarized and / or unpolarized, radiation sources is formed, which are pulsed, in pulse groups, modulated or continuously (continuous wave) operated.
  • radiation sources with different properties and frequencies may be provided in superimposition for the illumination radiation.
  • a high degree of flexibility in the use of the device according to the invention is achieved with developments in which parameters of the individual radiation sources are freely adjustable and / or adjustable, wherein in particular the power, polarization, beam diameter, pulse duration and / or pulse frequency can be adjusted or regulated.
  • the frequencies or frequency ranges of the radiation sources correspond to active illumination and damage radiation
  • an advantageous further development may be to operate the respective radiation sources in time division multiplexing operation. At certain times then only one radiation source is active at a time, which reduces the overall power requirements.
  • a device designated as a whole by 10 for damaging objects which are not shown further by means of directed electromagnetic radiation is provided with a base 12 on which further components of the device 10 are supported or stored.
  • said device 10 is provided with a base 12 on which further components of the device 10 are supported or stored.
  • a substantially cylindrically shaped beam directing unit 14 which is provided for the beam conditioning and not shown in more detail laser sources, namely the damage radiation source 16 and the illumination radiation source 18, the latter being associated with a lighting device 40, the active Illumination of an object to be tracked or damaged.
  • the outlet aperture 20 can be seen at the beam-directing unit facing the observer.
  • the beam-directing unit can be manipulated by means of a beam-guiding means 22 in such a way that the normal vector of the aperture plane changes its orientation, whereby the direction of the exiting radiation is subjected to a change.
  • the base 12 the beam-guiding means 22 and the beam-directing unit 14 which, as a so-called "beam director", gives direction to the collimated, guided rays of the damage radiation source 16 and the illumination radiation source 18 and, as a kind of telescope, also an optical system 30 with detectors 32 which in turn detects the radiation reflected by the tracked object and makes it available for further processing.
  • the beams associated with the different radiation sources 16, 18 use the common exit aperture 20, but have different radial components at this exit aperture 20, the damage radiation being assigned the central part of the exit aperture 20 as an example, while the illumination radiation of the active illumination is assigned to the outside radial portion of the exit aperture 20 occupies that encompasses the central portion.
  • first and second coupling means 34, 36 are suitable first and second coupling means 34, 36 which can not be seen in greater detail.
  • control unit in which the various computing and control task to be generally united to the device 10 and the task falls, from the variety of parameters of detection and detection a reliable To generate defense against an object to be damaged by means of the device 10.
  • the above invention thus shows a device 10 for the damage of objects by means of directed electromagnetic radiation, with an optical system 30 which detects and processes radiation emitted by at least one object to be damaged, with at least one damage radiation source 16, the at least one object with a subjected to electromagnetic damage radiation and with a lighting device which at least temporarily actively illuminates the at least one object to be damaged by at least one illumination radiation source 18 with an illumination radiation, wherein the illumination device is integrated on the device such that the illumination radiation and the damage radiation have a common exit aperture 20 and / or use.
