Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for damaging objects by means of directed electromagnetic radiation.
- Such radiation is used to combat objects that are at a certain distance from a source of harmful radiation, such objects usually being (equipment) objects, ammunition and / or systems that can be assigned to an opponent or that are placed for training purposes have been.
- objects do not have to be static, they can also move.
- This also explicitly means 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 devices in order to initially recognize the objects to be combated as targets, to classify them if necessary, to "track" the potential target object after a defense strategy has been created. (to be tracked) and to align the damaging radiation as defensive radiation on the object or a specific point on the object ("aim point").
- Such devices for damaging objects by means of directed electromagnetic radiation are known, for example, from US Pat US 2006/0022115 A1 .
- imaging optical systems such as cameras and non-imaging systems such as position sensors can be used as the optical system.
- These optical systems are usually sensitive to one or more specific 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 particularly suitable for combating an object identified as a target, which is why at least one damaging radiation source is provided which applies electromagnetic defense radiation to the at least one object, which makes very precise tracking of the target object necessary.
- the target usually has to be actively illuminated.
- a lighting device must regularly be provided which actively illuminates the at least one object to be damaged by at least one illuminating radiation source with illuminating radiation, at least at times.
- the aforementioned damage devices with their laser radiation sources are provided with lighting systems in which the separate installation of tracking and / or directional systems is costly and their tracking values or determined trajectories of target objects must be transferred to the coordinate system of the damage radiation source in order to combat them.
- the solution therefore consists in particular in a device of the initially mentioned type of integrating the lighting device on the device in such a way that the lighting radiation and the damaging radiation have or use a common exit aperture and the damaging radiation and the lighting radiation have an essentially collinear beam path.
- This avoids further problems, such as, for example, the simultaneous tracking of the beams on the target object with different directional systems; in addition, different visual axes can be avoided in the two systems, so that no parallax has to be compensated.
- a common aperture is available for the damaging radiation and the lighting system, and the radiation sources for the active lighting and the damaging radiation can be coupled 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) become more compact, and finally the connection of alternative illumination laser sources is also simplified.
- the collinearity of the damaging radiation and the radiation of the active lighting 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 can be formed, for example, by at least one steel combiner (beam combiner) in turn, for example, it can be formed 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 implemented in a suitable manner with high degrees of transmission and efficiency also with a diffractive optical element (DOE) as coupling means, in which diffraction takes place at an optical grating.
- DOE diffractive optical element
- a coupling means of its own is the use of different portions of the overall aperture by the damaging radiation and the illuminating radiation, it being conceivable that one forms a ring-shaped portion from a geometrical point of view, while the other occupies a central portion or portions of the overall aperture arranged next to one another are used separately .
- the optical receiving system is also integrated into the overall system in a collinear manner, so 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.
- a second coupling means is provided in another version, that makes this available.
- the same types of coupling means can be used in the second coupling means as in the first coupling means (beam combiner, beam splitter, interference filter, DOE); the first and second coupling means may also be identical
- the optical system is an imaging optical system, such as cameras, or a non-imaging optical system, such as for Example position sensors, trained.
- the optical system comprises at least one detector, in particular a plurality of detectors which are sensitive to one or more specific frequencies or frequency ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. These can be frequencies in the range of the visible spectrum or the infrared spectrum.
- the active lighting is provided with a plurality of illuminating radiation sources, the frequencies or frequency ranges of which are influenced by the sensitivities of the
- Detectors of the optical system are tuned so that to obtain a low noise. sufficiently strong, traceable signal no separate adjustment or calibration processes are necessary.
- advantageous embodiments of the device according to the invention can have illuminating radiation sources that are generated by any combination of coherent and / or incoherent, polarized and / or unpolarized, radiation sources is formed, which are pulsed, operated in pulse groups, modulated or continuously (continuous wave).
- radiation sources with different properties and frequencies can be superimposed 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 the parameters of the individual radiation sources can be freely set and / or regulated, with in particular the power, polarization, beam diameter, pulse duration and / or pulse frequency being adjustable or controllable.
- the frequencies or frequency ranges of the radiation sources of active lighting and damaging radiation correspond, and these respective radiation sources are operated in time-division multiplexing mode while the object is being damaged.
- the said device 10 is provided with a base 12 on which further components of the device 10 are supported or stored.
- a substantially cylindrical beam directing unit 14 which is provided for the beam conditioning and which is not
- the laser sources shown in greater detail namely the damaging radiation source 16 and a plurality of illuminating radiation sources 18, the latter being assigned to an illuminating device 40 which is used to actively illuminate an object to be tracked or damaged.
- the exit aperture 20 can be seen on the beam directing unit facing the viewer.
- 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, as a result of which the direction of the exiting radiation is subject to a change.
- the Fig. 2 turning to one recognizes there as well as in the Fig.1 the base 12, the beam guiding means 22 and the beam directing unit 14, which, as a so-called “beam director", gives the direction to the collinearly guided, coupled beams of the damaging radiation source 16 and the illuminating radiation sources 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 beam guiding means 22 and the beam directing unit 14 which, as a so-called “beam director” gives the direction to the collinearly guided, coupled beams of the damaging radiation source 16 and the illuminating radiation sources 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 rays assigned to the different radiation sources 16, 18 use the common exit aperture 20, but have different radial components at this exit aperture 20, with the damaging radiation being assigned the central part of the exit aperture 20, while the illuminating radiation from the active lighting is assigned to the outside occupies radial portion of the exit aperture 20, which surrounds the central portion.
- control unit 50 in which the diverse computing and control tasks of the device 10 are generally to be combined and to which the task is assigned a reliable one from the multitude of parameters of detection and detection To generate defense against an object to be damaged by means of the device 10.
- the above invention thus shows a device 10 for damaging 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 damaging radiation source 16 which the at least one object with a electromagnetic damaging radiation is applied and with a lighting device which at least temporarily actively illuminates the at least one object to be damaged by a plurality of illuminating radiation sources 18 with an illuminating radiation, the lighting device being integrated on the device in such a way that the illuminating radiation and the damaging radiation have a common exit aperture 20 and / or use.
