Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a drone defense system.
  • Remote-controlled small aircraft are becoming more and more powerful, both in terms of their payload and in terms of their control and flight capabilities.
  • model building drones can easily be remote-controlled over long distances without the pilot standing on the ground having to keep an eye on them.
  • a method for controlling a drone defense system and a drone defense system according to the preambles of claims 1 and 11 is from US Pat JP 2014 052 138 A known. Also the US 2017/0261999 A1 deals with a system for fighting drones.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that a drone defense system can be controlled in a particularly flexible manner if the control system has a modular structure.
  • Individual peripheral devices with the associated peripheral connector can easily be exchanged, which means that the properties of the drone defense system in can be easily adapted to a new task without a central management system having to be replaced or reprogrammed as a whole.
  • a drone can be understood to mean an unmanned aircraft such as a remote-controlled aircraft, in particular up to a total weight of twenty kilograms, for example from the hobby area of model aircraft building. It can be a so-called Small Unmaned Aircraft (SUA) or a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV).
  • a drone can be a rotary wing aircraft, in particular with a plurality of rotors, for example a quadrocopter or a hexacopter. However, a fixed wing aircraft is also possible.
  • the group of peripheral devices expediently comprises a sensor, in particular for recognizing a drone feature, such as a flight noise, an optical signature or the like.
  • An effector is also useful as a peripheral device, i.e. a device for intercepting and / or destroying a drone.
  • the effector can be an interceptor missile, an explosive device, a laser or the like and can have the task of bringing a flying drone to the ground in some way.
  • a control station is also useful as a peripheral device, via which an operator can control the drone defense system.
  • the control station is expediently designed in such a way that the effector can be actuated from it, for example the interceptor missile is ignited or a defense laser is switched on.
  • the main components of the drone defense system are the central command system and the peripheral devices.
  • the central management system is divided into several peripheral connectors, each of which controls its peripheral device.
  • the peripheral connectors are expediently independently functioning modules that each control their peripheral device separately from one another.
  • the peripheral connectors with their peripheral devices expediently form a star-shaped structure around the central message core, which has at least as many arms as there are peripheral connectors, and the arms each extend from the message core via their peripheral connector to their peripheral device and, in particular, are only connected to each other in the message core.
  • the peripheral connectors are expediently only in terms of data technology connected to each other via the message core. All data that are exchanged between the peripheral connectors for system control are therefore entered in the message core.
  • Each peripheral connector can have its own input to the message core and an output to its peripheral device. Input and output are only connected to each other for data purposes through the peripheral connector.
  • a peripheral device can consist of several units.
  • a peripheral device has one or more sensors.
  • several sensors can form a peripheral device.
  • the group of peripheral devices comprises a primary sensor and a secondary sensor.
  • the two sensors each form a peripheral device, which expediently work independently of one another.
  • Both peripheral devices are each connected to the message core via a peripheral connector.
  • the peripheral connector of the primary sensor controls only this and the peripheral connector of the secondary sensor controls only the secondary sensor.
  • the peripheral connector of the secondary sensor advantageously controls it on the basis of data from the primary sensor.
  • the primary sensor is expediently a sensor that is prepared for the initial detection of a drone. It can have an all-round sensor, i.e. a sensor that is 360 ° sensitive.
  • the sensor can be an acoustic sensor. If the sensor detects an event, i.e. an event that could be a drone, the data associated with the event can be transmitted to the message core as generic data. This is done by the peripheral connector assigned to the primary sensor, which either extracts an event from the data of the primary sensor or - if the primary sensor has already extracted an event - converts the event data into a generic form.
  • the primary sensor expediently sends target information about the event to the peripheral connector, which can pass it on to the message core in a generically adapted form.
  • the target information can be two-dimensional information, that is to say a direction, for example in the form of two angles, or three-dimensional information with an additional distance component.
  • the peripheral connector of the primary sensor is advantageously designed in such a way that it filters out generic information from the information from the primary sensor and discards the rest.
  • the generic information is placed in the message core and is available to all other peripheral links, for example.
  • Generic information from the primary sensor can be information about an event that has also been converted into generic form by the peripheral connector.
  • the secondary sensor is expediently a sensor that is oriented towards a target on the basis of the directional information from the primary sensor.
  • the secondary sensor is expediently sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, in particular in the optical range, infrared range or radar range.
  • the group of peripheral devices includes a software module for data fusion of several sensors, also called a data fusion unit.

  • This data fusion unit is advantageously prepared to determine a movement track of a drone from data from several sensors.
  • the multiple sensors expediently include one or more primary sensors and one or more secondary sensors.
  • the trajectory of the drone's movement is expediently determined from a change in the data from the multiple sensors over time.
  • the movement track or data for this are expediently transmitted from the data fusion unit to its peripheral connector. After a suitable conversion into generic data, this can feed the data into the message core.
  • the secondary sensor and / or the primary sensor can be prepared to classify the target.
  • a classification of the target can be assigning the target to one of several different classes of different missiles or drones.
  • a classification of the missile expediently includes a distinction between missiles to be attacked and missiles not to be attacked. The detection of unmanned small missiles is particularly useful. If the primary sensor has not already classified the target, so this can be done by the secondary sensor, which outputs a target type, for example.
  • the target type is one of several possible target types that can classify different aircraft and also a fault type, i.e. a device that is not a device to be defended against.
  • the activity of a lawnmower was wrongly classified as an event by the primary sensor, this can for example be classified as an error type by the primary sensor, i.e. as a device that cannot be defended against.
  • the target type is set by the associated peripheral link as generic data in the message core.
  • the group of peripheral devices includes a software module for classifying a detected drone, also called a classification unit.
  • This software module expediently transmits its classification data to its peripheral connector.
  • the group of peripheral devices expediently includes an effector that can be designed as an interceptor missile.
  • the peripheral connector of the interceptor missile controls the interceptor missile based on data from the message core and possibly its own data, in particular exclusively based on the message core data and possibly its own data. For example, this data contains a movement track of the drone, so that the peripheral connector lets the interceptor missile fly towards the drone based on this data, so that the interceptor missile ends the drone's onward flight, for example by destroying the drone or capturing the drone with fibers.
  • the execution and programming of the peripheral connector can be tailored to the interceptor missile so that different interceptor missiles can be used by the associated peripheral connector.
  • the peripheral connector of the drone defense system is also replaced and the drone defense system is functional again without other peripheral connectors or peripheral devices having to be changed as a result.
  • the group of peripheral devices expediently comprises a software module for assessing the situation, expediently an object to be protected.
  • This software module also called a position evaluation unit, can be a Output degree of threat. Additionally or alternatively, it can contain information about what type of missile it is and what kind of damage it can cause. It is also useful to know where the destination is likely to fly and which environment is at risk. It also makes sense if this or another software component determines and outputs which effector can be used to defend against the drone, i.e. which effector has a sufficient degree of success for defending the drone at the current moment or probably in a future. All of this data can be fed into the message core.
  • the control station expediently comprises an output means, for example a screen, for the visual output of situation evaluation data to an operator.
  • This can now control a future action of the drone defense system by an input in an input device.
  • the operator can visually assess the position shown on the output device on the basis of the information displayed.
  • the operator can now use an input to give a defense command, on the basis of which an effector is activated, for example an interceptor missile is launched.
  • the operator is expediently provided with information that helps him to form an opinion. For example, an image of the flying drone can be displayed and, in particular, a map with a trajectory so that the operator can see where the drone is flying to.

  • the peripheral connector of the effector is expediently designed so that it has a Arming of the effector, for example a launch of the interceptor missile, is only initiated when both arming information is available.
  • the structure of the central management system and the message core can be kept simple if data is transmitted from one peripheral device to another peripheral device exclusively via the assigned peripheral connector and the message core.

The peripheral connectors 10a-28a also communicate with one another exclusively via the message core 32. Since messages are distributed from one peripheral connector 10a-28a to another via a broadcast, the information can be received by all peripheral connectors 10a-28a.

If an event is recognized, the recognizing sensor 12 sends data assigned to the event to its peripheral connector 12a. In this respect, the latter receives data about the event from one or more primary sensors 12. The sensor 12 may already be in a position to extract directional data from the event. Otherwise, this task is assigned to the peripheral connector 12a, which determines the direction data for the event from event data from several sensors 12 that recognize the event.

  • the associated peripheral connectors 20a, 22a ensure both a back and forth translation of the data from and to the message core 32 as well as a filtering of the generic data from the whole existing peripheral data and the addition of generic data with further data that the associated peripheral device 20, 22 may need for further processing of the data.

  • the situation assessment can also include a possibility of defense by the effectors 10.
  • the defense option contains the information as to whether one of the effectors 10 is able to intercept the drone 4 and, if so, expediently where and in what way. For example, an encounter point between an effector 10 and the approaching drone is displayed to the operator on the screen 34 when the effector 10 starts immediately. From this, for example optical information, the operator can see how long he has time left for a decision to start a drone defense action.
  • an effector 10 is able to repel the approaching drone 4 depends, among other things, on the type of effector 10.

  • an associated peripheral connector can be dispensed with, since the signal from the effector unlocking module 18 can be very simple and the message core 32 can already be entered as generic information.
  • a monodirectional data transmission from the effector unlocking module 18 to the message core 32 is also sufficient, since the module 18 does not need any information from the message core 32 in order to perform its task. If the drone 4 is defended against, another component is advantageous, namely the success estimator 26.
