Definitions
- the invention is concerned with a device or system for drone defense.
- the system is intended especially for stationary objects, but can also be used for moving objects.
- effectors such as machine guns, launcher with weapons, laser weapons, projectiles, etc. are used.
- a drone defense projectile is disclosed in DE 20 2016 105 245 U1. In this balls are introduced, which are connected to each other via connecting cords. A similar approach is shown in DE 20 2016 105 223 U1.
- a defense device for small, unmanned aerial vehicles is also described in DE 10 2016 21 1 371 A1.
- the defense device has a catching body adapted to catch a drone and a starting device for the catching body.
- DE 10 2015 008 365 A1 deals with a defense drone to ward off a small drone.
- the defensive drone has an elongated support member with at least one hook.
- a defensive drone according to DE 10 2015 008 296 A1 has an HPEM Device for generating a high-energy electromagnetic pulse.
- Another variant of a defensive drone is the DE 10 2015 008 255 A1 removable.
- a disposable effector ie, a plurality of threads, is proposed.
- the defense device of DE 10 2014 014 1 17 A1 uses flutter threads to bring a drone to crash.
- DE 10 2015 01 1 058 A1 proposes a system for controlling drones. It is envisaged, after detection of such a threat and penetration into a predetermined protection area to ward off them by a non-lethal measure, but at least to bring it to a crash. The main idea is to defend or kill the threat in case of non-lethal resistance but with 100% chance to destroy and defend.
- Preferred effectors of this system are multi-tube weapon. Non-lethal projectiles are plastic projectiles. It is mentioned that as effectors also water cannons are usable. Further versions are not made.
- the object of the invention is to present a measure for the defense of light missiles, such as drones, which prevent non-lethal acting at least the flight of the missile or interrupt.
- the invention is based on the idea of providing water, foam, paint or the like to the light missiles as a protective or countermeasure in order to interrupt or prevent the flight of the missiles, i. to immobilize the missiles, whereby the intensity of the defense or countermeasure depends on the necessary defense measure.
- the water can be directed by means of the device, a water thrower (effector), on the light missile.
- the water pressure is adjustable via a water hose of the water cannon.
- the water can then be released as a water surge, water surges, water rain (rain wall) or as a water barrier. It is possible to use the water pressure controllable, the degree of defense are regulated. A high water pressure can cause the drone to crash, a lower one can only change the trajectory.
- water pressure can be modulated (water surges), so that the control of the threat can not adjust to the water jet. Similar settings are possible with the foam, where the quantity is crucial.
- the foam, etc. in turn can be distributed by another device, such as spray nozzles (effector).
- another device such as spray nozzles (effector).
- Alternative means of defending light missiles are also spray adhesives (effector) etc., i. Agents which are used as e.g. Adhesive mass can influence and impede the function of the rotors of the missile. Make sure that the smoke screen created by the mist of the adhesive is sufficient to hit the incoming drone.
- the spray adhesive should not be spread too finely.
- the amount of adhesive to be applied should be adjustable.
- the transmission of the drone's optical systems can be so impaired that the operator receives no images from the drone's perspective, so that actively controlling the threat outside the operator's field of vision is nearly impossible.
- the color in the water therefore serves to prevent taking pictures of the threat.
- a similar effect can be achieved with the adhesives, through which the optics can be glued.
- the defense system for protecting an object to be protected can also be the combination of different or different countermeasures.
- the orientation of the effectors should be such that, for example, the water with and without color can reach the individual missile from below, laterally as well as from above.
- the distributed foam should preferably only hit the missile from above. As a result, the buoyancy can be canceled. If a sticky mass is applied to the missile, this mass should hit the rotors and prevent the rotors from rotating. Alternatively, the missile can also be weighted by means of adhesive so that it can no longer fly. The sticky masses should act from above on the missile.
- the effectors preferably have their own straightening drives for straightening in elevation and azimuth.
- the foam can be conventional extinguishing foam, as it is commonly used in the use of fire departments for extinguishing. Water-foam mixtures can also be used non-foamed.
- Known foam types are heavy foam, medium foam and lightweight foam. Also useful water can be used.
- the foaming agent can be mixed by admixing with the water.
- Known foaming techniques are steel tube foam and compressed air foam.
- Known methods for producing foam are the straight-ahead method, the pump premix method and the shunt method.
- Usable spray adhesive offers, for example, the company WOMA. These high-pressure guns are characterized by a modular design and flexible expandability. Operating pressures up to 3000 bar can be set here.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic or sketchy structure of a drone defense system according to the invention
- Fig. 2 sketched two possible defensive measures for drone defense.
- FIG. 1 shows a defense system 20 for repelling drone-like missiles 30, which is formed by at least one effector 2. With 2i -n several effectors, here six, are marked. These serve to protect a region 100 to be protected.
- the effectors 2 may in turn be attached or arranged at, within and / or outside of the area 100 to be monitored, eg, a building, park, etc.
- At least one monitoring sensor 1 1 with at least one sensor 12 is provided, which enables monitoring of the area 100 to be protected and the detection of a threat within a protective bell (not shown in greater detail) above the area 100.
- the protective bell can be selected identical to the area 100 to be protected but also larger.
- the installation of the sensor or the sensors 12 for detecting the threat takes place in such a way that the latter covers / covers the detection and defense bell (protective bell) around the infrastructure to be protected or the area 100 to be protected for monitoring.
- the monitoring sensor or monitoring electronics 1 1 of the system 20 is also electrically connected to a preferably central command center 10 with fire control. This command center 10 may also be located within as well as outside the area 100 to be protected.
- the effectors 2 should be positioned in such a way that with their countermeasure they can completely cover the area 100 to be protected, at least at the outer borders or these.
- At least one camera and tracker 3 (3i- n ) for tracking the respective effector 2 can be assigned to the effectors 2.
- a functional as well as local separation camera and tracker is not excluded.
- the effectors 2 can have their own directional / actuators 4 (4i- n ) in azimuth and elevation and be directed by means of this.
- the effectors 2, 3 effector sensors and straightening / actuators 4 as assemblies of the system 10 are preferably each on a platform (not shown in detail) installed.
- effectors are understood here devices for applying non-lethal countermeasures, such as the discharge of liquids, as a mist, of air, spray walls, sticky masses and the like.
- non-lethal countermeasures such as the discharge of liquids, as a mist, of air, spray walls, sticky masses and the like.
- Such effectors may be water cannons with steel pipes, spray nozzles, air hoses, high-pressure guns, etc.
- the effectors can be individually, ie individually, with air, water, etc. supplied. Alternatives, such as centralized supply and distribution to the individual effectors, are not excluded.
- the command post 10 For example, from the monitoring sensor 1 1 (12) one or more approaching, especially light missile 30, such as remote-controlled drones, recognized and tracked. This information is forwarded to the command post 10. It checks whether it is a threat against which a countermeasure is necessary. The check may be performed by an operator and / or automatically, for example, by measuring the speed at which the threat approaches or disappears. For initiating the countermeasure or the countermeasures, it is then determined in the command center 10, for example from the spatial position of the effectors 2, which or which of the effectors 2i -n has a promising position for combating the approaching threat or the approaching threats. The selection can also be made by the operator. Alternatively, however, also offers a computer-aided selection, similar to a fire control computer.
- the selected effectors 2 can be quickly aligned with the threat (s) by means of their own straightening system 4 in elevation and / or azimuth.
- the necessary control signals for the alignment determines the fire control system and passes them to the direction / actuators 4 on.
- the data of the effectorsensorik 3 and / or a manual control for the alignment of the selected effectors 2 can be used.
- the fire release is usually done by an operator. Alternatively, the release can also be done automatically.
- the effectors 2, 2i -n for example the water cannon, the spray nozzles, the air hose and / or the high-pressure gun, etc., can be individually aligned by means of the straightening systems 4, 4i- n .
- the defensive measure on the drone 30 can additionally be reacted in a very special way.
- the defensive measure in the water cannon as a water surge, rain (rain wall) or as a water barrier are delivered.
- the degree of defense can be regulated via the water pressure.
- a high water pressure can cause the drone 30 to crash, a smaller one can only change the trajectory. Similar settings of the amount or the pressure are also possible with the foam and adhesive etc.
- the defense measure can be delivered directly (arrow 14) to the drone 30 or indirectly (arrow 13), i. from above in the form of an elevation.
- arrow 14 a direct defense 14
- the defense with an elevation 13 forces the drone 30 against the ground 31.
- This defense measure is useful if the drone 30 is to come to rest within the area 100. But also a defense from below against the drone 30 is possible.
