Description
- The following invention relates to a line apparatus for inhibiting an airborne target, and a method of using such.
- It is known to intercept an airborne target, for example a light unmanned rotorcraft, by firing a net towards the target. The target rotorcraft may then tend to become at least partially disabled either by interference of the net lines with the rotors, or by the attachment of the net and the associated extra mass affecting flight. However, the disabled target rotorcraft may still pose a threat due to the difficulty in controlling its landing.
- According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a line apparatus for inhibiting an airborne target comprising: at least one line comprising: a flexible tubular member, having a wall and defining a bore; and a fluid adhesive housed within the flexible tubular member, wherein the flexible tubular member is configured to express the fluid adhesive through the wall.
- Thus there is provided a line which can tend to attach to the target by way of bonding, and thereby may attach to non-moving parts of the target, such as the housing or nacelle.
- The flexible tubular member may comprise: a plurality of slits through the wall, which slits are configured to remain generally closed, but on deformation of the flexible tubular member can open to permit the expression of the adhesive.
- The slits may follow a portion of the circumference of the tubular member.
- The wall of the tubular member may be in the form of a porous matrix such that the fluid adhesive may be urged to the outer diameter of the tubular member.
- The at least one line may be a plurality of lines.
- The line apparatus may further comprise an aircraft, from which is suspended the at least one line.
- The aircraft may comprise a frame, from which is suspended the at least one line.
- The line apparatus may comprise at least one further type of line, being of a different type to the at least one line.
- By providing different types of lines, more possibilities of attaching the aircraft to the target can be provided, increasing the chance of the aircraft connecting to the target. In particular, the attachment may come about from a line tangling with a rotor or propeller or other moving part of the target.
- The at least one further type of line may be thinner than the at least one line.
- The at least one further type of line may be a plurality of the further type of line.
- For a line apparatus having a frame and two types of line, the frame may comprise: an inner member; and an outer member, wherein the at least one line is attached to the inner member, and the at least one further type of line is attached to the outer member.
- Such frame features contribute to the overall provision of a consistently arranged set of lines, which can tend to provide reliability.
- The aircraft may be a rotorcraft, and may have a mass of 25kg or less, and may be remotely or autonomously piloted.
- According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of intercepting a target comprising: - providing at least one line comprising: a flexible tubular member, having a wall and defining a bore; and a fluid adhesive housed within the flexible tubular member, wherein the flexible tubular member is configured to express the fluid adhesive through the wall, and - applying the at least one line to the target, such that the line may bond to the target.
- Thus the target may be not only inhibited but also brought under the control of whatever the flexible tubular member is mounted to. Where the flexible tubular member is mounted on an aircraft, that aircraft can transport the target away to a safer area.
- So that the invention may be well understood, embodiments thereof will now be discussed with reference to the following figures, of which:
-
Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional representation of an aircraft according to the invention; -
Figure 2a shows a plan view of a variant frame for use with aircraft; -
Figure 2b shows a plan view of an alternative frame for use with the aircraft; -
Figure 2c shows a plan view of a further alternative frame for use with the aircraft; -
Figure 3 shows a three-dimensional representation of a tubular member for use with the aircraft; -
Figure 4a shows a detail of theFigure 3 member in a first condition; and -
Figure 4b shows a detail of theFigure 3 member in a second condition. - Referring to
Figure 1 there is shown generally at 10 an aircraft device. Theaircraft device 10 comprises anaircraft 100 which carries a payload 200. - The
aircraft 100 is in the form of a light weight rotorcraft (e.g. under 25kg) having a generally planar form and having fourrotors 102 supported off acentral housing 104, therotors 102 being evenly distributed at the horizontal periphery of theaircraft 100. - The payload 200 comprises a trapeze mount 202, a
frame 210,first lines 206 andsecond lines 208. - The mount 202 is attached at one end to the
central housing 104 of theaircraft 100, and at the other end to theframe 210, and is configured such that in stable horizontal flight theframe 210 can hang in a generally horizontal plane. - The
frame 210 comprises anouter loop member 212, which has the form of an annular ring in the present embodiment. It is, more specifically, theouter loop member 212 by which the mount 202 is attached to theframe 210. - The
frame 210 further comprises aninner loop member 214, which also has the form of an annular ring, but is of diminished dimensions relative to theouter loop member 212 and is located concentrically therewith. - Connecting
struts 216 attach theouter loop member 212 and theinner loop member 214 to one another. - Each of a first set of
lines 208 is attached at one end to theouter ring 212, and hangs free at its other end. Theseouter lines 208 are spaced at regular intervals. - Each of a second set of
lines 206 is attached at one end to theinner ring 214, and hangs free at its other end. Theseinner lines 206 are spaced at regular intervals. - The first set of
lines 208 are thinner than the second set oflines 206. The first set oflines 208 have a diameter of between 0.1mm to 2mm, and more preferably between 0.4mm and 0.7mm. Accordingly the first, outer set oflines 208 are particularly suitable for tangling with propellers or rotors. - The second set of
lines 206 have a diameter of between 3mm and 8mm, and more preferably between 4mm and 6mm. Accordingly, the second, inner set oflines 206 have the volumetric capacity to offer enhanced drone inhibiting provisions. - Both line types of line are of generally the same length.
- Further embodiments of frames are shown in
Figures 2a, b, and c . -
Figure 2a shows a frame having loop-style members, and here there are three concentricannular members First type lines 208 may be hung from theoutermost member 302, andsecond type lines 206 may be hung from theinnermost members -
Figure 2b shows aframe 400 having linear members where the outer member comprises first and secondseparate members inner member 404. All three members are substantially parallel, of the same length, are coplanar, and are spaced apart at regular intervals.First type lines 208 may be hung from theoutermost members second type lines 206 may be hung from theinnermost member 404. -
Figure 2c shows aframe 450 having linear members each of which is angled at its midpoint create a chevron form. Lines are arranged in a manner corresponding to theFigure 2b embodiment and as such theframe 450 comprises a pair of outer members which are either side of a central member. The members are parallel and spaced at regular intervals. - In operation, an
aircraft device 10 may be used to intercept a target rotorcraft by flying theaircraft device 10 over the target rotorcraft, such that the lines may interfere with the target rotorcraft. - A particular interference mechanism would involve the lines becoming wound around the rotors of the target rotorcraft. This would tend to inhibit the rotation of the rotors, and in turn the ability of the target rotorcraft to remain airborne. Moreover, this would tend to tether the
aircraft device 10 to the target rotorcraft so as to enable the inhibited target rotorcraft to be dragged to a more favourable location for further neutralisation. - As a variant to the lines described above, an adhesive-
expelling line 500 shown inFigure 3 may be used as either or both of the first and second type of lines. - The
line 500 comprises a flexibletubular member 502. Thetubular member 502 provides a wall 508 and abore 507. The wall 508 contains anadhesive fluid 505 within thebore 507. - Further, the wall 508 is provided with a plurality of
slits 504. The plurality ofslits 504 are arranged over the surface of themember 502 and extend through the thickness of the wall 508. - Each
slit 504 is generally biased to remain closed as shown inFigure 4a , particularly when themember 500 is in an equilibrium position (without any bending stress). - However, each slit is further configured, in certain circumstances, to facilitate the expression of the
adhesive fluid 505. More particularly each slit is configured to, in certain circumstance, open up to provide a channel between thebore 507 and the outer surface 509 of themember 502. - To this end, as shown in
Figure 4b , each slit 504 is in the form of an elongate cut defining an axis S. Each axis S is arranged to be aligned with the circumference C of themember 502 such that axial bending which leads to tension along one side of themember 502 will tend to open up slits at the intension side, and allow adhesive to flow from the bore to the surface of themember 502. - Accordingly, when the adhesive-expressing
line 500 is used in conjunction with theaircraft device 10 it offers a further mechanism whereby the line may interfere with a target rotorcraft and thereby tend to inhibit and control the motion of the target rotorcraft. Particularly theline 500 may, as it comes into contact with the target rotorcraft and wraps around it, tend to express adhesive 505 onto the surface 509 of theline 500. - This expressed adhesive 505 may inhibit the target rotorcraft by either: transferring from the
line 500 to the target rotorcraft and clogging up its mechanisms; or by helping to bond theline 500 to the target rotorcraft whereupon theaircraft 100 becomes physically connected to the target rotorcraft and can drag the target rotorcraft to another, more desirable (e.g. safer) location. - Whilst in the above example the lines are described as inhibiting a target rotorcraft, it is contemplated that the apparatuses and methods would be applicable to other target or hostile aircraft.
- For example the lines discussed could be suitable for tangling with a propeller aircraft.
- For example the adhesive-expressing
line 500 operates in such a way that it may bond to any surface which tends to deform theline 500. Accordingly it may bond to target aircraft which lack rotors or propellers (e.g. jet engine driven aircraft). - In general, the airborne targets contemplated here are lightweight (e.g. under 25 kg) and unmanned. Such may be colloquially referred to as 'drones'.
