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 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 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.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de défense contre des corps volants légers, tels que des drones. À cet effet, de l'eau, de la mousse ou similaire est apportée à l'encontre des corps volants (30) légers, afin d'interrompre ou d'empêcher le vol des corps volants, c'est-à-dire de rendre les corps volants (30) incapables de voler. L'intensité de la mesure de défense ou de la contre-défense, à savoir de choisir s'il convient d'entraîner la chute du corps volant (30) ou uniquement de modifier la trajectoire de celui-ci, est déterminante pour la mesure de défense. Le système de défense (20) permettant de se défendre contre des corps volants (30) légers comporte au moins un effecteur (2, 21-n), afin d'appliquer une mesure de défense non létale.
