Active protection system

Abstract

The invention discloses an active protection system. The active protection system comprises a target detector, a fire control computer, a plurality of flexible extensible unit launchers, and a plurality of flexible extensible protection units; the target detector detects incoming attack objects around and sends a detection result to the fire control computer; the fire control computer tracks and calculates the incoming attack objects around, determines that the incoming attack objects around pose a danger to the system, further accurately calculates the number, relative coordinates and speed of the incoming attack objects around, and sends control instructions to the flexible extensible unit launchers at corresponding positions; the flexible extensible unit launchers adjust launching angles according to the control instructions issued by the fire control computer, and launches a specified number of flexible extensible protection units. The system disclosed by the invention can activelyattack and effectively break, disperse and decelerate incoming attack objects, greatly reduces the mass of non-functional modules of a spacecraft, and improves the protective performance of the spacecraft.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of spacecraft protection, in particular to an active protection system. Background technique [0002] With the development of the aerospace industry, the number of spacecraft launched by humans into orbit is increasing, causing the number of objects in orbit to accumulate continuously, the space environment is also deteriorating, and the probability of accidents involving space debris hitting spacecraft is also increasing . In particular, tiny debris with a diameter of less than 1 cm has a very high probability of collision with a spacecraft, which is the focus of space debris protection. The development of aerospace industry, especially the manned spaceflight industry, puts forward urgent requirements for the application of space debris protection design engineering. [0003] Existing spacecraft protection systems are all passive protection systems, that is, relying on their own special structure of the s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing spacecraft protection systems are all passive protection systems, that is, relying on their own special structure of the spacecraft bulkhead to resist incoming objects, and do not have the ability to actively attack and break incoming objects, which requires a larger mass and thickness The bulkhead of the spacecraft can achieve the purpose of protecting against incoming objects such as high-speed space debris, which greatly increases the quality of the non-functional modules of the spacecraft

In addition, for some incoming targets with large volume and mass, the existing passive protection system has a large burden and poor protection performance, so it is urgent to develop a new type of protection structure
