Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of missile guidance control, and in particular relates to a roll angle derotation measurement system and method for a laser beam-riding guided missile based on polarized light. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent ammunition refers to ammunition that integrates advanced information technology and artificial intelligence technology, giving it the ability to autonomously perceive, make decisions and execute tasks. This type of ammunition can adjust the flight path in real time during flight to improve strike accuracy and combat effectiveness. The development of intelligent ammunition is an important direction for the development of modern military technology, which will greatly improve the combat effectiveness and survivability of weapon systems. Among them, laser beam-riding guided ammunition has become an important development field and direction of intelligent ammunition due to its advantages of high guidance accuracy, low cost, small collateral damage, fast response time and high combat effectiveness.

[0003] Laser beam riding guidance is a precision guidance technology mainly used in weapon systems such as missiles and artillery shells. Its working principle is to aim at the target through a laser illuminator and continuously emit a laser beam. The laser receiver located at the tail of the missile receives the laser signal and controls the missile to fly along the center of the laser beam until it hits the target. In the laser beam riding guidance system, the laser beam is used as a reference for navigation and positioning. The missile needs to measure the roll information between the missile axis and the laser field, including the roll angle, roll speed, roll direction, etc., to accurately control the missile's posture and make it move toward the center of the laser field.

[0004] At present, the commonly used solutions for measuring the roll angle in laser beam riding guidance can be divided into two categories. One is the measurement technology based on accelerometers and micro-silicon gyroscopes. This technology uses accelerometers and micro-silicon gyroscopes to measure the roll angle. Accelerometers can measure the acceleration of objects, while micro-silicon gyroscopes can measure angular velocity. However, this method has a large measurement error due to the overload problem of the projectile. The other is a measurement method based on geomagnetic / gyroscope information and GPS. This method uses geomagnetic navigation and GPS's high overload resistance, combined with gyroscope information to estimate the roll angle of the projectile. However, this method requires the relevant information to be loaded in advance when measuring the projectile's attitude, which increases the complexity of the overall system.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] This embodiment provides a roll angle derotation measurement system for a laser beam-riding guided missile based on polarized light. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a laser illuminator for emitting polarized laser to generate a polarized laser field; a polarization detector assembly, which is arranged on a side of the target projectile close to the laser illuminator and is located together with the target projectile in the polarized laser field.

[0042] In this embodiment, the laser irradiator generates polarized laser light through a polarized light source. In order to ensure that the output power of the laser irradiator is as small as possible, the polarized light source is coupled with a polarization-maintaining fiber. In this embodiment, a polarizer with a high extinction ratio is arranged in front of the laser irradiator to generate a polarized light source.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the polarization detector assembly includes an optical focusing component, a four-quadrant detector, an accelerometer, a detection circuit and a signal processing module.

[0044] Specifically, the four-quadrant detector, the detection circuit and the signal processing module are connected in sequence; the accelerometer is connected to the signal processing module, and is used to detect the gravity direction of the target projectile and send it to the signal processing module. In order to reduce the volume of the system, the surface of the four-quadrant detector close to the laser illuminator is provided with a four-quadrant polarizer, each quadrant polarizer generates a polarized light signal of different intensity, the four-quadrant detector is used to convert each quadrant polarized light signal into each quadrant electrical signal, the detection circuit is used to convert each quadrant electrical signal into each quadrant digital signal, the signal processing module is used to calculate the roll angle and roll direction of the target projectile according to each quadrant digital signal and the gravity direction of the target projectile, and the roll angle of the target projectile is calculated by analyzing the difference in light intensity signals received by polarizers at different angles. The optical focusing component is provided on the side of the four-quadrant detector close to the laser illuminator, and is used to focus the polarized light on the four-quadrant polarizer.

[0045] Furthermore, the polarization angles of the first to fourth quadrants of the four-quadrant polarizer are respectively recorded as , , and , polarization angles of quadrants 1 to 4 , , and When the target missile is at different angles, each quadrant will respond to different light signal values, and the rolling angle of the target missile is calculated based on the relationship between the light signal values.

[0046] In this embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the polarization angles of the four-quadrant polarizer are 0°, 45°, 90° and -45° in the order of 2143 quadrants.

[0047] The detection circuit includes four branches, which are respectively connected to the quadrants of the four-quadrant detector. Each branch includes a preamplifier, a low-pass filter, an amplifier and an A / D converter connected in sequence; the output end of the A / D converter is connected to a signal processing module.

[0048] Specifically, the four-quadrant detector converts the polarized light passing through the four-quadrant polarizer into a corresponding electrical signal, which is sampled and held after passing through a preamplifier, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier. The signal processing module sends a synchronous sampling signal to the A / D converter and receives the digital signal after A / D conversion for processing. The angular position of the roller is calculated based on the relative signal strengths of the detectors in the four polarization directions.

[0049] In this embodiment, FPGA is used as a signal processing module to provide drive and control signals for the four-quadrant detector and the A / D sampling circuit, and also to calculate the roll angle and determine the roll direction of the received sampling information.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to calculate the roll angle and roll direction based on the sampled data, a rectangular coordinate system is established in the polarized laser field, and a target missile body coordinate system is established. Figure 5 As shown, the emission direction of the polarized laser is defined as perpendicular to the paper surface, the polarization direction of the polarized laser is taken as the y-axis, and upward is defined as the positive direction, the direction parallel to the paper surface and perpendicular to the y-axis is taken as the x-axis, and rightward is defined as the positive direction, and a rectangular coordinate system xoy is established. At the same time, the target projectile is located at a point z in the rectangular coordinate system, and the target projectile coordinate system is defined as AOB. The initialization of the accelerometer defines that the downward gravity of the projectile is in the same direction as the A' axis of the coordinate system. As the projectile rotates, the angle between the A' axis and the direction of the gravity of the projectile is α. Figure 5 The four-quadrant polarizers shown in the figure correspond to the four quadrants of the AOB coordinate system respectively. When the target projectile rolls, the angle θ between the target projectile coordinate system AOB and the rectangular coordinate system xoy is the required rolling angle.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] This embodiment provides a measurement method based on the embodiment 1 in combination with the specific polarization angle. The laser beam is emitted from the laser irradiator and transmitted through the atmospheric channel. The atmospheric channel generally contains molecules and suspended particles as well as turbulence caused by uneven temperature and air pressure. Each of them can change the distribution space and instantaneous characteristics of the laser irradiance. These changes include absorption, scattering, intensity fluctuations and laser depolarization. In general, the atmosphere has the following two effects on the transmission of the laser beam: one is atmospheric attenuation, and the other is atmospheric turbulence.

[0053] For current laser illuminators, after long-distance transmission, on the one hand, the laser spot on the receiving plane where the detector is located will spread to a spot of several meters in size, and the light intensity that the detector can receive will continue to decay as the detector moves away; on the other hand, the light intensity distribution of the laser spot on the receiving plane is not uniform due to the influence of atmospheric turbulence, and due to the laser depolarization effect, part of the light emitted by the laser will become stray light that the system does not need. Therefore, in the process of solving the roll angle through polarization, it is necessary to consider the change of light intensity and the influence of stray light on the solution.

[0054] Taking the above situation into consideration, the present method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: receiving digital signals of each quadrant in the four-quadrant polarizer and the gravity direction of the target projectile, wherein each digital signal of each quadrant includes the light signal intensity of each quadrant polarizer.

[0056] The light intensity before the polarizer in each quadrant after being focused by the optical focusing component is expressed as , expressed as:

[0057] ;

[0058] in, represents the intensity of linearly polarized light attenuated by the atmosphere, Indicates the intensity of stray light generated by laser depolarization effect.

[0059] When the target missile is rolling, the angle between the transmission axis of the four-quadrant polarizer and the polarization direction of the laser emitted by the laser irradiator is constantly changing. Since the polarizers in each quadrant differ by 45°, according to Malus's law, I=I0cos 2 (θ)‌, so the light signal intensity of each quadrant polarizer under polarized laser irradiation is expressed as:

[0060] ;

[0061] Will = , = , = , = Substituting into the above formula, we get:

[0062] .

[0063] The light intensity of each quadrant polarizer is a signal group with a 1 / 2I0 background noise and a phase difference of π / 4, so the size of the electrical signal generated by its photoelectric conversion is also a signal group with a 1 / 2 I0 background noise and a phase difference of π / 4. Figure 6 As shown, the relative values ​​of the optical signals of each quadrant polarizer are shown when the roller is at different angles relative to the polarization direction of the irradiator laser.

[0064] Step 2: Based on the light signal intensity of the polarizers in each quadrant, and according to the polarization angles in quadrants one to four that are orthogonal to each other, an intermediate expression of the rolling angle is calculated.

[0065] Since 0° and 90°, 45° and -45° are orthogonal to each other, the difference between 0° and 90°, 45° and -45° is expressed as:

[0066] ;

[0067] Furthermore, by ratioing the above two equations, we can get:

[0068] ;

[0069] ;

[0070] From the above formula, we can know that There is a unique solution between (-π / 4, +π / 4). Figure 7 As shown, I2 / I1 is a periodic function with a period of π / 2. Therefore, during the rotation of the projectile, the electrical signals output from the four quadrants are solved to obtain an I2 / I1 value corresponding to four angle values. The next step is to determine the specific angle value from these four angles.

[0071] Step 3: Determine the roll angle and roll direction of the target projectile relative to the polarized laser field according to the intermediate expression of the roll angle and the gravity direction of the target projectile.

[0072] The steps to determine the roll angle are as follows:

[0073] (1) Determine the angle α between the gravity direction of the target projectile and the negative direction of the longitudinal axis of the target projectile coordinate system by using an accelerometer. If α is between 0 and π / 2, the roll angle of the target projectile is between 0 and π / 2 or between 3π / 2 and 2π; if α is between π / 2 and π, the roll angle of the target projectile is between π / 2 and 3π / 2.

[0074] (2) When I2 / I1 is positive, the roll angle of the target projectile is between 0 and π / 4 or between 3π / 2 and 7π / 4; when I2 / I1 is negative, the roll angle of the target projectile is between π / 4 and π / 2 or between 7π / 4 and 2π;

[0075] (3) The unique value of the roll angle is solved according to the polarity of I1 and I2. The cosine value of the angle α in the gravity direction G is defined as g, and the positive and negative polarities of the solution values ​​of I2 / I1, g, I1, and I2 are divided according to the range of the roll angle θ to obtain the data shown in Table 1.

[0076] Table 1 The positive and negative polarity of the I2 / I1, g, I1, and I2 solution values ​​corresponding to the range of the roll angle θ

[0077] θ <![CDATA[I1 / I2]]> g <![CDATA[I1]]> <![CDATA[I2]]> 0~π / 4 + + + + π / 4~π / 2 - + + - π / 2~3π / 4 + - - - 3π / 4~π - - - + π~5π / 4 + - + + 5π / 4~3π / 2 - - + - 3π / 2~7π / 4 + + - - 7π / 4~2π - + - +

[0078] In summary, the roll angle of the projectile relative to the laser polarization field can be uniquely determined based on the solution values ​​of I2 / I1, I1, I2 and the solution value of the accelerometer for the gravity direction G. The roll angle calculated by this method can remove the factor of light intensity, without considering the uniformity of light intensity in the plane and the attenuation of light caused by the movement of the projectile. Instant settlement can be performed through the real-time four-quadrant signal. At the same time, the difference will automatically remove the natural light I Z , effectively reducing the impact of stray light on the calculation results.

[0079] The steps to determine the rolling direction are as follows:

[0080] (1) After confirming the roll angle of the current sampling period, continue to solve the roll angle in the subsequent sampling periods.

[0081] After the roll angle θ1 at time t1 is calculated, after a sampling period Δt, the roll angle at this moment is θ2. During the solution process, the obtained change relationship between I1(θ1) and I1(θ2), I2(θ1) and I2(θ2) is related to time. According to this time relationship, the roll direction of the projectile in the Δt time period can be known.

[0082] (2) Determine the polarity of the optical signal intensity difference I1 and I2 through the roll angle at different sampling periods, and confirm the roll direction based on the polarity of I1 and I2.

[0083] When the sampling period Δt of the detection system is determined, the roll angle corresponding to one sampling period Δt is also determined. In this embodiment, the angle corresponding to one sampling period Δt changes by π / 8, and the polarities of the solution values ​​of I1 and I2 can be obtained, as shown in Table 2. Then +, - and 0 are binary-coded, and + is set to represent 1, - and 0 to represent 0, and the coding results in Table 3 can be obtained.

[0084] Table 2 Polarity of the calculated values ​​of I1 and I2

[0085] 0 π / 8 π / 4 3π / 8 π / 2 5π / 8 3π / 4 7π / 8 π <![CDATA[I1]]> + + 0 - - - 0 + + <![CDATA[I2]]> 0 + + + 0 - - - 0

[0086] Table 3 Binary encoding based on the polarity of the calculated values ​​of I1 and I2

[0087] 0 π / 8 π / 4 3π / 8 π / 2 5π / 8 3π / 4 7π / 8 π <![CDATA[I1]]> 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 <![CDATA[I2]]> 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0

[0088] As shown in Table 3, it is only necessary to continuously sample three times to obtain three sets of (I1, I2) binary codes to determine the rolling direction. For example: if the rolling angle θ1 at time t1 is π / 2, the corresponding (I1, I2) binary code is (0, 0). If the codes at time t1+Δt and time t1+2Δt are (0, 0) and (0, 0), it indicates that the rolling is along the direction of π / 2--5π / 8--3π / 4; if the codes at time t1+Δt and time t1+2Δt are (0, 1) and (0, 1), it indicates that the rolling is along the direction of π / 2--3π / 8--π / 4.

[0089] In addition, after the rolling angle at each moment is known, the instantaneous rolling angular velocity can be calculated. At the same time, according to the judgment of the rolling direction, the calculated rolling angular velocity can be assigned a positive or negative direction.
