Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser guidance, and in particular relates to a long-distance follow-up laser seeker and a control method. Background Art

[0002] A laser seeker is a terminal guidance device installed on an aircraft. It performs photoelectric conversion, signal conditioning, and digital signal processing on the laser echo signal diffusely reflected by the target, then controls the optical axis to lock and track the target while sending out the missile-target line-of-sight angular rate signal for aircraft navigation. At present, most of the laser seekers equipped in the world use four-quadrant laser detectors, which are mainly divided into four-quadrant PIN laser detectors and four-quadrant APD laser detectors.

[0003] Due to the poor sensitivity of the four-quadrant PIN laser detector, even with a 100mJ airborne laser illuminator, the maximum range of the laser seeker can reach 4 to 5km, which seriously limits the scope of use. The four-quadrant laser APD detector is generally used in long-distance laser seekers with a range of more than 5km due to its high detection sensitivity, but the shortcomings of the four-quadrant APD laser detector are also obvious. First, the yield rate is low and the price is expensive. Only a few developed countries can master mass production. Secondly, the photosensitive surface of the four-quadrant APD laser detector is too small, resulting in the field of view of the applied laser seeker being no more than ±3°, which seriously affects the search efficiency and tracking stability of the laser seeker. Finally, the four-quadrant APD laser detector is technically difficult to use, the detection sensitivity is greatly affected by changes in ambient temperature, and the seeker has a large blind area.

[0004] The current laser seeker laser detection signal processing circuit is mainly designed with a peak hold circuit as the core solution. It uses the sum of four-quadrant signals to trigger the peak hold circuit and simultaneously trigger the DSP interrupt to control the low-speed ADC to complete the analog-to-digital conversion of the laser pulse peak hold signal. Since the peak hold circuit is built with discrete components, it has the disadvantages of weak anti-noise ability, poor linearity and stability of peak hold for large and small signals. Moreover, the laser echo signal loses the characteristics of the original signal after passing through the peak hold circuit, and cannot be processed by digital signals, and is easily induced by interference. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above shortcomings and provide a long-distance follow-up laser seeker and control method, which adopts a design scheme of a large aspherical lens optical system, a four-quadrant PIN laser detector and a high-speed ADC direct sampling, so that the laser semi-active seeker has a large field of view of ±15° without increasing the irradiation energy of the laser irradiator, and the detection and tracking distance reaches more than 10km.

[0027] A control method for a long-distance follow-up laser seeker comprises the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: The target diffusely reflected laser echo signal enters the four-quadrant laser PIN detector of the transmission optical system through the optical fairing;

[0033] The signal conditioning circuit is composed of a transimpedance amplifier circuit, a program-controlled amplifier circuit, and a sampling circuit;

[0034] First, the signal received by the transimpedance amplifier circuit is converted into a voltage pulse signal, and the gain is adjusted through the programmable amplifier circuit.

The automatic gain control module controls the gain change of the signal conditioning circuit.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the guidance head of the present invention adopts a large-aperture transmission optical system, which reduces the cost while enhancing the received laser energy. Combined with the laser detection signal directly sampled by the signal conditioning circuit adopted in the back end, the sensitivity of the entire detection system is doubled, and the detection stability and anti-interference ability are also greatly improved, and finally a long-distance detection distance of not less than 10 km is achieved, while the cost is reduced by 2 to 3 times. Due to the application of a four-quadrant laser PIN detector, a large field of view detection of not less than ±15° is also achieved, which greatly reduces the technical threshold of terminal guidance flight control.

[0040] The method of the present invention allows the diffusely reflected laser echo signal of the target to enter the laser guidance head through the optical fairing, and after the transmission optical system converges the image and photoelectric conversion, it is sent to the signal conditioning circuit for automatic gain control and analog-to-digital conversion. The digital quantity of the four-quadrant laser echo signal output by the signal conditioning circuit is firstly pre-processed by the FPGA pre-processing circuit to complete the signal initial inspection and pre-processing, and then confirmed by the DSP main control circuit (to identify the target, perform sum and difference operations, and calculate proportional guidance, and then control the dual-axis servo system to track and point to the target. At the same time, the navigation information is sent to the flight control computer on the missile. The present invention enables the laser semi-active guidance head to have a large field of view of ±15° without increasing the irradiation energy of the laser irradiator, and the detection and tracking distance reaches more than 10km.
