Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft countermeasure technology, and in particular to a multi-band interception jammer based on optically guided microwaves. Background Art

[0002] The target is unmanned flying equipment and manned aircraft that are controlled by radio flight control signal equipment and self-contained program control devices. Due to the low flight altitude, small size and slow flight speed of the target, the use scenarios are relatively wide. At present, it has been widely used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, selfies, express transportation, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting and other fields. In recent years, aircraft technology has become increasingly mature. While its application has become more and more widespread, the control accidents and related safety issues caused by aircraft have become increasingly normalized. Therefore, the task of countering and handling aircraft accidents and terrorist attacks will be very arduous.

[0003] At present, the main means of interception against targets include laser damage strikes, missile attacks, capture network capture and radio signal interference. These interception methods all have corresponding shortcomings, such as: laser damage strikes have great safety hazards, especially in environments such as airports, the wreckage produced after the target is shot down by the laser will cause secondary damage to the ground; missile attacks are costly; capture network capture has a short range and the effect is not obvious; radio signal interference has the advantages of being green, safe, and low-cost, but its disadvantages are: on the one hand, the frequency of the transmitted electrical signal is single or the frequency band is narrow, resulting in a very narrow target range of the system; on the other hand, the transmission power is low and the system has a short range. There are three main types of aircraft intercept jammers disclosed in existing literature:

[0004] The invention patent (CN110455127B) authorized in 2024, "A drone interception device based on a capture net array and its working method", adopts an aircraft interception device based on a capture net array and its working method, and forms a capture net array by launching multiple sets of capture nets, thereby achieving the interception of aircraft. This invention uses the capture net method, which has the disadvantages of short capture distance and unsatisfactory capture effect.

[0005] The invention patent (CN114508966B) authorized in 2023, "A mobile defense system for ground-to-air joint multi-level interception", uses laser weapons to intercept target aircraft, but the wreckage produced after a successful interception poses a major safety hazard to the ground.

[0006] The invention patent (CN110207545B) authorized in 2022, "A drone interception system", uses a combination of an interception net and electromagnetic interference to intercept the target aircraft, but does not involve the frequency of the radio signals emitted by the electromagnetic interference, and fails to achieve multi-band radio signal interference.

[0007] At present, the publicly reported literature on jammers that use radio interference methods all adopt single-frequency or frequency-hopping technical solutions, and do not involve multi-band aircraft jammers. However, multi-band aircraft interception jammers are urgently needed in practical applications.

[0008] In summary, there is currently no public literature regarding a multi-band interception jammer. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-band interception jammer based on optical microwaves.

[0010] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] The present invention provides a multi-band interception jammer based on optical microwaves, including a radar detection system, an optoelectronic tracking system, a radio monitoring system, an interception jammer system and a main control system;

[0020] Furthermore, the interception and jamming system is composed of a pulse drive source, a high-energy pulse cluster fiber laser, a photoconductive semiconductor switch and a radiation component;

[0021] The pulse driving source provides a voltage of 3kv to 10kv for the photoconductive semiconductor switch to ensure that the photoconductive semiconductor switch can work normally;

The high-energy pulse cluster fiber laser outputs high-energy laser pulses with sub-pulse frequencies continuously tunable from 0.5 GHz to 10 GHz to a photoconductive semiconductor switch;

[0024] The photoconductive semiconductor switch outputs a tunable microwave signal with a frequency of 0.5 GHz to 10 GHz consistent with the incident laser pulse parameters to the radiation component according to the voltage input by the pulse driving source and the laser pulse input by the high-energy pulse cluster fiber laser;

[0025] The radiation component is used to transmit microwave signals to intercept and interfere with targets.

[0026] Furthermore, the high-frequency modulation module includes an electro-optical intensity modulator and its driving circuit, and an arbitrary signal generator;

The frequency of the arbitrary signal generator is adjusted to achieve continuous tuning of the sub-pulse frequency of the pulse cluster laser from 0.5 GHz to 10 GHz, thereby generating a 0.5 GHz to 10 GHz continuously tunable microwave signal.

[0029] Furthermore, the optical microwave-based wide-band navigation deception, suppression and interference integrated system can be loaded on a mobile platform.

[0030] The present invention also provides a working method of the above-mentioned multi-band interception jammer based on optical microwave, comprising the following steps:

[0034] S4. After receiving the control command, the interception and interference system emits microwave signals to interfere with the flight control signal of the target, causing the target to lose control and complete the disposal.
