The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] The core of the present invention is to provide an anti-UAV air defense weapon system, which is economical and reliable and has strong sustained firepower output capability, can effectively meet the needs of different air defense scenarios, and achieve effective strikes and countermeasures against UAVs.

[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution provided by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention provides an anti-UAV air defense weapon system, which includes multiple subsystems, namely: a pneumatic weapon 100, a monitoring device 200, a mechanical arm assembly 300, a rotating base platform 400, a power supply device 500 and a command console 600.

[0040] The pneumatic weapon 100 is used to output pneumatic bullets for the system to strike targets such as drones.

[0041] The monitoring device 200 is used to detect and identify drone targets and track targets.

[0042] The mechanical arm assembly 300 is used to drive the pneumatic weapon 100 and the monitoring device 200 to rotate, so as to adjust the shooting angle of the pneumatic weapon 100 in real time according to the positioning of the target by the monitoring device 200, so as to achieve an all-round strike. Specifically, the pneumatic weapon 100 and the monitoring device 200 are both arranged on the mechanical arm assembly 300. The mechanical arm assembly 300 includes but is not limited to Figure 1 The multi-joint robotic arm in the embodiment can also be a robotic arm with 6 axes or more. Any robotic arm assembly with any structure that can achieve precise control of the shooting angle of the pneumatic weapon 100 is within the protection scope of this solution. Generally, a robotic arm with 6 axes or more can also be called a robot. The robot can include military robots such as reconnaissance robots, industrial robots such as robotic arms, humanoid robots, bionic robots such as robot dogs, etc.

[0043] The rotating base platform 400 is used to drive the mechanical arm assembly 300 to rotate 360 ​​degrees in the horizontal plane. After assembly, each subsystem is installed on the rotating base platform 400 through the mechanical arm assembly 300 to form a whole for easy handling.

[0044] The power supply device 500 is used to supply power to the pneumatic weapon 100 , the monitoring device 200 , the robot arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 , and to supply air to the pneumatic weapon 100 .

[0045] The command console 600 is used to receive superior instructions for target identification and tracking and strike control. Specifically, the control module in the command console 600 is respectively connected to the pneumatic weapon 100, the monitoring equipment 200, the mechanical arm assembly 300, the rotating base platform 400 and the power supply device 500 by signal or electrical connection. The command console 600 includes a computer, communication equipment and data analysis software, wherein the computer used has real-time data collection and processing capabilities and can be seamlessly connected with related subsystems. The communication equipment adopts encrypted communication technology to ensure the security and reliability of command transmission. It is also a tactical-level device with anti-interference capabilities to ensure stable communication in complex electromagnetic environments. Operators can use the command console 600 to search, lock and track and strike control of drone targets. The data analysis software can process radar data in real time and generate the optimal strike strategy.

[0046] When the monitoring device 200 detects and identifies the UAV target, the command console 600 can control the mechanical arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 to rotate to the target position, and control the power supply device 500 and the pneumatic weapon 100 to cooperate to achieve the action of striking the UAV target.

[0047] It should be noted that the control method of the command console 600 is to transmit the feedback signal of component A to the command console 600, and then the command console 600 controls components B, C, D and other components to perform their respective actions. The above-mentioned control method of receiving instructions and using the computer's real-time data processing capabilities to quickly parse instructions is a conventional technical means.

[0048] The anti-UAV air defense weapon system provided by this solution uses the monitoring device 200 to detect and identify UAV targets and track targets, uses the pneumatic weapon 100 to output pneumatic bullets and strike UAV targets, and adjusts the shooting angle and direction of the pneumatic weapon 100 through the cooperation of the mechanical arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400. The power supply device 500 can supply power and air to the pneumatic weapon 100 and other subsystems. When the monitoring device 200 detects and identifies the UAV target, the command console 600 can receive superior instructions, control the mechanical arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 to rotate to the target position, and control the power supply device 500 and the pneumatic weapon 100 to cooperate to achieve the action of striking the UAV target. Since the pneumatic weapon 100 and its adapted subsystems occupy a small volume, are easy to move and quickly assemble, are economical and reliable, and have strong continuous firepower output capability, they can effectively respond to the needs of different air defense scenarios and achieve effective strikes and countermeasures against UAVs.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the anti-UAV air defense weapon system is composed of a number of modular devices connected, that is, the several modular devices include a pneumatic weapon 100, a monitoring device 200, a mechanical arm assembly 300, a rotating base platform 400, a power supply device 500 and a command console 600. The above subsystems are all modularly designed, which is convenient for rapid replacement, upgrading and maintenance, and improves the flexibility and scalability of the system. Standardized interfaces are provided on the pneumatic weapon 100, the monitoring device 200, the mechanical arm assembly 300, the rotating base platform 400 and the power supply device 500. The pneumatic weapon 100, the monitoring device 200, the mechanical arm assembly 300, the rotating base platform 400 and the power supply device 500 are connected through standardized interfaces to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly, reduce maintenance costs, support immediate use, and can be quickly replaced or upgraded according to the battlefield environment, effectively improving the compatibility and interchangeability of the system.

[0050] Specifically, various components on the pneumatic weapon 100 are assembled through standard Picatinny rails. For example, a standard Picatinny rail is set on the outside of the shell of the pneumatic weapon 100, and various sights, night vision devices, laser pointers / sights, flashlights, bayonet fixings and other accessories can be set on the standard Picatinny rail.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the pneumatic weapon 100 includes a pneumatic launcher and a pneumatic bullet. The pneumatic bullet is made of high-density material and different types of pneumatic bullets can be replaced according to the characteristics of the target to improve the striking effect. The pneumatic launcher can launch pneumatic bullets and adopts adaptive adjustment technology. Each gun / gun barrel can adjust the shooting angle and can automatically adjust the firing pressure according to the target distance. The pneumatic launcher has a low cost, a long firepower duration, a small pneumatic bullet, a fast firing rate, and no shell ejection action. Therefore, it has a good effect on attacking small mobile targets such as drones.

[0052] In the first form, the pneumatic weapon 100 also includes an air compressor and a high-pressure gas cylinder, which are used to provide a high-pressure gas source for the pneumatic launcher and generate power. The pneumatic weapon 100 uses a gas cylinder, an electric motor or an engine to generate compressed gas to generate power; in the second form, the pneumatic weapon 100 uses gas or other flammable gases or flammable liquids to explode to generate power; in the third form, the pneumatic weapon 100 can use a dual mode that combines the first and second forms to provide firepower output power.

[0053] In order to ensure safety and stability under high pressure environment, high-pressure gas cylinders are made of high-strength composite materials. The air compressor and high-pressure gas cylinders are opened and closed by electromagnetic valves. When the command console 600 receives the target signal from the monitoring device 200, the electromagnetic valve is opened, and the high-pressure gas enters the pneumatic launch device through the high-pressure gas cylinder, pushing the pneumatic bullet to launch, achieving rapid response and precise strike.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the monitoring device 200 includes a radar and a photoelectric sensor integrated into one. The radar adopts advanced electronic scanning technology, and has the characteristics of long detection distance, large scanning area, and fast reconnaissance speed. It can realize fast and accurate target detection and tracking, and can even predict the accuracy of the target's motion trajectory; while the photoelectric sensor adopts Doppler effect and pulse compression technology, which can accurately identify the target, determine the target's attributes and type, and is not affected by electronic interference, effectively improving the target recognition rate and anti-interference ability. The above setting makes full use of the advantages of the two sensors, takes advantage of their strengths and makes up for their weaknesses, improves the efficiency and accuracy of monitoring, controls the mechanical arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 to adjust the azimuth according to the target information, tracks and aims at the target, and carries out the attack.

[0055] The rotating base platform 400 includes a housing, a rotating motor and a main shaft. The rotating motor is connected to one end of the main shaft through a coupling, and the other end of the main shaft passes through the housing and is connected to the bottom of the robot arm assembly 300. The housing is a supporting component of the rotating base platform 400. The rotating motor, as a rotating power source of the rotating base platform 400, can drive the main shaft to rotate together with the robot arm assembly 300. The housing and the main shaft can be connected through a bearing to achieve rotation stability.

[0056] The rotary motor can be composed of a servo motor and an encoder to achieve precise angle control and positioning.

[0057] In order to achieve a lightweight design, the housing of the rotating base platform 400 is modularly designed with a lightweight alloy material, which is easy to disassemble, carry and assemble quickly. The power supply device 500 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating base platform 400. The rotating base platform 400 or the power supply device 500 can be installed on a robot, a chariot, a warship, or an airship for anti-UAV air defense.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the power supply device 500 is used to supply power to the pneumatic weapon 100 and other subsystems, and specifically includes a battery management unit, a battery, and a generator. The battery has charging and discharging protection functions, and a high-energy density battery can be used. The battery is connected to other subsystems to meet the long-term operation requirements of the system. The generator is used as a backup power supply to meet the power requirements of all systems during long-term high-intensity combat. The power management unit is used to allocate and plan the power supply of high-energy density batteries and generators, and optimize the use of energy by adopting intelligent power distribution technology. For example, when the generator charges the battery, the battery management unit can prevent battery overcharging and other situations by controlling parameters such as charging current and voltage, thereby protecting the battery and extending the battery life. Energy recovery technology is used to reduce the overall energy consumption of the system.

[0059] Of course, the present invention can also support the coordinated operations of the entire anti-UAV air defense weapon system with electronic warfare, network warfare and other means according to the battlefield situation. Through data fusion technology, information complementarity of different detection means can be achieved to form a comprehensive UAV defense system and improve the anti-UAV combat effectiveness.

[0060] In summary, the present invention discloses an anti-UAV air defense weapon system that integrates a pneumatic weapon 100, a radar system and an optoelectronic sensor, and a robotic arm assembly 300. The system has the functions of command and control, radar detection, pneumatic weapon strikes, and an intelligent robot as a platform. The system has the characteristics of modularity, light weight, portability, long firepower duration, and low ammunition consumption cost.
