Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a laser ablation countermeasure unmanned aerial vehicle internal temperature field analysis test method and device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, the application of drones has become increasingly common, but the abuse of drones has also brought many problems such as wounding and voyeurism. At present, there are methods such as radio interference, netting and high-energy laser strikes to achieve drone countermeasures. Among them, high-energy laser strikes are a hard kill method that is not affected by drone communication methods and has received widespread attention in the engineering community. How to evaluate the flight performance of drones after laser ablation is an important issue that affects the effectiveness of countering lasers to counter drones.

[0003] When the laser causes damage to the outer shell, the heat carried by the laser will enter the fuselage. When the drone is still in flight, air will enter the fuselage from the outside, causing hot air to flow inside the fuselage, which may further damage other parts of the fuselage. The temperature field inside the drone fuselage can be used as a method and indicator to evaluate the damage effectiveness of laser weapons.

[0004] Although there are some methods and indicators for evaluating the destructive effectiveness of laser weapons, the following problems still exist: 1. Due to the limited internal space of the fuselage, the internal air field is difficult to measure, and it is difficult to obtain internal temperature field and flow field change data using experimental means alone; 2. The laser ablation temperature is high. When using traditional optical measurement methods based on visible light, it will be displayed as a white spot on the screen, and the temperature of the entire field cannot be accurately obtained; 3. Laser ablation UAV technology involves multiple basic disciplines such as mechanics, materials, and optics. Each discipline has many evaluation indicators.
