Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an airborne anti-UAV device and an application method thereof, and an airborne anti-UAV system to solve the problems existing in the prior art, reduce costs, and improve the countermeasure effect.

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an airborne anti-UAV device 100, including a mounted UAV, a detection module 3, a control module and a shotgun launch module 4. The detection module 3 is installed on the mounted UAV, and the detection module 3 and the shotgun launch module 4 are electrically connected to the control module. The shotgun launch module 4 is arranged around the periphery of the mounted UAV. The cost of using shotgun to counter the enemy UAV is as low as 200 to 300 yuan (the cost of six shotgun shells), which greatly reduces the counterattack cost and effectively solves the cost-effectiveness problem. At the same time, since the shotgun launch module 4 is arranged on the periphery of the mounted UAV, Therefore, it is possible to counter incoming enemy drones with full-circle ammunition hard damage. The detection module 3 is used to detect the position signal of the enemy drone to accurately obtain the position of the enemy drone. The control module is used to receive the position signal detected by the detection module 3, and control the shotgun launch module 4 to launch shotgun shells at the enemy drone, so as to accurately counter the enemy drone and improve the counter effect. At the same time, multiple airborne anti-drone devices 100 can form an airborne anti-drone system 200, which can deal with both a single enemy drone and multiple enemy drones.

[0035] Specifically, the mounted drone is a micro-aircraft, including a fuselage body 1 and multiple rotor assemblies 2. The fuselage body 1 is used to provide a mounting platform. The multiple rotor assemblies 2 are installed around the periphery of the fuselage body 1 to achieve stable flight. The detection module 3 and the shotgun launch module 4 are both installed on the fuselage body 1.

[0036] There are four rotor assemblies 2, and the four rotor assemblies 2 are evenly arranged around the outer circumference of the fuselage body 1. However, the specific number of the rotor assemblies 2 in this embodiment is not limited to four, and those skilled in the art can also adaptively adjust the number of the rotor assemblies 2 according to actual needs.

[0037] There are two groups of detection modules 3, and one detection module 3 is installed at the upper end of the fuselage body 1 and the lower end of the fuselage body 1, respectively, which can realize accurate detection of the position of the enemy UAV and ensure effective countermeasures against the enemy UAV.

[0038] Each group of detection modules 3 includes at least one short-range detector, which is also called a proximity fuze detector. Those skilled in the art may also select other forms of detection modules 3.

[0039] The shotgun launch module 4 is mounted on the fuselage body 1, and the present embodiment does not specifically limit the specific mounting method, as long as the connection between the two can be achieved. At the same time, the shotgun launch module 4 can be mounted horizontally, vertically, and at an angle, or a combination of several mounting methods.

[0040] The shotgun launch module 4 includes a plurality of shotgun muzzles 5, which are arranged along the length direction and circumference direction of the fuselage body 1, that is, multiple layers of shotgun muzzles 5 are arranged on the periphery of the fuselage body 1, and the multiple shotgun muzzles 5 of each layer are evenly arranged around the periphery of the fuselage body 1, ensuring that enemy drones in all directions can be countered, thereby improving the countering effect. In actual application, the circular shotgun launch method or the fan-shaped shotgun launch method can be used according to actual needs, and the shotgun is common to the explosion-proof shotgun in the civilian industry, and can also be used for explosion-proof and anti-terrorism.

[0041] The specific structural design of the shotgun launch module 4 in this embodiment includes but is not limited to a six-barrel shotgun launch method, and can also be a five-barrel, four-barrel or other method with more than one launch tube (shotgun muzzle 5).

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] This embodiment provides an application method of the airborne anti-UAV device 100 in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0044] S1. When the operator finds a single enemy drone, the onboard anti-drone device 100, under the guidance of the detection module 3, flies to a distance of 5km from the enemy drone for interception;

[0045] S2. Multiple airborne anti-UAV devices 100 are arranged to form a number of counter-interception nets 6, as a preferred solution, such as Figure 3As shown, the counter-interception network 6 can be set to three, and the three counter-interception networks 6 correspond to long-distance interception, medium-distance interception and close-distance interception respectively, which effectively solves the problems of unclear levels and equipment ununification in the current anti-UAV system; wherein, the distances between the three counter-interception networks 6 and the enemy UAV include but are not limited to 5km, 3km and 1km, and can also be distances composed of natural numbers or their decimals, such as 6.2km, 7.8km, etc., to achieve effective air defense against incoming enemy UAVs;

[0046] S3. When the detection module 3 detects that an enemy UAV passes within the effective range, the control module controls the grenade gun module to be automatically triggered to destroy the enemy UAV.

[0047] Embodiment 3

[0048] This embodiment provides an airborne anti-UAV system 200, comprising a plurality of airborne anti-UAV devices 100 in the first embodiment, wherein the plurality of airborne anti-UAV devices 100 are arranged to form a plurality of counter-interception nets 6.

[0049] As a preferred solution, Figure 3 As shown, there are three counter-interception nets 6, and the distances between the three counter-interception nets 6 and the enemy UAV are 5km, 3km and 1km respectively (corresponding to Figure 3 The three counter-interception nets from left to right in the figure 6) are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, each counter-interception net 6 is a plane formed by an array of multiple airborne anti-UAV devices 100, and each counter-interception net 6 is arranged in parallel, thereby integrating the three types of weapons and equipment of traditional air defense, namely, long-range, medium-range and short-range, into one category of equipment, i.e., the airborne anti-UAV device 100 of the first embodiment, thereby solving the problem of carrying too many types of ammunition and too few quantities.

[0050] As another preferred solution, there is one counter-interception network 6, and a plurality of airborne anti-UAV devices 100 in the counter-interception network 6 are arranged in a rectangular array (e.g. Figure 5 ), or multiple airborne anti-UAV devices 100 in the counter-interception network 6 are arranged in a cylindrical array (such as Figure 6 As shown), those skilled in the art may also choose other array forms, such as spherical array, cube array, etc.

[0051] Through the above-mentioned design, this embodiment reduces the number of equipment and the difficulty of operation, and solves the problem that the traditional long-range air defense system is too large; uses low-cost shotgun shells to defend against enemy drones worth thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and solves the problem of excessively high costs for medium-range air defense; shotgun shells can be used for countermeasures at all distances, and hundreds or even thousands of shotgun shells can be directly carried without any logistical burden, which solves the problem that medium and short-range air defense systems have too high requirements on the type and quantity of ammunition.

[0052] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
