Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0015] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the UAV-based airspace management system provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention with reference to the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments in the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the UAV-based airspace management system provided by the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a UAV-based airspace management system, including: a control and decision-making system and a countermeasure system; The control and decision-making system is used to analyze the position information, flight information, environmental information, and meteorological information of the unauthorized UAV, and generate the optimal countermeasure; The countermeasure system is used to execute the optimal countermeasure.

[0018] Specifically, the existing countermeasures against unauthorized UAVs are relatively isolated, that is, the countermeasures are formulated only based on a certain factor, without comprehensively considering the unauthorized UAV, and secondary safety problems may be caused or the expected effect may not be achieved when implementing the countermeasures.

[0019] In order to implement reasonable and effective countermeasures against unlicensed drones in different scenarios, when an unlicensed drone is identified, the control and decision-making system comprehensively considers the position information of the unlicensed drone (such as coordinate information and the type of airspace it is in), flight information (such as flight speed and flight direction), environmental information (such as densely populated areas, industrial areas, and open areas), and meteorological information of the airspace where the unlicensed drone is located (such as wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, humidity, etc.) to generate the optimal countermeasure for the current scenario.

[0020] The countermeasure system can provide various countermeasures and execute the optimal countermeasure generated by the control and decision-making system for the unlicensed drone.

[0021] The airspace management system based on drones provided by the embodiments of the present invention comprehensively considers the position information, flight information, environmental information, and meteorological information of the airspace where the unlicensed drone is located through the control and decision-making system to generate the optimal countermeasure. The countermeasure system executes the optimal countermeasure to implement reasonable and effective countermeasures against unlicensed drones in different scenarios, improve the countermeasure efficiency, ensure the safety of the countermeasure process at the same time, reduce the impact on the surrounding environment and other airspace users, and maximize the maintenance of airspace order and public safety.

[0022] In some embodiments, the countermeasure system includes: a radio jammer, a capture net launcher, and a warning and guiding device; The radio jammer is used to emit interference signals with adjustable frequencies and powers to interfere with the signals of the drone; The capture net launcher is used to launch capture nets with adjustable angles and forces to capture the drone; The warning and guiding device is used to issue visual and auditory warnings to the drone operator and guide the drone operator to correct the flight behavior of the drone.

[0023] Specifically, a multifunctional radio jammer is configured to be able to emit interference signals with various adjustable frequencies and powers, and can perform precise signal interference on drones of different models and frequency bands. The radio jammer has an adaptive adjustment function and can automatically adjust the interference power and frequency according to the distance between the drone and the interference source, signal strength, etc. to achieve the best interference effect while minimizing the impact on other surrounding legal communication devices.

[0024] A high-precision capture net launcher is installed, which has an advanced target positioning system. It can quickly lock the target drone at a long distance and automatically adjust the launch angle and force according to the motion state of the target drone. The capture net is made of a special material with high strength, light weight, and good conductivity, which can not only effectively entangle the target drone to make it lose its flight ability, but also avoid causing serious damage to the target drone for subsequent investigation and evidence collection.

[0025] Deploy warning and guiding devices, such as strong light warning lights and high - pitched horns. When it is detected that a drone is approaching a no - fly zone or there is a trend of illegal flight, visual and auditory warnings can be sent to the drone operator to guide the drone operator to correct the flight behavior of the drone, avoiding entering the no - fly zone or stopping illegal operations.

[0026] The unmanned - aerial - vehicle - based airspace management system provided by the embodiments of the present invention provides a variety of flexible and variable counter - measures through radio jammers, capture net launching devices, and warning and guiding devices, and can quickly take the most appropriate counter - measures for different scenarios, improving the counter - measure efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, the control and decision - making system includes: a decision - making support system; The decision - making support system is used to evaluate the risk level corresponding to the unlicensed drone according to the position information, flight information, environmental information, and meteorological information of the airspace where the unlicensed drone is located, and generate the optimal counter - measure according to the risk level corresponding to the unlicensed drone.

[0028] Specifically, the decision - making support system analyzes the position information (such as coordinate information and the type of airspace where it is located, etc.) of the unlicensed drone, flight information (such as flight speed and flight direction, etc.), environmental information (such as densely populated areas, industrial areas, and open areas, etc.), and meteorological information (such as wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, humidity, etc.) of the airspace where the unlicensed drone is located, and evaluates the risk level that may be faced when countering the unlicensed drone. According to the risk level corresponding to the unlicensed drone, the optimal counter - measure is generated from a variety of counter - measures.

[0029] For example, when the unlicensed drone is in an open area and the risk level assessment is low, radio interference is preferably recommended to make the unlicensed drone lose control and return or land automatically; for example, when it is close to a sensitive area and the flight state of the unlicensed drone is unstable, and the risk level assessment is medium, a high - precision capture net launching device is selected for capture; and for another example, in the case of multiple unlicensed drones appearing simultaneously, and the risk level assessment is high, a collaborative counter - measure strategy is formulated to ensure efficient handling and avoid secondary disasters.

[0030] For the unmanned - aerial - vehicle - based airspace management system provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the decision - making support system first evaluates the risk level corresponding to the unlicensed drone according to the position information, flight information, environmental information, and meteorological information of the airspace where the unlicensed drone is located, and then generates the optimal counter - measure according to the risk level corresponding to the unlicensed drone, further improving the rationality and effectiveness of the counter - measure.

[0031] In some embodiments, the control and decision - making system further includes: a command console; The command console is used for operators to view the distribution, flight status, real-time data, and alarm information of drones in the airspace, and issue control instructions.

[0032] Specifically, a visual command console is set up, and operators can intuitively view the distribution status, flight status, real-time data, and various alarm information generated by the system of drones in the entire airspace. The command console has a friendly human-computer interaction interface, and operators can manually issue control instructions according to the actual situation, such as marking, tracking a specific drone, or starting an emergency countermeasure program, etc.

[0033] The airspace management system based on drones provided by the embodiments of the present invention sets up a command console so that operators can view and control drones in the entire airspace.

[0034] In some embodiments, the airspace management system based on drones further includes: a data acquisition system, a data processing and analysis center; The data acquisition system is used to collect the position information, flight information, environmental information of drones in the airspace, and meteorological information in the airspace; The data processing and analysis center is used to analyze the information collected by the data acquisition system to identify abnormal drones.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the airspace management system based on drones further includes: a data acquisition system and a data processing and analysis center.

[0036] The data acquisition system collects the position information, flight information, environmental information of drones in the airspace, and meteorological information in the airspace, and transmits the collected information to the data processing and analysis center.

[0037] The data processing and analysis center uses advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies, such as clustering analysis and anomaly detection algorithms in machine learning, to analyze the information collected by the data acquisition system to identify abnormal drones. Abnormal drones can be drones that are not legally registered, drones that violate airspace flight rules, and drones with abnormal flight behaviors.

[0038] The airspace management system based on drones provided by the embodiments of the present invention conducts comprehensive information collection through the data acquisition system, and the data processing and analysis center analyzes the collected information to identify abnormal drones, which is beneficial to maximizing the guarantee of the safe and orderly operation of the airspace and reducing various safety hazards and interferences caused by the disorderly flight of drones.

[0039] In some embodiments, the data acquisition system includes: a radar array, signal monitoring and analysis equipment, and meteorological monitoring sensors; The radar array is used to obtain the position information and flight information of drones; The signal monitoring and analysis device is used to receive and analyze the communication signals between the drone and the remote controller, and extract the identification code and flight control instructions of the drone; The meteorological monitoring sensor is used to collect meteorological information in the airspace.

[0040] Specifically, in the prior art for monitoring, single or a small number of monitoring devices are mostly used, which cannot conduct all-round and dead-angle-free monitoring of complex airspace environments, and it is easy to miss the flight information of drones, especially in areas with complex terrain or strong signal interference.

[0041] In this embodiment, radar arrays of multiple types and multiple frequency bands (such as microwave radars, millimeter-wave radars, etc.) are deployed at different geographical locations and heights to achieve all-round detection of drones in different altitude layers and different terrain areas, and obtain accurate position information (longitude, latitude, altitude) and flight information (flight speed, flight direction) of the drones and other information.

[0042] Equip with high-performance signal monitoring and analysis devices, which can receive and analyze various communication signals between the drone and the remote controller, such as signals in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, etc., and extract the identification code of the drone (such as IMEI code, drone serial number, etc.), flight control instructions and other key information.

[0043] Integrate meteorological monitoring sensors to collect meteorological information in the airspace, such as wind speed, wind direction, air pressure, humidity, etc., so as to consider the influence of meteorological factors when analyzing the flight state of the drone and predicting its flight trajectory.

[0044] In some embodiments, the data acquisition system can determine the environmental information of the drone according to the position information of the drone, that is, determine which one of the densely populated area, industrial area and open area it is in.

[0045] The airspace management system based on drones provided by the embodiments of the present invention realizes all-round information acquisition through radar arrays, signal monitoring and analysis devices, and meteorological monitoring sensors, and conducts all-round and dead-angle-free monitoring of the airspace.

[0046] In some embodiments, the data processing and analysis center includes: a data receiving module, a database, and a data analysis module; The data receiving module is used to receive the information collected by the data acquisition system; The database is used to store the registration information of the drone, airspace information, and historical flight information of the drone; The data analysis module is used to perform anomaly identification on the identity and flight behavior of the drone according to the information collected by the data receiving module and the information stored in the database.

[0047] Specifically, such asFigure 1 As shown in Figure 1 , the data processing and analysis center includes: a data receiving module, a database, and a data analysis module.

[0048] The data receiving module receives the information collected by the data acquisition system, that is, the position information, flight information, environmental information of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the airspace, and the meteorological information in the airspace. The database stores the registration information of UAVs, airspace information, and historical flight information of UAVs. The data analysis module performs anomaly identification on the identity and flight behavior of UAVs based on the information collected by the data receiving module and the information stored in the database.

[0049] For example, by comparing the identity identification code of the UAV with the registration information of the UAV, it is determined whether the UAV is legally registered.

[0050] For example, based on the airspace information and the current position information of the UAV, the type of airspace where the UAV is located and whether it violates the flight rules of that airspace are determined. The types of airspace can include no-fly zones, flyable zones, and restricted-fly zones.

[0051] For example, by combining the meteorological information and the historical flight information of the UAV, the rationality of the UAV's flight trajectory is analyzed, and whether its flight behavior is abnormal is judged, such as whether there are suspicious behaviors such as sudden acceleration, turning, or hovering in a specific area.

[0052] The airspace management system based on UAVs provided by the embodiments of the present invention receives the information collected by the data acquisition system through the data receiving module, the database stores the registration information of UAVs, airspace information, and historical flight information of UAVs, and the data analysis module performs anomaly identification on the identity and flight behavior of UAVs based on the information collected by the data receiving module and the information stored in the database, so as to maximize the maintenance of airspace order and public safety.

[0053] In some embodiments, the database includes: a UAV registration information database, an airspace information database, and a historical flight database; The UAV registration information database is used to store the model, manufacturer, owner information, registration time and validity period, flight performance parameters, allowable flight airspace range, and flight time limit of UAVs; The airspace information database is used to store the boundary geographical coordinates of no-fly zones, flyable zones, and restricted-fly zones, as well as the flight restriction conditions within each area; The historical flight database is used to store the historical flight trajectories, historical flight durations, and historical flight frequencies of UAVs.

[0054] Specifically, the detailed UAV registration information database covers the model, manufacturer, detailed owner information, registration time and validity period, flight performance parameters, allowable flight airspace range, and flight time limit of UAVs, etc.

[0055] An accurate airspace information database stores the detailed boundary geographical coordinates of no-fly zones, flyable zones, and restricted-fly zones, as well as the special flight restriction conditions within each zone, such as the restriction requirements for different altitude layers within the no-fly zone and the flight restrictions during specific time periods within the restricted-fly zone.

[0056] A historical flight data warehouse records data such as the historical flight trajectories, historical flight durations, and historical flight frequencies of all unmanned aerial vehicles, which are used for flight behavior analysis, trend prediction, and decision-making assistance.

[0057] The airspace management system based on unmanned aerial vehicles provided by the embodiments of the present invention creates a database with complete information through the unmanned aerial vehicle registration information database, the airspace information database, and the historical flight database, and can continuously optimize the airspace management strategy, countermeasures, and recognition algorithms, enabling the system to adapt to the ever-changing unmanned aerial vehicle technology and flight environment and maintain an efficient and stable operating state.

[0058] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that each embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course, it can also be implemented by hardware. Based on such an understanding, the essence of the above technical solutions, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disc, etc., and includes several instructions for causing a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment or some parts of the embodiments.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
