Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drone countermeasures, and in particular to a drone countermeasure system and method based on bionic intelligent capture. Background Art

[0002] Existing drone countermeasures face a range of challenges when dealing with small, high-speed, and highly maneuverable non-cooperative drones. Traditional countermeasures have limitations in perception, decision-making, and execution, resulting in low countermeasure efficiency and success rates.

[0003] Specifically, these limitations are reflected in:

[0004] Detection systems that rely on a single sensor type, such as purely optical or radar systems, are susceptible to interference from inclement weather, varying lighting conditions, or complex electromagnetic environments. This makes it difficult to provide stable, accurate, and all-weather perception of target drones, resulting in incomplete information acquisition. Traditional tracking algorithms typically focus solely on kinematic information such as the target's position and velocity, lacking effective identification of intrinsic properties such as target type, size, and posture. This prevents countermeasure systems from developing tailored interception strategies based on target characteristics. Most countermeasure systems respond based on the target's current or historical position, employing a pursuit-based interception strategy. This passive pursuit approach is ineffective against intelligent drones capable of evasive maneuvers, lacking effective prediction of the target's future trajectory and preventing efficient pre-positioned interception. Interception methods and parameters are often fixed, such as a single interceptor flight mode or a fixed launch timing and configuration for a capture net. This one-size-fits-all strategy is unsuitable for diverse interception scenarios and targets with varying characteristics, resulting in low interception success rates or poor aerodynamic and energy efficiency in specific scenarios.

[0005] The root cause of the above problems lies in the fragmentation of various technical links and the lack of data processing and decision-making capabilities, that is, the failure to integrate precise perception, deep understanding, forward-looking prediction and adaptive decision-making, making it difficult to cope with the growing dynamic and non-cooperative drone threats.

[0037] The successful capture probability is compared with a preset confidence threshold, and when the successful capture probability exceeds the confidence threshold, the delivery instruction is generated.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0060] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and Examples:

[0061] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of the system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0063] Example 1:

[0064] See also Figure 1,The present invention provides a technical solution of a UAV countermeasure system and method based on bionic intelligent capture, comprising: a data acquisition module for acquiring multi-dimensional feature data of a target UAV and generating a comprehensive signal matrix;

[0065] The state estimation module receives the integrated signal matrix, calculates the motion state vector containing the target position and velocity, and extracts the intrinsic feature vector containing the target type and posture;

[0066] The trajectory prediction module is used to generate the future predicted position of the target UAV based on the motion state vector and intrinsic feature vector of the historical sequence;

The flight control strategy determines the flight mode and wingspan parameters for trajectory tracking, and the capture net control strategy determines the release instructions and net tension parameters used to trigger capture.

[0068] This embodiment provides a drone countermeasure system based on bionic intelligent capture. The system realizes effective detection, tracking, prediction and interception of target drones through the chain-like collaborative work of a data acquisition module, a state estimation module, a trajectory prediction module and a countermeasure decision module. The data acquisition module uses multi-source sensor fusion technology to provide accurate input for the state estimation module. The state estimation module draws on the biological vision mechanism to solve the target's real-time motion state and intrinsic properties for use by the trajectory prediction module. The trajectory prediction module uses a deep learning network to make a high-precision prediction of the target's future position. The countermeasure decision module comprehensively plans the optimal flight control strategy and capture network control strategy based on the predicted position and its own state. This design integrates perception, estimation, prediction and decision-making through the tight data flow and logic flow between modules, ensuring the efficiency and success rate of the countermeasure task against dynamic and non-cooperative drone targets.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] The data acquisition module is further used to:

[0071] Collect visible light intensity signals, infrared intensity signals, and radar echo intensity signals obtained by visible light sensors, infrared sensors, and millimeter-wave radar sensors as multi-source perception data;

[0072] By performing weighted fusion on multi-source perception data, a comprehensive signal matrix is ​​generated, which is used to provide input for the state estimation module.

[0073] The state estimation module is further used to:

[0074] Construct a falcon-like visual neural network model and use the integrated signal matrix as the input of the model;

[0075] Through the convolution and fully connected layer processing of the model, the motion state vector representing the three-dimensional spatial position and velocity of the target is calculated, and the intrinsic feature vector representing the intrinsic properties of the target is extracted. The motion state vector and intrinsic feature vector are used in the trajectory prediction module.

[0076] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module uses an integrated array of visible light sensors, infrared sensors, and millimeter-wave radar sensors to achieve all-weather, multi-dimensional information acquisition of target drones. This module collects raw signals from each sensor, including visible light intensity signals, infrared intensity signals, and radar echo intensity signals, to form multi-source perception data. The data acquisition module performs weighted fusion processing on the multi-source perception data to generate a comprehensive signal matrix. This fusion process adjusts the proportion of each sensor data in the final output using preset weight coefficients, enhancing the system's robustness in complex electromagnetic and meteorological environments.

[0079] The pre-calibration process is as follows: In a controlled test environment with various weather and lighting conditions, such as sunny, cloudy, night, light rain, and light fog, a high-precision motion capture system, such as Vicon or OptiTrack, is used as a true reference to simultaneously record the precise 3D position of the target drone; at the same time, the system collects raw data from visible light, infrared, and millimeter wave radars. An optimization algorithm, such as the least squares method, is used to find the optimal set of weight coefficients. , whose goal is to minimize the error between the position calculated by the fused signal and the true position provided by the motion capture system; the objective function of the optimization process can be expressed as:

[0083] The state estimation module receives the integrated signal matrix generated by the data acquisition module. This module has a pre-trained falcon-like visual neural network model built into it, which mimics the hierarchical processing mechanism of the raptor's visual cortex.

[0084] The model introduces a spatial attention module before the first convolution layer, which simulates the foveal mechanism in the falcon's visual system and can integrate the signal matrix The high information density areas in the image are given higher processing weights, so that the key areas containing the target subject can be processed first without significantly increasing the amount of calculation;

[0085] The training process is based on a large amount of historical drone flight data collected in laboratory and field environments, giving it powerful feature extraction and state resolution capabilities. The integrated signal matrix serves as the input to the falcon-like visual neural network model. After being processed by multiple convolutional and fully connected layers within the model, it simultaneously outputs two key pieces of information: a motion state vector and an intrinsic feature vector. The motion state vector accurately describes the target's current three-dimensional spatial position and velocity, while the intrinsic feature vector contains deep attribute information such as the target's type and posture. Together, these two constitute a complete description of the target's state and serve as the core input to the subsequent trajectory prediction module, laying the data foundation for accurately predicting the target's intention and trajectory.

[0090] Convolutional layer: contains 5 convolution blocks, each of which consists of a A convolutional layer with ReLU activation function, a batch normalization layer and a The maximum pooling layer is composed of

[0091] Fully connected layer: After the convolutional layer, two fully connected layers with 1024 neurons each are connected;

[0092] Output layer: Two branches are separated from the second fully connected layer:

[0093] Motion state branch: a linear output layer containing 6 neurons, used to regress and calculate the motion state vector composed of three-dimensional space position and velocity ;

[0094] Intrinsic feature branch: an output layer containing N neurons, where N is the total number of predefined object types and pose categories;

[0095] In this embodiment, , which includes 5 target type categories, such as small quadrotor, medium hexacopter, drone, fixed wing, unknown, and 10 attitude categories, such as level, hover, climb, dive, turn left, turn right, forward, backward, left flight, and right flight; the intrinsic feature branch of the model outputs a vector of length 15, corresponding to the probabilities of these 15 categories;

[0096] Use Softmax activation function to calculate intrinsic feature vector for classification ;

[0097] The model is trained on a dataset of more than 200,000 manually annotated drone flight images collected in various environments.

[0098] The dataset covers at least 15 common multi-rotor and fixed-wing drone models, captured in a variety of background and lighting conditions, including urban and rural areas, daytime, dusk, nighttime, and light rain and fog. Each image is annotated with not only the true 3D position and velocity of the target, but also 10 predefined attitude categories, such as level, climbing, and left turn, and five drone types, such as small quadrotors and medium hexacopters.

[0103] The trajectory prediction module is further used to:

[0104] Construct a long short-term memory network model;

[0105] Input the feature sequence composed of the motion state vector and the intrinsic feature vector at the historical moment into the long short-term memory network model;

[0106] The model generates the future predicted position of the target drone by learning the dynamic behavior of the target in consecutive frames. The future predicted position is used to provide a decision basis for the countermeasure decision module.

[0107] In this embodiment, the core of the trajectory prediction module is a constructed long-short-term memory network model. This model is specifically designed to process and predict time series data. Its internal gating mechanism can effectively learn long-term dependencies and is suitable for capturing the complex flight dynamics of drones. The trajectory prediction module combines the motion state vectors output by the state estimation module at multiple consecutive moments in the past with the intrinsic feature vectors to form a historical state-feature sequence. This sequence is provided as input to the long-short-term memory network model. By analyzing this sequence, the model learns the dynamic behavior patterns of the target in consecutive frames, such as its maneuvering intentions and flight inertia. After learning is completed, the model generates a predicted position of the target drone at a certain point in the future. This future predicted position is the key decision-making basis for the countermeasure decision-making module to formulate the interception strategy, and its accuracy directly affects the success or failure of the interception mission.

After the LSTM layer, a fully connected layer is connected, which outputs a vector of length 3, which is the target position for the next k steps. The model is also trained using the Adam optimizer, and the loss function is the mean square error between the predicted position and the true future position. : refers to the long short-term memory network model; : Contains the past The historical feature sequence of the state vector at each moment is used as the input of the LSTM model; : defines the input sequence the time step or history length; : defines the future time step that needs to be predicted; :The model predicts that the target is in the future Spatial location at a moment;

[0113] Obtain target distance, relative speed, altitude difference and relative angle as flight status parameters;

[0114] Construct a mode switching decision function and calculate the fitness values ​​of six flight modes: cruise, tracking, dive, hover, hover, and capture based on flight state parameters;

[0115] The mode with the highest fitness value is selected as the flight mode, and the flight mode is used to determine the subsequent wingspan parameters.

[0116] The countermeasure decision module is further used to:

[0117] Get the selected flight mode and the intercepting drone's own flight speed;

[0118] Construct a wingspan optimization function, and dynamically fine-tune it based on the basic wingspan corresponding to the flight mode and the intercepting drone's own flight speed;

[0119] The optimal wingspan is calculated as the wingspan parameter, and the wingspan parameter is used to drive the wingspan dynamic adjustment mechanism to execute.

[0120] In this embodiment, the countermeasure decision module determines the flight control strategy by acquiring real-time flight state parameters between the interceptor and target aircraft, including target distance, relative speed, altitude difference, and relative angle. These parameters are input into a preset mode switching decision function. This function defines fitness evaluation rules for six preset flight modes: cruise, tracking, dive, hover, hover, and capture. Based on the input flight state parameters, the function calculates the fitness value of each mode in real time. The mode with the highest fitness value is selected as the current optimal flight mode.

[0123] After determining the flight mode, the countermeasure decision module further obtains the selected flight mode and the interceptor drone's own flight speed; this information is fed into the wingspan optimization function to calculate the optimal wingspan parameters. The core logic of this function is to make smooth dynamic fine-tuning based on the interceptor's own speed on the basic wingspan value corresponding to the selected mode; for example, in high-speed tracking mode, the wingspan will be appropriately reduced to reduce drag; in low-speed circling mode, the wingspan will be increased to provide more lift; the calculated optimal wingspan parameters are then sent to the wingspan dynamic adjustment mechanism to drive the physical wing surface to complete the deformation, so that the interceptor achieves the optimal aerodynamic performance in the current mission phase;

[0148] Compare the probability of successful capture with a preset confidence threshold, and generate a release instruction when the probability of successful capture exceeds the confidence threshold;

[0149] The preset confidence threshold can be optimized by conducting a large number of capture experiments in a simulation environment and analyzing the relationship between the success rate and the false trigger rate. In a preferred embodiment, the threshold is set to 0.9;

[0150] In this embodiment, to perform flight control, the countermeasure decision module obtains the predicted future position generated by the trajectory prediction module and the interceptor's current flight state. These two pieces of information are input into a preset trajectory tracking control law. Based on optimal control theory, this control law calculates the total thrust and torque vector required to accurately drive the interceptor to the predicted target position. This total thrust and torque vector is decomposed into specific thrust commands for the four independent ducted fans through a pre-calibrated thrust allocation matrix. These commands ultimately drive each fan to adjust its speed, achieving precise control of the flight trajectory.

[0153] When determining the capture net release command, the countermeasure decision module also obtains the future predicted position and uses this to calculate the four key factors that constitute the capture evaluation index set: predicted interception accuracy factor, relative speed factor, target maneuverability factor, and target attitude factor. These factors quantify the geometric feasibility of interception, speed matching, target avoidance ability, and whether the attitude is conducive to capture. This index set is input into a pre-trained capture probability assessment model, which outputs a successful capture probability value. This probability value is compared with a preset confidence threshold. Only when the calculated successful capture probability exceeds the threshold will the system generate and issue the capture net release command. This decision-making mechanism based on quantitative evaluation avoids blind deployment and significantly improves capture efficiency and resource utilization.

[0158]

[0159] Relative velocity factor ( ): The relative speed is required to be as small as possible during capture. This factor is modeled using a Gaussian function. It reaches its peak value when it is zero;

[0160]

[0161] Target mobility factor ( ): Based on the target's current tangential acceleration extracted from the historical trajectory The more maneuverable the target, the more difficult it is to capture.

[0162]

[0163] Target attitude factor ( ): Based on the target intrinsic feature vector The attitude calculated in [1]. For example, when capturing a rotary-wing drone from directly above, its rotors are exposed to the greatest extent and its attitude is most favorable. This factor can be quantified as a lookup table value or calculated based on the angle between the intercept direction and the target coordinate system. For example, it can be defined as a function of the cosine of the angle between the intercept vector and the target's Z axis (vertically upward);

[0169] Analyze the equivalent size information of the target from the intrinsic feature vector generated by the state estimation module;

[0170] The specific analysis process is as follows: The target type category with the highest confidence is identified; the system searches for the corresponding average equivalent size in a preset lookup table according to the type ,For example, if it is identified as a medium-sized six-rotor, its corresponding equivalent size is obtained from the lookup table as 0.8 meters;

This information is input into an optimal tension calculation function. Based on the target's size, this function calculates the optimal mesh tension that ensures flexible wrapping to prevent the target from bouncing off while also providing sufficient toughness to absorb impact energy. The calculated optimal mesh tension is set as the mesh tension parameter. This parameter is used to control the capture net woven from magnetorheological material.

These two parameters are input into the net deployment trajectory optimization model. In this model, the net tension parameter serves as a key physical constraint because it directly affects the aerodynamic characteristics and morphological changes of the net during air deployment. The model uses an optimization algorithm to solve a set of optimal deployment mechanism parameters, mainly including the initial deployment speed and deployment duration. This set of parameters ensures that the center point of the deployed capture net accurately coincides with the target's predicted future position in time and space, while taking into account the influence of tension, thereby achieving precise interception.

The system's data acquisition module uses multi-source sensors to acquire signals and fuse them into a comprehensive signal matrix. It then proceeds to step 2: state solution and intent recognition. The state estimation module's falcon-like visual neural network model processes this matrix and outputs the target's real-time motion state and intrinsic characteristics. Based on this output, step 3: future trajectory prediction generates the target's future position using a long-short-term memory network model. In step 4: countermeasure strategy generation, the countermeasure decision module integrates all information and concurrently determines the flight control strategy and capture net control strategy, including selecting the optimal flight mode, adjusting wingspan, assessing capture probability, and setting net tension. In step 5: integrated collaborative execution, the system converts the generated complex instructions into precise control of the intercepting drone's flight dynamics and capture device, executing maneuvers and tracking. When the time is right, it implements release and tension adjustment, completing a complete, intelligent capture mission. The entire method forms a seamless closed loop from perception, understanding, prediction, decision-making, and action, demonstrating high adaptability and countermeasure efficiency against dynamic and unknown threats.
