[0003] For example, CN119756221A discloses a tracking and scanning measurement system and platform. This system includes a two-dimensional angle measurement drive device, a contact laser tracker, a non-contact laser scanner, and a control device. The control device is connected to the contact laser tracker, the non-contact laser scanner, and the two-dimensional angle measurement drive device. In tracking coordinate measurement mode, it controls the two-dimensional angle measurement drive device to drive the laser tracker to track a set cooperative target in real time. The coordinate data of the contact point between the cooperative target and the surface to be measured is obtained by combining two-dimensional angle measurement with laser interferometric ranging data. In scanning measurement mode, it controls the two-dimensional angle measurement drive device to drive the non-contact laser scanner to scan the surface to be measured. The scanned point cloud data of the surface to be measured is obtained by combining two-dimensional angle measurement with absolute ranging data. This invention can achieve high-precision tracking coordinate measurement and high-efficiency scanning measurement with a single instrument, significantly improving detection efficiency. However, the high-precision tracking measurement device described in this invention is a single-loop tracking monitoring system, applicable to a limited range of scenarios.

[0028] The present invention discloses a rapid response cooperative tracking system and method for countering low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Its working principle is as follows: The system achieves macroscopic orientation adjustment through a first tracking device and precise line-of-sight stabilization and tracking through a second tracking device. When the control center detects the UAV target, it sends a command to the control motherboard 105. The control motherboard 105 drives the motor A115 in the first tracking device 1 to operate. When the motor A115 starts, its output torque is reduced at a high rate and increased through a harmonic reducer A, subsequently driving the shaft B116 to rotate. The gear B117 fixed on the shaft B116 rotates accordingly and meshes with the gear A107 fixed on the gear mounting seat 106. Because gear A1... 07 is fixed. According to the principle of planetary gears, the movement of gear B117 will force the entire support base plate 108 and all the mechanisms above it to form a rotating frame that rotates horizontally around the axis of shaft A111. The core function of harmonic reducers A113 and B119 is to precisely reduce speed and increase torque, ensuring that the gimbal can start, stop and position smoothly and accurately, eliminating transmission backlash. Gears A107 and B117 form a planetary gear transmission pair, converting the rotational motion of the motor into the horizontal rotational motion of the platform. The structure is compact and the transmission efficiency is high. Then, pitch adjustment and target locking are performed. At the same time or after the horizontal rotation, the control main board 105 starts motor B121. The power of machine B121 is transmitted to shaft C122 via harmonic reducer B119 for secondary power transmission. Gear C123, fixed on shaft C122, drives gear D124, which meshes with it, to rotate. Gear D124 is fixed to connecting bracket C129 via shaft D125, thereby transmitting the rotational motion to the second tracking device 2 above. This enables the entire camera assembly 208 to adjust its pitch angle in the vertical plane. Through the combined motion of the horizontal and pitch degrees of freedom, the system can quickly and accurately point the second tracking device 2 to the target airspace. The second tracking device 2, through its independent motor C207, drives the camera assembly 208 to rotate around its own optical axis at a faster and smaller amplitude. The deflection motion corrects residual jitter and enables pixel-level smooth tracking of high-speed moving targets. During the high-speed start-up, shutdown, and operation of the entire system, the vibrations generated are effectively absorbed and attenuated by shock absorbers A205 and B206, which act as passive vibration isolation, significantly reducing the vibration transmitted from the bottom mechanical transmission to the top camera unit, ensuring clear, stable, and jitter-free imaging. Motor C207, as a direct drive unit, provides rapid response capability for the last degree of freedom, achieving precise stabilization and tracking of the line of sight in the final stage. Finally, the high-definition video stream is captured by the dustproof lens in front of the camera assembly and transmitted back to the control center in real time, completing the task of continuous locking and tracking of the low-altitude UAV.

Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
