Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser and application technology, and in particular to a defense system and method based on a flying laser cluster. Background Technology
[0002] Laser equipment, with its superior characteristics such as high precision, low cost, low collateral damage, and rapid response, has shown enormous application potential in the low-altitude economy, becoming a key technological support for ensuring national security and social efficiency. However, uncooperative aircraft such as "black flight" drones may cause airspace conflicts or malicious interference. Laser countermeasure systems can handle such targets in a tiered manner, forcing them to return to base in low-power mode or destroying them in safe airspace in high-power mode. They offer long range and fast response, making them suitable for complex urban environments. Simultaneously, large logistics drones can carry small laser modules for self-defense, and ground operation and maintenance centers can deploy laser systems to escort flight routes, ensuring efficient low-altitude logistics operations. Despite its significant advantages, existing laser equipment in this field still suffers from several technical bottlenecks that severely restrict its application effectiveness. For example, its defense range is too short, and it is limited by atmospheric attenuation. Current laser equipment is mainly used for short-range (within 3 kilometers) defense. When the target distance exceeds the effective range, the laser energy attenuation is too high, rendering it meaningless for actual damage. Furthermore, it is ineffective in dealing with multiple targets. A single laser beam can usually only strike one target at a time. When facing saturation attacks such as drone swarms, it is necessary to frequently switch targets, and each switch requires re-locking, making it difficult to meet the reaction speed requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a defense system and method based on flying laser clusters to address the shortcomings of existing laser equipment defense systems, such as short defense range and inability to deal with multiple targets simultaneously.
[0004] This invention provides a defense system based on a flying laser swarm, comprising: A ground support platform, which is equipped with a cluster control unit and an energy supply interface, wherein the energy supply interface is used to provide energy supply to the flying laser intelligent agent; At least two flying laser agents, each of which includes: a flight platform, a laser emitting module mounted on the flight platform, and an airborne control and communication module. The airborne control and communication module is signal-connected to the flight platform and the laser emitting module, respectively, and is used to control the flight status of the flight platform and the emission parameters of the laser emitting module. The airborne control and communication module is communicatively connected to the cluster control unit of the ground support platform, and is used to receive mission instructions and transmit status information.

[0006] According to the defense system based on flying laser clusters provided by the present invention, controlling the at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously target multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed, self-organizing manner includes: The at least two flying laser agents exchange their detected target information and their own status information through an ad hoc network communication link, so that each flying laser agent can share global target data; Based on the global target data and allocation rules, each flying laser agent autonomously assigns an attack target to itself. When multiple flying laser agents autonomously select the same attack target, the flying laser agent that uniquely obtains the right to match the attack target is determined based on at least one of the following: the remaining energy of the flying laser agent, the relative distance to the target, or a random algorithm. The flying laser agent that obtains the right to match broadcasts information through the ad hoc network communication link. The information includes its matching relationship with the attack target. The remaining flying laser agents update the globally target data stored locally according to the information and mark the attack target as assigned. During the attack, in response to the failure of any flying laser agent or the change in the target state, the remaining flying laser agents autonomously redistribute attack tasks through the self-organizing network communication link. Alternatively, one of the flying laser agents can be designated as the master node agent, and attack targets can be assigned to itself and other flying laser agents that are slave nodes.
[0007] In the defense system based on flying laser clusters provided by the present invention, the airborne control and communication module is further configured as follows: Based on the received mission instructions, it autonomously plans its flight path to reach the target area; Control the flight platform to fly along the flight path.

[0012] According to the defense method based on flying laser clusters provided by the present invention, the step of controlling the at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously target multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed, self-organizing manner includes: At least two flying laser agents are dynamically grouped into at least one attack squad, and each attack squad is assigned one or more attack targets.
[0013] The defense method based on flying laser clusters provided by the present invention further includes: Real-time distance between the flying laser agent and the target is acquired. Based on the real-time distance, the laser emission power and / or irradiation time are dynamically adjusted.
[0014] This invention provides a defense system and method based on flying laser swarms. The system includes a ground support platform, which is equipped with a swarm control unit and an energy supply interface.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0018] Figure 1 A functional structure diagram of a defense system based on flying laser clusters provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the defense system based on flying laser clusters provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: The ground support platform 101 is equipped with a cluster control unit 1011 and an energy supply interface 1012, the energy supply interface 1012 being used to provide energy supply to the flying laser intelligent agent; At least two flying laser agents 102, each of the flying laser agents including: a flight platform 1021, a laser emitting module 1022 mounted on the flight platform, and an airborne control and communication module 1023, wherein the airborne control and communication module 1023 is signal-connected to the flight platform 1021 and the laser emitting module 1022 respectively, and is used to control the flight status of the flight platform 1021 and the emission parameters of the laser emitting module 1022; The airborne control and communication module 1023 is communicatively connected to the cluster control unit 1011 of the ground support platform, and is used to receive mission instructions and transmit status information. The cluster control unit 1011 and / or the airborne control and communication module 1023 are configured to: control the flying laser agent to maneuver and approach the target, and control at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously aim at multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed self-organizing manner.
[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, the formula for laser energy transmission and effective operating distance is as follows: Where R: effective action distance (unit: meters), k: empirical constant (unit: m·m^(2 / 3) / W^(1 / 3), fitted from experimental data), P: laser power (unit: watts, W), t: action time (unit: seconds, s), α: target material absorptivity (unitless, 0 < α ≤ 1), η: beam quality coefficient (0 < η ≤ 1, the closer to 1, the better the beam focusing), E th Target damage energy threshold (unit: J / m) 2A: Target irradiated area (unit: square meters, m²) (Joules per square meter, i.e., the energy density required to destroy the target) 2 ,), Atmospheric attenuation coefficient (unitless, distance-dependent).
[0020] As shown in the above equation, under the same conditions, the effective action distance R to the power of 1.5 is directly proportional to both the laser power P and the action time t (i.e., R...). 1.5 ∝P, R 1.5 ∝t). This relationship directly leads to the conclusion that shortening the distance can significantly reduce the power and response time requirements simultaneously. This means that when the distance between the target and the laser is shortened through maneuvering, the new distance can be adapted by reducing power individually, shortening the response time individually, or adjusting both simultaneously (keeping the product sufficient). Specifically, if the target distance is shortened from 2 kilometers to 1 kilometer (distance halved), the required power becomes (1 / 2) of the original. 1.5 ≈0.35 times (i.e., only about 35% of the power is needed), or the required time becomes (1 / 2) of the original. 1.5 The power and time are reduced by approximately 0.35 times (meaning only about 35% of the time is required). If both power and time are adjusted simultaneously while maintaining the same ratio, when the distance is halved, both power and time need to be reduced to approximately 59% of their original values. In this case, the product of the two (0.59P × 0.59t ≈ 0.35Pt) can also meet the requirements and adapt to the shortened distance. All three methods conform to the formula logic, and in practice, the choice can be made according to the needs (such as prioritizing power reduction to simplify the equipment, or prioritizing time reduction to improve response speed). However, the core principle remains unchanged: shortening the distance can significantly reduce the demand on the laser's "power-time" combination.
[0021] Because shortening the distance significantly reduces the power requirements of a single module (for example, if the distance is halved, the power required by a single module can be reduced to 35% of the original). If the total power remains unchanged, a single 30-kilowatt module can be broken down into multiple smaller modules after the distance is shortened (e.g., three 10-kilowatt modules, with the total power still being 30 kilowatts), and the power of each smaller module is sufficient to meet the damage requirements after the distance is shortened (because although the power of a single module is reduced, the energy density is still sufficient after the distance is shortened).
[0022] Traditional laser defense systems have a short range and are limited by atmospheric attenuation. Current laser equipment is mainly used for short-range (within 3 kilometers) defense. When the target distance exceeds the effective range, the laser energy attenuation is too high, making it lose its practical destructive significance. Furthermore, it is ineffective in dealing with multiple targets. A single laser beam can usually only hit one target at a time. When facing saturation attacks such as drone swarms, it is necessary to frequently switch targets, and each switch requires relocking, making the reaction speed difficult to meet the requirements.
[0023] The present invention provides a defense system based on a flying laser swarm, comprising a ground support platform, wherein the ground support platform is equipped with a swarm control unit and an energy supply interface, the energy supply interface being used to provide energy supply to the flying laser agents; at least two flying laser agents, each of which includes: a flight platform, a laser emission module mounted on the flight platform, and an airborne control and communication module, the airborne control and communication module being signal-connected to the flight platform and the laser emission module respectively, for controlling the flight status of the flight platform and the emission parameters of the laser emission module; the airborne control and communication module... The block is communicatively connected to the cluster control unit of the ground support platform to receive mission instructions and transmit status information. The cluster control unit and / or the airborne control and communication module are configured to: control the flying laser agent to maneuver and approach the target, and control at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously aim at multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed self-organizing manner. This invention can expand the defense radius and shorten the distance between the target and the laser by utilizing maneuvering flight while keeping the total power unchanged. By leveraging the redundancy, flexibility and energy superposition effect of the distributed architecture, it improves efficiency and solves the problem of weak multi-target response.
[0024] Based on any of the above embodiments, the cluster control unit is further configured as follows: Receive target indication information, and assign attack targets or groups to each of the flying laser intelligent agents according to the target indication information; Generate mission instructions containing target location information and grouping information and issue them to the corresponding flying laser intelligent agents.
[0025] In embodiments of the present invention, the flying laser intelligent agent grouping can be based on a variety of methods, including: (1) Dynamic grouping based on target characteristics: Grouping schemes are dynamically generated based on the target type, number of targets, target threat level or spatial distribution characteristics contained in the target indication information. For example, large high-value targets are assigned to multiple agents to form a "concentrated fire group", and a large number of scattered small targets are divided into multiple "area sweeping groups" according to the region.
[0026] (2) Optimized grouping based on agent status: Based on the real-time status information of each flying laser agent, including remaining energy, laser module health status, current position and ammunition reserves, balanced grouping is carried out. Agents in good condition are given priority to be assigned to the primary attack group to ensure the highest attack effectiveness; at the same time, agents with insufficient energy are avoided from being assigned to remote targets.
[0027] (3) Spatial position-based collaborative grouping: Based on the relative position, distance and angle of each flying laser agent to the target, the optimal attack formation is automatically formed. For example, to attack the same target, they can be automatically grouped into crossfire groups that attack simultaneously from different directions, or to attack linearly distributed targets, they can be grouped into relay groups that strike in turn.
[0028] This invention achieves highly efficient multi-target coordinated strike capability by receiving unified target designation information and intelligently assigning attack targets or groups to each flying laser agent, avoiding mission conflicts or wasted firepower. The generated and issued mission instructions contain precise target locations and grouping information, enabling the agent cluster to respond quickly and deploy in an orderly manner, forming a well-defined combat system, thereby significantly improving overall combat efficiency and system response speed when dealing with saturation attacks (such as drone swarms).
[0029] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, controlling the at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously target multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed, self-organizing manner includes: The at least two flying laser agents exchange their detected target information and their own status information through an ad hoc network communication link, so that each flying laser agent can share global target data; Based on the global target data and allocation rules, each flying laser agent autonomously assigns an attack target to itself. When multiple flying laser agents autonomously select the same attack target, the flying laser agent that uniquely obtains the right to match the attack target is determined based on at least one of the following: the remaining energy of the flying laser agent, the relative distance to the target, or a random algorithm. The flying laser agent that obtains the right to match broadcasts information through the ad hoc network communication link. The information includes its matching relationship with the attack target. The remaining flying laser agents update the globally target data stored locally according to the information and mark the attack target as assigned. During the attack, in response to the failure of any flying laser agent or the change in the target state, the remaining flying laser agents autonomously redistribute attack tasks through the self-organizing network communication link. In this embodiment of the invention, each intelligent agent independently detects attack targets within the combat area using its own sensors (such as radar and optical recognition modules), and simultaneously collects key target information (such as target type, threat level, coordinates, protection strength, and attacked status). The detection results are shared through a distributed communication network (such as a Mesh self-organizing network), without needing to be aggregated to a single node. Instead, a "multicast synchronization" mechanism is used: once any intelligent agent discovers a new target or updates its target status, it immediately broadcasts the information to all other intelligent agents in the network, ensuring that all nodes have consistent global target data. If different intelligent agents have different detection results for the same target (such as coordinate deviations or different threat level determinations), a unified conclusion is reached through a preset "consensus algorithm" (such as a voting mechanism based on target feature weights), avoiding information confusion.
[0030] Based on global target data, all agents autonomously determine their own attack targets according to preset rules, and distribute the target attributes with the agent's capabilities, rather than relying on external instructions: each agent broadcasts its own status and capability parameters (such as remaining energy, laser attack power, current location, maximum attack range, and number of targets that can be attacked simultaneously) to the network in real time, ensuring that other nodes are aware of its "task carrying capacity limit"; all agents prioritize global targets based on unified preset rules (such as "targets with high threat level are attacked first" and "targets with high protection strength need to be matched with high-power agents"), without any node dominating the sorting, but rather the algorithm ensures that all nodes arrive at a consistent priority list. Each agent autonomously selects the most suitable attack target based on target priority and its own capabilities (e.g., low-power agents prioritize low-protection targets, high-power agents prioritize high-threat / high-protection targets, and close-range agents prioritize urgent targets). If multiple agents simultaneously select the same target, they coordinate autonomously through distributed conflict resolution rules, such as "agents with more remaining energy prioritize matching," "agents closer to the target prioritize matching," or a "random selection + secondary matching" mechanism to ensure that a single target is locked by only one agent (avoiding duplicate attacks or no attack). After determining its own attack target, an agent immediately broadcasts the "self-target" matching result to the network. Other agents receive this information, update the global target data, and mark the target as assigned to avoid subsequent conflicts.
[0031] If an agent malfunctions or a target's state changes (such as target movement or the addition of a new target), adjustments are not initiated by a single node. Instead, the system adapts autonomously through distributed logic: If an agent malfunctions (e.g., communication interruption or energy depletion), other agents detect this through a "heartbeat detection mechanism" and automatically trigger "task reassignment." Neighboring agents with matching capabilities autonomously take over the attack tasks left unfinished by the malfunctioning agent based on "target priority," without manual or central node intervention. If a target's state changes (e.g., threat level increases or location moves beyond the attack range of the original matched agent), the original matched agent immediately broadcasts "task release" information. All agents then autonomously re-match based on the latest state, ensuring the target is always locked by the "most suitable agent." If any agent discovers a new target, after synchronizing information according to the first-stage logic, all agents directly participate in the matching of the new target autonomously based on their current capabilities and target priorities, without waiting for assignment instructions.
[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, when at least two flying laser agents simultaneously target a single target in a distributed, self-organizing manner, after 4 to 8 agents are powered on and started, they complete multi-network adaptation initialization around the single-target defense requirements to ensure the foundation for multi-agent collaboration. Then, they perform self-tests in the order of "laser module → detection module → positioning module → multi-communication module". The output power of each flying laser agent is stabilized at 300-10000W to ensure power coordination when multiple agents defend simultaneously. The signal strength (≥-90dBm) and packet loss rate (≤5%) of Mesh-4G (line-of-sight communication, speed 300-600Mbps, distance 4-8km), LoRa (non-line-of-sight, speed 0.3-50kbps, distance 5-15km), 5G private network (connected to air traffic control / command center, speed 1-10Gbps, latency 10-20ms), and emergency satellite (as a backup in extreme scenarios, speed 10-100kbps) were tested respectively. If a certain intelligent agent module fails (such as A3 laser power exceeding the limit, A5 satellite communication interruption), the "fault status" is immediately broadcast through the normal communication module, and the agent returns to the backup area 2-8km from the edge of the protected airspace at an altitude of 30-200m. The final number of intelligent agents participating in the coordination is 3-7 (one is reserved as a backup to ensure that the core division of labor is not missing).
[0033] For a single target (predicted to be a medium-sized industrial-grade drone T0 that has intruded into the core protection zone), specific rules are broadcast collaboratively across multiple networks: Target risk value: base 10, with a weighting of 25%-35% for high-security scenarios (peak flight times / event periods), resulting in a final risk value of 12.5-13.5 (highest priority, requiring multi-aircraft coordinated handling). Multi-machine division of labor rules: "1-2 main defense aircraft (prioritizing those with closer distance and higher energy) + 2-4 auxiliary monitoring aircraft (real-time feedback of target trajectory, the number of aircraft increases with the total number of intelligent agents) + 1-2 backup aircraft (to deal with the main defense aircraft's abnormality, 2 aircraft are set when the total number of aircraft is ≥6)"; Communication strategy: Agents in line-of-sight areas (accounting for 60%-80%) use Mesh-4G / 5G private network (rule synchronization latency ≤30ms), while agents in occluded areas (accounting for 20%-40%) use LoRa to supplement, ensuring that the rules of all agents participating in the collaboration are completely consistent.
[0034] Location reporting: The positioning module collects initial coordinates (latitude and longitude error ≤ 1.5m, altitude error ≤ 4m) and broadcasts them across multiple networks in the format "Agent ID - Coordinates - Remaining Energy (88%-100%) - Communication Status". For line-of-sight agents (e.g., A1, A2, A6): Mesh-4G broadcast, 1-2Hz interval; For agents in obstructed / suburban areas (e.g., A3, A4): LoRa+5G private network dual broadcast, 2-3Hz interval; Simultaneously synchronized to scene-related systems (airport air traffic control / venue security / oil depot monitoring) via 5G private network, ensuring that the positional deviation between multiple devices and third-party systems is ≤2m, avoiding airspace conflicts.
[0035] Three to seven collaborative agents lock onto T0 through distributed detection, achieving information synchronization across multiple networks and laying the foundation for multi-machine division of labor. One or two line-of-sight agents (e.g., A1, Mesh-4G communication) initially detect T0 using the RD-C02 radar at a distance of 1.2-2.0 km (error ≤ 0.12 km), initially identifying it as a "suspected medium-sized drone," and broadcast "T0 - Suspected Target - Distance 1.2-2.0 km - Coordinates (Initial X0, Initial Y0, Initial Z0) - Detection Time 00:00:55" via Mesh-4G. One or two obstructed area agents (e.g., A3, LoRa communication) adjust the focal length of their optical components, confirming T0 as a DJI Matrice 350 RTK (medium-sized industrial-grade) at 0.9-1.6 km, and broadcast "T0 - DJI Matrice 350 RTK -" via LoRa. "Altitude 180-230m - Speed 5-8m / s - Data confidence level 96%"; One intelligent agent connected to a third-party system (such as A2, 5G private network) combines scene data (such as airport airspace / oil depot explosion-proof zone range) to determine that T0 has entered the core protection zone (distance from critical facilities 1.0-1.5km), calculates the risk value as 12.8-13.5, and synchronizes it to all intelligent agents through the 5G private network. Finally, all collaborative intelligent agents unanimously confirm the T0 information: "T0 - DJI Matrice 350 RTK - Coordinates (X0,Y0,Z0) - Distance from each aircraft 1.0-2.2km - Risk value 12.8-13.5 - Speed 5-8m / s".
[0036] Multi-network information sharing: Line-of-sight (LOS) agents interact with T0 trajectory data in real time via Mesh-4G, updating every 1-2 seconds to ensure the primary defense candidate aircraft obtains the latest distance; Obstruction / suburban group agents: receive LOS data via LoRa, providing feedback on T0 lateral movement trends every 2-3 seconds. 1-2 agents connected to third-party systems supplement the real-time no-fly zone boundary via a 5G private network to prevent intrusion into normal areas during multi-aircraft defense; Information verification: If an agent (e.g., A6) initially misjudges the T0 speed as 3-6 m / s, after receiving speed data (5-8 m / s) from other agents via the corresponding network, all collaborating agents initiate a consensus algorithm (≥80% node support) to correct local data and ensure consistent understanding of the T0 state.
[0037] Based on the T0 state and multi-machine capabilities, a dynamic division of labor of "main defense + auxiliary monitoring + backup backup" is achieved through multi-network collaboration, clearly defining the roles of multiple machines: 3~7 intelligent agents broadcast in the format of "ID - coordinates - remaining energy - laser range (2.2-3.8km) - communication availability - available role", and the broadcast network is adapted according to the scenario (Mesh-4G is used for the line-of-sight group, with an interval of 2 seconds; LoRa is used for the occlusion group, with an interval of 3 seconds), as shown in the example below: A1: "A1-(X1,Y1,Z1)-98%-3.5km-Mesh-4G Normal-Main Defense / Support"; A3: "A3-(X3,Y3,Z3)-95%-3.2km-LoRa+5G Normal-Main Defense / Support"; A2: "A2-(X2,Y2,Z2)-92%-3.0km-Mesh-4G+5G Normal-Auxiliary Monitoring"; A6: "A6-(X6,Y6,Z6)-96%-3.8km-Mesh-4G Normal-Backup".
[0038] One or two primary defense aircraft are selected, and two or three candidate aircraft are selected from the agents closest to T0 (e.g., A1 is 1.2-1.8km from T0, A3 is 0.9-1.6km from T0); if the distance difference is 0.3-0.5km or ≥0.2-0.3km (first priority), the 1-2 closest aircraft are locked as primary defense aircraft (1 aircraft is selected when the total number of agents is ≤5, and 2 aircraft are selected when the total number of agents is ≥6). The main defense unit broadcasts "Main X - AX → T0 - Defense Segment: Navigation + Image Transmission / Communication + Navigation" through the corresponding network to avoid frequency band conflicts.
[0039] Auxiliary monitoring aircraft selection: 2-4 aircraft from the remaining intelligent agents whose field of vision covers the front, rear, and sides of T0 flight (e.g., A2 covers the front, A4 covers the rear); Division of labor: One or two intelligent agents connected to a third-party system (such as A2) broadcast the airspace status ahead of T0 in real time, while the remaining auxiliary aircraft report the speed / trajectory changes of T0 and synchronize them to the main defense aircraft every 1-2 seconds.
[0040] One or two backup replacement units are selected to deal with anomalies: Select one or two intelligent agents (such as A6) with high remaining energy (≥90%) and laser modules ready, and broadcast "Backup Replacement - AX→T0 - Monitor Main Defense Unit Status" on the corresponding network to prepare for takeover in real time.
[0041] Multiple aircraft are assigned tasks synchronously through corresponding networks (e.g., 1-2 main defense aircraft + 2-4 auxiliary monitoring aircraft + 1-2 backup aircraft). The scenario association system receives the task assignment results through the 5G private network to confirm that all aircraft are within the core protection range and there is no airspace conflict.
[0042] 3-7 intelligent agents carry out collaborative defense according to their assigned roles, and respond to anomalies of the main defense machine through real-time interaction across multiple networks to ensure that T0 remains under continuous control: The main defense machines coordinate as follows: If there are 2 main defense machines (e.g., A3+A1): A3 approaches T0 at a speed of 10-15m / s, reaches a 25-35° angle to the side and rear, and activates the laser after 200s; A1 reaches a 15-25° angle to the other side and activates the laser after 210s. The defense timing is synchronized across networks to avoid interruption; If there is 1 main defense machine (e.g., only A3): 1-2 auxiliary machines (e.g., A2) increase the trajectory feedback frequency (1s interval), and the main defense machine dynamically adjusts its angle to ensure the continuous operation of the corundum.
[0043] Support from auxiliary monitoring aircraft (2-4 units): The auxiliary aircraft covering the front (e.g., A2) reports "No normal target 3km ahead of T0, continuous defense possible"; the auxiliary aircraft covering the side (e.g., A4) reports the movement trend of T0, assisting the main defense aircraft in correcting its angle. Dynamic backup response to main defense aircraft anomalies: If the remaining energy of the main defense aircraft (e.g., A3) drops to 18%-20% (below the threshold of 22%) or the temperature exceeds 58℃, it immediately broadcasts "Main X - AX - Need to exit - Remaining energy 18%-20% - Temperature 58℃" via the corresponding network; 1 or 2 backup backup aircraft (e.g., A6) complete the T0 status query within 10 seconds (distance ≤ 3.8km), broadcast "Backup - AX → T0 - Take over defense segment", and synchronize with the scene association system to confirm the path; the backup aircraft approaches T0 at a speed of 12-18m / s, activates laser to continue the original defense segment, and the original main defense aircraft returns to the backup area.
[0044] The main defense aircraft and the backup aircraft maintain continuous defense in combination. When the auxiliary aircraft detects that the T0 navigation is interrupted and the speed drops below 0.5m / s, it determines that the aircraft has "lost control capability". The T0 aircraft makes an emergency landing in a designated uninhabited area (≥2km away from the core protection zone). The main defense aircraft ceases defense and reports "T0 handling completed". Multiple aircraft resume standby (1 or 2 aircraft monitor the T0 residual value, and the rest return to patrol). The scenario association system confirms that there is no risk in the protected airspace.
[0045] Quantitative verification of defense effectiveness: The scene association system retrieves T0 data: the navigation / communication module is faulty and the fuselage is undamaged, confirming that "the defense is effective and there is no secondary damage"; multiple machines upload operation data (such as the main defense machine's laser duration of 100-160s and the supplementary response time of ≤10s), and the scene association system verifies that "the multi-machine collaborative parameters meet the design requirements".
[0046] System status reset: Normal agents return to their original deployment locations to cool down, returning agents charge and initialize in the standby area, and faulty agents request to rejoin after repair, and the system returns to standby status.
[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, 4 to 8 intelligent agents are dynamically assigned to adapt to different protection scales in different scenarios (e.g., 4 agents for small venues, 8 agents for large airports); 1 or 2 main defense agents + 1-2 backup agents prevent loss of control due to the failure of a single device, and the defense interruption time is ≤10s; Mesh-4G / LoRa / 5G private network / satellite collaboration ensures uninterrupted information in complex environments, and the success rate of cross-network collaboration is 100%; non-lethal lasers only act on electronic modules, without secondary damage to personnel / equipment, and meet civilian safety standards.
[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, when at least two flying laser agents simultaneously target multiple targets in a distributed, self-organizing manner, after 20 agents are powered on and started, they complete layered initialization around the "large cluster - multiple targets" requirement, laying the foundation for collaboration: self-testing is performed according to "laser defense module → detection module → positioning module → multiple communication module", with laser power covering 300-10000W, and the signal strength of multiple communication modules (Mesh-4G / LoRa / 5G private network / emergency satellite) ≥-90dBm and packet loss rate ≤3%; The aircraft are divided into echelons based on their capabilities: Core echelon (8 aircraft, A1-A8): ≥95% remaining energy, full functionality of multiple communication modules, responsible for primary defense of high-risk targets; Support echelon (6 aircraft, A9-A14): ≥90% remaining energy, at least 2 types of communication modules functioning normally, responsible for auxiliary target defense / backup backup; Backup echelon (6 aircraft, A15-A20): ≥85% remaining energy, at least 1 type of communication module functioning normally, responsible for cross-target emergency backup / airspace patrol; Faulty agents (such as A5 laser power exceeding limits, A18 satellite interruption) automatically return to the backup zone 3-10km from the protection edge and at an altitude of 50-200m, ultimately maintaining a total of 20 agents participating in the coordination (faulty aircraft are replaced by the backup echelon). The scoring is weighted by "risk value (50%) + distance from the core area (25%) + speed (15%) + whether it carries a suspicious payload (10%)". High-risk targets score ≥35 (e.g., T0 entering the airport's airspace + speed 8m / s, score 38), medium-risk targets score 25-34 (e.g., T2 unreported low-altitude flight, score 28). High-risk targets are allocated "4-5 intelligent agents (2 core + 2 support + 1 backup)", medium-risk targets are allocated "3-4 intelligent agents (1 core + 1 support + 1-2 backup)", and the backup echelon reserves 2 agents for global emergency use. The core echelon uses 5G private network + Mesh-4G (synchronization latency ≤15ms), the support echelon uses Mesh-4G + LoRa, and the backup echelon uses LoRa + emergency satellite to ensure that the rules of the 20 intelligent agents are consistent globally. Coordinates are collected (latitude and longitude error ≤1m, altitude error ≤3m) and broadcast to multiple networks according to "echelon-ID-coordinate-energy-communication status"; at the same time, 20 intelligent agents are deployed in a three-layer ring area of the protected airspace (core layer: 1-3km from the target, core echelon; middle layer: 3-5km, support echelon; outer layer: 5-8km, backup echelon), and synchronized to the air traffic control system to ensure no airspace overlap. Twenty intelligent agents locked onto 3-5 targets through layered detection, and completed information verification and priority ranking using multiple networks. The core echelon A1 (5G private network) detected high-risk T0 with radar at a distance of 1.2-2.0km, and optically identified a DJI Matrice 600 (medium-sized industrial-grade) carrying a suspicious payload, scoring 38 points, and broadcasting "T0 - High Risk - Coordinates (X0,Y0,Z0) - Score 38 - Detection Time 00:01:00"; the support echelon A9 (Mesh-4G) detected high-risk T1 (near urban commercial area crowds) at a distance of 1.5-2.5km, scoring 36 points, and broadcasting "T1 - High Risk - Coordinates (X1,Y1,Z1) - Score 36 - Detection Time 00:01:15"; the backup echelon A15 (LoRa) detected medium-risk T2 (unreported low-altitude flight) at a distance of 2.0-3.0km, scoring 28 points, and broadcasting "T2 - Medium risk - Coordinates (X2, Y2, Z2) - Score 28 - Detection time 00:01:30”; (T3 and T4 were detected by A3 and A10 respectively, with scores of 35 and 26, both of which are high / medium risk). 20 intelligent agents initiate “layered consensus” – the core echelon first verifies the information of high-risk targets (error ≤ 0.05km), and the support / backup echelon supplements the verification of medium-risk targets to avoid large-scale information congestion; for example, when A2 detects T0, it misjudges the distance as 1.8km (actually 1.5km), and the core echelon A1 / A3 / A4 cross-verifies through the 5G private network and corrects it to 1.5km, and A2 updates the data; the 20 intelligent agents score through multi-network synchronization and output a globally consistent ranking: T0 (38) > T1 (36) > T3 (35) > T2 (28) > T4 (26) to ensure that high-risk targets get core resources first. Based on target priority and tiered capabilities, precise matching of "target-tier-agent" is achieved through multiple networks: Agent capability self-declaration: 20 agents broadcast in the format of "Echelon - ID - Coordinates - Energy - Number of manageable targets (1-2) - Communication status", example: A1 (Core): "Core - A1 - (Xa1, Ya1, Za1) - 98% - 2 units - 5G+Mesh normal"; A10 (Support): "Support - A10 - (Xa10, Ya10, Za10) - 92% - 1 - Mesh+LoRa Normal"; A18 (backup): "Backup - A18 - (Xa18, Ya18, Za18) - 88% - 1 - LoRa + satellite normal." Multi-objective, multi-tiered matching decision (assigned according to priority): High-risk T0 (score 38): Core layer: A1 (from T01.2-1.5km), A3 (from T01.3-1.6km), responsible for primary defense (A1: GPS + image transmission frequency band, A3: Beidou + communication frequency band); Support layer: A9 (from T01.8-2.2km), A11 (from T02.0-2.3km), responsible for auxiliary defense (A9: GLONASS frequency band, A11: trajectory monitoring); Backup layer: A15 (from T02.5-2.8km), responsible for emergency backup; Broadcast "T0 - Core A1 / A3 + Support A9 / A11 + Backup A15 - 00:02:30". High-risk T1 (score 36): Core layer: A2 (11.5-1.8km from T1), A4 (11.6-1.9km from T1), main defense; Support layer: A10 (2.0-2.3km from T12), A12 (2.2-2.5km from T12), auxiliary defense; Backup layer: A16 (2.8-3.0km from T12), emergency backup; Broadcast "T1 - Core A2 / A4 + Support A10 / A12 + Backup A16 - 00:02:50". Medium-risk T2 (score 28): Core layer: A5 (2.0-2.3km from T2), main defense; Support layer: A13 (2.5-2.8km from T2), auxiliary defense; Backup layer: A17 (3.0-3.3km from T2), emergency defense; Broadcast "T2 - Core A5 + Support A13 + Backup A17 - 00:03:10"; (T3 and T4 are matched according to the above logic, and 4 and 3 intelligent agents are allocated respectively. The backup echelon is reserved for global emergency response of A19 / A20). Twenty intelligent agents are deployed in tiers to conduct multi-target defense, and dynamic cross-tier replenishment is achieved through multiple networks to ensure that no target escapes control. T0 Defense (Core A1 / A3 + Support A9 / A11): A1 / A3 approaches T0 at 12-18m / s and activates its laser at 220s; A9 / A11 provides auxiliary defense at 30-40° to the side and rear of T0, feeding back T0's trajectory every 1s via Mesh-4G, and A1 / A3 adjusts its angle in real time. At 300s, T0's navigation signal is interrupted and its speed drops to 2m / s; T1 / T3 / T2 / T4 Defense: The above logic is carried out in parallel, with the core echelon taking the lead, the support echelon assisting, and the reserve echelon on standby. The defense status of each target is synchronized across multiple networks (e.g., T1 is driven away from the crowd area, T2 flies to the reported area). Cross-echelon dynamic backup: Core echelon A3 low-power backup (320-360s): A3's remaining energy drops to 18% (threshold 20%), broadcasting "T0-A3 Exit-Energy 18%-00:05:20"; Backup layer A15 receives the signal via LoRa, calculates the distance to T0 within 10s to 2.6km (≤3.0km), initiates backup, arrives at A3's original position in 335s, and activates the laser; simultaneously, support layer A11 is upgraded to the main auxiliary defense force to ensure T0's defense is not interrupted; Target T1 behavioral mutation replacement: T1 suddenly accelerates to 10m / s, turns towards the airport runway, and its score rises to 40 (exceeding the original priority), requiring an additional core intelligent agent; the global emergency A19 receives the "T1 priority upgrade notification" through the 5G private network, approaches T1 from the outer airspace (5km) within 15s, reaches the side and front of T1 in 400s, activates the laser, and forces T1 away from the runway in 420s; Communication module failure backup: The support layer A10 Mesh-4G failed and could not synchronize T1 trajectory; the backup layer A16 immediately switched to LoRa, took over the trajectory feedback task of A10, and restored T1 trajectory data synchronization in 445 seconds, ensuring the precise defense of the core echelon A2 / A4. Confirmation of successful handling of multiple targets: High-risk T0 / T1 / T3 targets made emergency landings in designated uninhabited areas (≥3km from the core protection zone), with all navigation / communication / image transmission modules failing; Medium-risk T2 / T4 targets were driven out of the protected airspace and the reporting process was completed. Twenty intelligent agents ceased their defense operations and reported "multi-target handling completed" via multiple networks. The air traffic control system confirmed that there was no remaining risk in the protected airspace. High-risk target forced landing success rate 100%, defense interruption duration ≤8s; medium-risk target drive-away success rate 100%, average drive-away time 70-100s; 20 intelligent agents cross-echelon synchronization latency 12-18ms, replacement response time ≤15s, resource utilization ≥85% (no idle intelligent agents); all target aircraft fuselages undamaged, no secondary damage to personnel / equipment, meeting civilian safety standards. Core / support echelons return to their original deployment airspace for cooling, low-battery / faulty intelligent agents return to base for charging and repair, standby echelons continue airspace patrol, and the system returns to standby. In this embodiment of the invention, 20 intelligent agents are assigned to different roles in tiers, with 5 agents assigned to each high-risk target to avoid loss of control due to the failure of a single device; cross-tiered support covers multiple scenarios such as "low power / failure / target mutation"; the resources of the 20 intelligent agents can be flexibly scheduled; simultaneous defense of 3-5 targets improves the handling efficiency by 5-8 times compared to "sequential handling of single targets"; multi-network layered coverage ensures uncongested information synchronization among the 20 intelligent agents, with a 100% success rate in collaboration.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, controlling the at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously target multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed self-organizing manner includes: designating one of the flying laser agents as the master node agent and assigning attack targets to itself and other flying laser agents that are slave nodes.
[0050] Each flying laser intelligent agent is a small-power module (such as 10 kilowatts), which has higher technological maturity, smaller size, and easier heat dissipation (no need for a complex cooling system). Compared with a single 30-kilowatt module, it can significantly reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs and is more convenient for flexible deployment (such as vehicle-mounted, ship-mounted, and drone-mounted).
[0051] Through distributed deployment, multiple flying laser agents can cooperate from different locations. Even if individual flying laser agents are damaged or malfunction, the remaining flying laser agents can still maintain the total energy output through power superposition to ensure continuous damage to the target. However, if a single high-power module fails, the system will be completely paralyzed.
[0052] Multiple flying laser agents can irradiate targets from different angles. After the energy is superimposed on the target surface, the actual energy density may be higher than that of a single module (especially for irregular targets). Under the same total power, it can shorten the irradiation time and improve the interception speed.
[0053] Assuming the original plan: a single 30 kW module needs 20 seconds to destroy a target at a distance of 2 kilometers; after shortening the distance to 1 kilometer (the total power remains 30 kW), it is split into three 10 kW modules for distributed deployment: the damage capability of each 10 kW module at a distance of 1 kilometer is equivalent to the efficiency of the 30 kW module at a distance of 2 kilometers (due to the reduced power requirement from the shorter distance); the three modules can simultaneously illuminate three targets, enabling simultaneous handling of multiple targets (the efficiency improvement of the 30 kW total power at a distance of 1 kilometer); if one module fails, the remaining two can still destroy two targets, significantly improving system reliability.
[0054] For example, the original defensive radius of a fixed position was 5 kilometers (the furthest effective strike range). By moving forward and shortening the distance to the target, the actual defensive area under its control can be expanded outward. Now, it can complete the interception when it moves to a distance of 10 or even 15 kilometers. That is, the combination of its own mobility range and range makes the radius of the overall defensive circle expand (from 5 kilometers to 10-15 kilometers), thus covering a wider area.
[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, the airborne control and communication module is further configured as follows: Based on the received mission instructions, it autonomously plans its flight path to reach the target area; Control the flight platform to fly along the flight path.
[0056] The embodiments of this invention enhance the autonomy and combat response efficiency of intelligent agents, enabling them to calculate and generate flight paths that avoid obstacles, adapt to terrain, and have optimal energy consumption in real time through built-in algorithms after receiving mission instructions, without relying on continuous external remote control. This allows for rapid approach in complex and ever-changing battlefield environments. Secondly, the distributed autonomous decision-making significantly reduces the system's communication dependence and computational load on the central control unit. Even in extreme cases where communication with the ground cluster control unit is interrupted, a single intelligent agent can still independently complete path execution and target engagement tasks.
[0057] Based on any of the above embodiments, the emission parameters of the laser emission module include aiming emission parameters, and the airborne control and communication module further includes an environmental perception unit, which is used to acquire target detection data in real time; The airborne control and communication module is also configured to control the aiming and firing parameters of the laser emission module based on the target detection data.
[0058] The embodiments of the present invention improve the accuracy and anti-interference capability of laser strikes. By acquiring multi-source detection data of the target, such as optical, infrared and laser ranging, in real time through the environmental perception unit, the system can dynamically compensate for aiming errors and improve strike accuracy.
[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, the emission parameters of the laser emission module include emission power and irradiation time, and the cluster control unit and / or the airborne control and communication module are further configured as follows: The emission power and / or irradiation time of the laser emission module are dynamically adjusted based on the real-time distance between the flying laser agent and the target.
[0060] The embodiments of the present invention calculate the distance between the projectile and the target in real time and dynamically match the minimum effective power and the shortest necessary irradiation time based on the energy attenuation model of laser transmission. This ensures reliable damage to targets at different distances and extends the continuous combat time of the intelligent agent.
[0061] Based on any of the above embodiments, the ground support platform is a honeycomb vehicle; The honeycomb vehicle is equipped with the energy supply interface, which is configured to perform energy supply and maintenance operations on the flying laser intelligent agent parked inside the honeycomb vehicle.
[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, the Hive vehicle serves as a ground support platform, enhancing the deployment flexibility and battlefield survivability of the entire defense system. It enables the vehicle to quickly maneuver to the optimal tactical position and rapidly relocate when threatened. The automated energy replenishment interface integrated within the vehicle enables the combat unit to conduct high-frequency, continuous, and cyclical combat operations.
[0063] The architecture diagram of the defense system based on flying laser clusters provided in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the system workflow includes the following stages: (1) Preparation phase: Before executing the cluster mission, the command center determines the combination and configuration of the agent swarm, and clarifies the number, type, mission payload type and configuration of the agent swarm nodes. The command center completes the preliminary pre-planning of the mission routes and mission formations of the hive and agent swarm submachines, and completes the pre-assignment of missions to the agent swarm submachines. The hive launch platform carries the agent swarm and enters the launch area under the cover of other platforms or by utilizing its own performance advantages.
[0064] (2) During the launch assembly phase, after entering the launch area, the swarm launch platform classifies the intelligent agents according to the mission or payload and launches the intelligent agents swarm in succession (multiple platforms / multiple batches). The intelligent agents complete the assembly, networking, and formation in the air to form a swarm. The command center checks the flight status of the intelligent agent swarm, and debugs the satellite or data link communication used to communicate with the rear control station and the self-organizing network used for communication within the swarm.
[0065] (3) During the formation flight phase, the swarm intelligence agents fly in formation towards the mission area according to the route plan or preset route and altitude of the rear control station, and carry out evasive maneuvers based on the real-time situation of the threat and obstacles obtained from tracking and targeting. During this period, the swarm will complete internal coordination and mission planning under the coordination of the command center and the command and control department, and maneuver towards the target in the form of large formation attack or multiple small groups to enter the mission position.
[0066] (4) The task execution phase varies depending on the task. It can be either a large cluster performing a single task or a combination of small clusters performing different tasks. After entering the task area, the agents will perform corresponding actions according to the task or organizational division of labor, mainly as follows: The system guides the automatic tracking system subsystem to capture and lock onto the target through target assignment and coordinate transformation, and then controls the optical system to align it with the target.
[0067] When the target is in the appropriate position, the command and control system activates the energy system, starting the high-energy laser. The high-energy laser emits a beam, which is then directed at the threatening target via the beam control emission subsystem to interfere with or destroy it.
[0068] During an attack, real-time damage assessment is conducted, calculating the cumulative hit probability of the launched lasers on the target. This serves as the basis for decisions regarding laser equipment fire repositioning and ceasefire. The attack results are reported to higher command, and preparations for re-launch are initiated. If the cluster's energy drops to 5-60%, but the mission still requires execution, it can be regrouped in batches at an energy replenishment station for refueling.
[0069] (5) Recovery and post-processing: The laser equipment is recovered and guided and controlled through the precise navigation function of the command and control system. Recovery is carried out by: 1. automatic landing; 2. net capture; 3. magnetic adsorption; 4. hook and cable recovery; 5. water landing; 6. autonomous return and intelligent scheduling to return to the base; 7. self-destruct program or payload jettison can also be activated in case of emergency.
[0070] Diagnostic tools are used to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the recovered laser and maintenance using repair tools, including battery replacement, software updates, and hardware repairs, to ensure the reliability and performance of the UAV in the next mission. Data collected by the logistics support system is promptly downloaded and sent to the command center for analysis to assess mission effectiveness and provide a basis for future improvements; simultaneously, fuel supply is replenished, and faulty components are replaced using spare parts reserves. After inspection and maintenance, the laser is reloaded into the launch system, ready for the next mission. Real-time monitoring of the surrounding environment (such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed) assesses the operating conditions of the laser equipment, ensuring it operates within safe limits.
[0071] This invention provides a defense system based on flying laser clusters, innovatively designing multiple flying laser agents. By flying closer to the target, the laser's range of motion is expanded, thus increasing the defense distance; the distance between the laser and the target is shortened, ensuring the target remains within the effective range, solving the technical problem of insufficient defense distance in existing equipment. The multiple agents employ distributed self-organizing technology, freely combining into multiple squads, each engaging one target, achieving the function of simultaneously engaging multiple targets. When the flying laser agents actively shorten the distance to the target through maneuvering, this flexible tactical adjustment not only reduces power requirements and improves strike efficiency with the shorter range, but also expands their interception coverage (i.e., quickly reaching and effectively dealing with targets from more directions and at greater initial distances), effectively increasing the overall defense radius. With the total power remaining constant, maneuvering flight expands the defense radius and shortens the distance between the target and the laser, creating conditions for "split into distributed small modules". This not only solves the engineering problem by reducing the power requirements of a single module, but also improves efficiency by leveraging the redundancy, flexibility and energy superposition effect of the distributed architecture, thus solving the problems of short defense distance and ineffective multi-target response.
[0072] The following describes the defense method based on flying laser clusters provided by the present invention. The defense method based on flying laser clusters described below can be referred to in correspondence with the defense system based on flying laser clusters described above.

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, controlling the at least two flying laser agents to simultaneously aim at multiple targets or concentrate on attacking a single target in a distributed, self-organizing manner includes: At least two flying laser agents are dynamically grouped into at least one attack squad, and each attack squad is assigned one or more attack targets.
[0075] Based on any of the above embodiments, the defense method based on flying laser swarms further includes: Real-time distance between the flying laser agent and the target is acquired. Based on the real-time distance, the laser emission power and / or irradiation time are dynamically adjusted.
[0076] The defense method based on flying laser clusters provided in this invention can expand the defense radius and shorten the distance between the target and the laser by utilizing maneuvering flight while keeping the total power unchanged. By leveraging the redundancy, flexibility and energy superposition effect of the distributed architecture, the effectiveness is improved, and the problem of weak multi-target response is solved.
