Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of low-altitude protection technology, specifically relating to a visible light near-infrared short-wave refraction reflective wavefront-coded calorimetric imaging system. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of unmanned systems in both civilian and military fields, security threats in low-altitude airspace are becoming increasingly prominent. Low-altitude targets such as drones and small aircraft are highly stealthy, maneuverable, and inexpensive, and are widely used in scenarios such as illegal reconnaissance, border incursions, infrastructure sabotage, and even terrorist attacks, posing serious challenges to urban security, airport safety, protection of critical facilities, and battlefield situational awareness.
[0003] Existing low-altitude anti-drone systems typically employ fixed single-node deployments or centralized command and control architectures, which have certain shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, the effective radius of a single countermeasure node is limited, making it difficult to cover large key protection areas, and it is prone to creating defense blind spots in complex terrain, urban high-rise building clusters, and other scenarios. On the other hand, traditional systems lack dynamic resource scheduling capabilities and cannot flexibly adjust deployment strategies according to real-time threat situations or temporary security needs, resulting in delayed responses or even failures when dealing with swarm attacks or multi-point intrusions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the bottlenecks of existing technologies in terms of limited coverage and insufficient deployment flexibility. By constructing a two-tiered, elastic hierarchical architecture of "command center + multiple distributed countermeasure nodes," dynamic coverage and precise defense of key protected areas can be achieved. Through cross-level data fusion, a rapid closed-loop response of perception, decision-making, and action can be realized, effectively addressing complex scenarios such as swarm drone attacks.
