The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0037] The core of this invention is to provide an anti-drone air defense weapon system that is economical, reliable, and has strong sustained firepower output, effectively addressing the needs of different air defense scenarios and achieving effective strikes and countermeasures against drones.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions provided by this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figures 1-2 The present invention provides an anti-drone air defense weapon system, which includes multiple subsystems, namely: a pneumatic weapon 100, a monitoring device 200, a robotic arm assembly 300, a rotating base platform 400, a power supply device 500, and a command and control console 600.

[0040] The pneumatic weapon 100 is used to output pneumatic bullets for the system to strike targets such as drones.

[0041] Monitoring equipment 200 is used to detect and identify UAV targets and track targets.

[0042] The robotic arm assembly 300 is used to drive the pneumatic weapon 100 and the monitoring device 200 to rotate, so as to adjust the firing angle of the pneumatic weapon 100 in real time according to the target positioning of the monitoring device 200, thereby achieving all-around strike. Specifically, both the pneumatic weapon 100 and the monitoring device 200 are mounted on the robotic arm assembly 300. The robotic arm assembly 300 includes, but is not limited to, […]. Figure 1 The multi-joint robotic arm mentioned can also be a robotic arm with 6 axes or more. Any robotic arm component with a structure capable of precisely controlling the firing angle of a pneumatic weapon at 100 degrees is within the protection scope of this solution. Generally, robotic arms with 6 axes or more can also be called robots. Robots can include military robots such as reconnaissance robots, industrial robots such as robotic arms, humanoid robots, and biomimetic robots such as robot dogs.

[0043] The rotating base platform 400 is used to drive the robotic arm assembly 300 to rotate 360° in the horizontal plane. After assembly, each subsystem is mounted on the rotating base platform 400 via the robotic arm assembly 300, making it a whole and easy to transport.

[0044] The power supply unit 500 is used to supply power to the pneumatic weapon 100, the monitoring equipment 200, the robotic arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400, and to supply air to the pneumatic weapon 100.

[0045] The command console 600 receives instructions from higher command for target identification, tracking, and strike control. Specifically, the control modules within the command console 600 are connected via signal or electrical connections to the pneumatic weapon 100, monitoring equipment 200, robotic arm assembly 300, rotating base platform 400, and power supply unit 500. The command console 600 includes a computer, communication equipment, and data analysis software. The computer possesses real-time data collection and processing capabilities and can seamlessly interface with relevant subsystems. The communication equipment employs encrypted communication technology to ensure the security and reliability of command transmission, and is also a tactical-level device with anti-jamming capabilities, ensuring stable communication in complex electromagnetic environments. Operators can use the command console 600 to search, lock onto, track, and strike UAV targets. The data analysis software can process radar data in real time and generate optimal strike strategies.

[0046] When the monitoring equipment 200 detects and identifies the UAV target, the command console 600 can control the robotic arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 to rotate to the target position, and control the power supply device 500 and the pneumatic weapon 100 to cooperate in order to strike the UAV target.

[0047] It should be noted that the control method of the command console 600 is to transmit the feedback signal of component A to the command console 600, and then the command console 600 controls components B, C, D and other components to perform their respective actions. The above-mentioned control method of receiving instructions and using the computer's real-time data processing capability to quickly parse the instructions is a conventional technical means.

[0048] The anti-drone air defense weapon system provided in this solution utilizes monitoring equipment 200 to detect, identify, and track drone targets. A pneumatic weapon 100 fires pneumatic bullets to engage the drone targets. The firing angle and direction of the pneumatic weapon 100 are adjusted via a robotic arm assembly 300 and a rotating base platform 400. A power supply unit 500 provides power and air to the pneumatic weapon 100 and other subsystems. When the monitoring equipment 200 detects and identifies a drone target, the command console 600 receives instructions from higher command, controlling the robotic arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 to rotate to the target position. It also controls the power supply unit 500 and the pneumatic weapon 100 to coordinate the engagement of the drone target. Because the pneumatic weapon 100 and its compatible subsystems occupy a small footprint, they are easy to move and quickly assemble. They are economical, reliable, and have strong sustained firepower, effectively addressing the needs of different air defense scenarios and achieving effective strikes and countermeasures against drones.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the anti-drone air defense weapon system is composed of several modular devices connected together. These modular devices include a pneumatic weapon 100, a monitoring device 200, a robotic arm assembly 300, a rotating base platform 400, a power supply device 500, and a command and control console 600. All of these subsystems are modularly designed, facilitating rapid replacement, upgrades, and maintenance, thus improving the system's flexibility and scalability. Standardized interfaces are provided on the pneumatic weapon 100, monitoring device 200, robotic arm assembly 300, rotating base platform 400, and power supply device 500. These components are connected via standardized interfaces, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly, reducing maintenance costs, supporting immediate use, and allowing for rapid replacement or upgrades according to the battlefield environment, effectively improving the system's compatibility and interchangeability.

[0050] Specifically, all components on the pneumatic weapon 100 are assembled using standard Picatinny rails. For example, a standard Picatinny rail is installed on the outside of the pneumatic weapon 100's housing, and various accessories such as sights, night vision devices, laser designators / aims, flashlights, and bayonet mounts can be mounted on the standard Picatinny rail.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the pneumatic weapon 100 includes a pneumatic launching device and pneumatic bullets. The pneumatic bullets are made of high-density materials, and different types of pneumatic bullets can be used according to the target characteristics to improve the strike effect. The pneumatic launching device can fire pneumatic bullets and adopts adaptive adjustment technology, allowing each gun / cannon barrel to adjust the firing angle and automatically adjust the firing pressure according to the target distance. The pneumatic launching device has low cost and long firepower duration. The pneumatic bullets are small, have a high rate of fire, and do not eject casings, therefore, they are very effective against small moving targets such as drones.

[0052] In the first embodiment, the pneumatic weapon 100 also includes an air compressor and a high-pressure gas cylinder, which provide a high-pressure gas source and generate power for the pneumatic launching device. The pneumatic weapon 100 uses a gas cylinder, an electric motor, or an engine to generate compressed gas for power. In the second embodiment, the pneumatic weapon 100 uses the explosion of gas or other combustible gases or combustible liquids for power. In the third embodiment, the pneumatic weapon 100 can adopt a dual-mode combination of the first and second embodiments to provide firepower output power.

[0053] To ensure safety and stability under high-pressure conditions, the high-pressure gas cylinder is made of high-strength composite material. The air compressor and the high-pressure gas cylinder are controlled by a solenoid valve. When the command console 600 receives the target signal from the monitoring device 200, it opens the solenoid valve, and the high-pressure gas enters the pneumatic launching device through the high-pressure gas cylinder, propelling the pneumatic bullet to launch, achieving rapid response and precise strike.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the monitoring device 200 includes an integrated radar and photoelectric sensor. The radar employs advanced electronic scanning technology, featuring long detection range, large scanning area, and high detection speed, enabling rapid and accurate target detection and tracking, and even accurate prediction of target trajectory. The photoelectric sensor utilizes Doppler effect and pulse compression technology, accurately identifying targets, determining their attributes and types, and is unaffected by electronic interference, effectively improving target recognition rate and anti-interference capability. This configuration fully utilizes the advantages of both sensors, compensating for their weaknesses, and improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy. Based on target information, the robotic arm assembly 300 and the rotating base platform 400 are controlled to adjust their orientation, track and aim at the target, and launch an attack.

[0055] The rotating base platform 400 includes a housing, a rotary motor, and a main shaft. The rotary motor is connected to one end of the main shaft via a coupling, and the other end of the main shaft passes through the housing and is connected to the bottom of the robotic arm assembly 300. The housing serves as the supporting component of the rotating base platform 400, and the rotary motor, as the rotational power source of the rotating base platform 400, drives the main shaft and the robotic arm assembly 300 to rotate together. The housing and the main shaft are connected by bearings to achieve rotational stability.

[0056] Rotary motors can be composed of servo motors and encoders to achieve precise angle control and positioning.

[0057] To achieve a lightweight design, the outer shell of the rotating base platform 400 is made of lightweight alloy material with a modular design, facilitating disassembly, transport, and rapid assembly. The power supply unit 500 is located at the bottom of the rotating base platform 400. The rotating base platform 400 or the power supply unit 500 can be mounted on robots, armored vehicles, warships, and airships for anti-drone air defense.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the power supply unit 500 supplies power to the pneumatic weapon 100 and other subsystems, specifically including a battery management unit, batteries, and a generator. The batteries have charging and discharging protection functions and can be high-energy-density batteries. Connected to other subsystems, the batteries can meet the system's long-term operational needs. The generator serves as a backup power source to meet the power requirements of the entire system during prolonged, high-intensity combat operations. The power management unit allocates and plans the power supply to the high-energy-density batteries and the generator, achieving optimal energy utilization through intelligent power distribution technology. For example, when the generator charges the battery, the battery management unit can control parameters such as charging current and voltage to prevent overcharging, thereby protecting the battery and extending its lifespan. Energy recovery technology is employed to reduce the overall energy consumption of the system.

[0059] Of course, depending on the battlefield situation, this utility model can also support the coordinated operation of the entire anti-drone air defense weapon system with electronic warfare, cyber warfare and other means. Through data fusion technology, it can achieve information complementarity of different detection methods, form a comprehensive drone defense system, and improve the effectiveness of anti-drone operations.

[0060] In summary, this utility model discloses an anti-drone air defense weapon system integrating a pneumatic weapon 100, a radar system and photoelectric sensors, and a robotic arm assembly 300. It has functions such as command and control, radar detection, pneumatic weapon strike, and intelligent robot as a platform. It is characterized by modularity, lightweight, portability, long firepower duration, and low ammunition consumption cost. It can achieve the identification and continuous precision strike of drone targets and has broad application prospects and military value.
