Abstract

Due to its design, the defender has an automatic mechanism characterized by the fact that many elements of the defender, such as: The frame (4) and barrel (1) are controlled by the barrel holder (9), which is automatically driven by the tracker (14) that aims at the moving target before the trigger mechanism engages the trigger (12). The sensor (13) detects any targets near the barrel, which are intelligently processed by the tracker's (14) electronics to identify dangerous threats. The pouch retriever wire (8) is released by the pouch retriever motor (10), which is automatically controlled by the trigger mechanism (11) before the shot is fired at the target.

Description

[0001] The design of an automatic, environmentally friendly, portable anti-aircraft system includes at least: - A barrel for guiding the projectiles, which may consist of a metal / composite tube through which the projectiles fly and at the muzzle (the front end of the barrel where the projectile exits) - More than one projectile, which can be made from frozen liquids / gas objects, that is fired at targets. They could shatter upon impact or evaporate before landing. - More than a loader, consisting of an internal mechanism for loading projectiles into the barrel. - A frame to provide support and anchor the straps. It can be made of lightweight metal or composite materials. - More than one band, which must be made of elastic material to propel the projectile to the target. It could be made of flat latex or tubular material. The band can be replaced by a spring mechanism to achieve similar performance. - A pouch to hold and accelerate the projectiles when the band is released, typically made of leather or other lightweight materials with grids to reduce air resistance. - A pouch retriever wire can be made of steel wire or synthetic rope to retrieve the pouch after it has been shot. - A barrel holder to hold the barrel could be made of metal or composite materials. - A bag retriever motor to retrieve the bag by electrically wrapping the wire; it can be derived from various types of DC motors. - A sensor to detect all objects flying near the barrel. This can be a combination of different sensor types that can detect the object's distance, speed, angle, dimensions, and noise. - A tracker to align the rifle with the target at various angles. It can be a combination of electronics and software that can intelligently identify multiple threats based on predefined criteria. It primarily receives data from the sensor and can also be wirelessly controlled remotely from another computer. - A triggering mechanism consisting of an electrical system to pull the lever and release the bag that fires the projectiles. - A trigger to hold the bag in place after it has been pulled out by the motor.

[0002] The problem addressed by the invention according to claim 1 is to create an anti-aircraft mechanism equipped with an automatic mechanism. This automation is reflected in the intelligent firing mechanism, which targets the flying target and is supported by the firing mount.

[0003] The need for environmental friendliness is addressed in claim 2 through the use of frozen liquid / gas projectiles that break apart and vaporize upon impact with the target before falling back to Earth. The projectile fragments must also not cause any pollution or other impact on the environment. The use of a rubber band to launch the projectiles also reduces noise levels when used near hospitals or residential areas.

[0004] The underlying problem, which is easily solved in confined spaces, is illustrated in claim 3 by its small dimensions and the use of lightweight materials. If necessary, the defender can also be mounted on roofs, vehicles, or other small platforms.

[0005] The need for intelligence is specified in claim 4 through the use of sensor fusion and an intelligent tracker to process the incoming signal and identify threats based on a predefined category. The tracker is intended to rotate and move the barrel through a specific angle to aim at one or more targets before firing.

[0006] In Fig. The loader (3) is open to allow the new projectile (2) to slide into the barrel (1). Before this happens, the pouch retriever motor (10) pulls the belt (5) through the pouch (7) until the position is ready for inserting the trigger (12) to hold the pouch. The trigger (12) is automatically pressed by the release mechanism (11). Several projectiles (6) can be loaded into the barrel (1) before the loader (3) is closed. The frame (4) is automatically aligned with the target by the barrel holder (9) before the release mechanism pushes the trigger (12) down. Before firing, the pouch retriever motor (10) must automatically release the pouch retriever wire (8) under the control of the release mechanism (11).

Claims

[1] Due to its design, the defender has an automatic mechanism characterized by the fact that many elements of the defender, such as: The frame (4) and barrel (1) are controlled by the barrel holder (9), which is automatically driven by the tracker (14) that aims at the moving target before the trigger mechanism engages the trigger (12). The sensor (13) detects any targets near the barrel, which are intelligently processed by the tracker's (14) electronics to identify dangerous threats. The pouch retriever wire (8) is released by the pouch retriever motor (10), which is automatically controlled by the trigger mechanism (11) before the shot is fired at the target. [2] The defense system is environmentally friendly because it is designed so that the projectiles (6) consist of a frozen liquid / gas object that breaks up and vaporizes upon impact with the target before falling back to the ground. Materials such as ice cubes or dry ice cubes do not pose a significant environmental hazard when they strike the runway or roof structures. This is advantageous due to their small size and fragility. Under normal weather conditions, the frozen material melts and vaporizes. The elastic material bands (5) produce very little noise when the projectiles are launched. This is an advantage over firearms when the defense system is used in quiet areas such as hospitals or residential complexes. [3] The defender is portable due to its design, which is characterized by the small dimensions of the barrel (1) and the barrel holder (9) and also provides for the use of composite / lightweight materials. [4] The defender is intelligent due to its design, which is characterized by the fact that the sensor (13) detects all objects flying near the barrel and can consist of different types of sensors that can be combined to detect the object's distance, speed, angle, dimensions, and sound (sensor fusion). It also has a tracker (14) that can rotate the barrel to different angles to aim at the object (this can be 180° for elevation and 360° for azimuth). The tracker (14) can be a combination of electronics and software that is intelligent enough to identify multiple threats based on predefined criteria. It primarily receives data from the sensor and can also be wirelessly controlled externally by another computer.
