A METHOD FOR THE JOINT DESTRUCTION OF A GROUP OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

Claims

A method of jointly destroying a group of unmanned aerial vehicles, which consists in the following: at the control station (CS) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are detected and their current coordinates are determined; at the CS the characteristics of the detected UAVs are determined and they are selected as targets; at the CS the ranges to targets in line of sight are determined and, if they enter the zone of possible destruction, the barrel weapons (BW) are assigned to destroy these targets; at the assigned BW, the current angular positions of their barrels are determined; at the CS the coordinates of the targets are predicted; at the CS the current coordinates of the aiming points for the weapons (AW) within the assigned BW are determined, the current angular positions of the barrels of the assigned BW, necessary for the BW to hit the aiming points, are determined and transmitted to the assigned BW; at the assigned BW, their barrels are brought to the required current angular positions; at the CS, commands for launching the BW are generated and transmitted to the assigned BW;characterized in that at each control station they determine their current coordinates, speed and angular position and transmit them, as well as data from their ground forces, to the other control stations; at each control station they also track UAVs and determine their current speeds and angular positions; at each control station they determine the characteristic features of UAVs and transmit them, together with the current coordinates, speeds and angular positions of UAVs, to the other control stations; at each control station they refine the current coordinates, speeds and angular positions, as well as the characteristic features of detected UAVs; at each control station they determine the ranges to targets in direct line of sight for all control stations and, if the targets enter the zones of possible destruction, they distribute these targets between control stations and assign ground forces to destroy their targets; at the assigned ground forces the current angular positions of the barrels are transmitted to their control station; at each control station they also predict the speeds and angular positions of their targets;The external conditions sensors (ECS) of each control system determine the current wind speed and direction, air temperature and atmospheric pressure and transmit them to its control system; each control system also calculates the trajectories of the SP movement to its targets, taking into account external conditions; at each control system, as targets are destroyed, the remaining targets in line of sight that have entered the zones of possible destruction are distributed among the control systems.
