Fast acting active protection system
A fast acting active protection system for military vehicles defeats RPG (rocket propelled grenade) threats fired from close ranges. The system minimizes the hazard to troops and civilians nearby. The system uses a plurality of passive sensors to locate the threat and initialize the system. A low cost radar or laser tracker is used as the means to determine range, velocity, and (if required) angular position of the threat. The countermunition used may be one of several choices, with the requisites being that the countermunition provides fast response with low inertia, and is able to damage or destroy the detected threat. A multi-barrel recoilless gun is the weapon of choice. A launching device is used to deploy and aim the countermunition and the tracking means. On board software and electronics are used to control the system.

InactiveCN101834473AImprove efficiencyLarge transmission distanceElectromagnetic wave systemCircuit arrangementsCapacitanceDiscriminator
The invention discloses a resonant tracking non-contact power supply device and a resonant tracking non-contact power supply method and aims to mainly solve the problems that the transmission efficiency and transmission distance are reduced and induction voltage is sensitive to load change caused by the change of a resonant point in an LC resonant non-contact power supply. An excitation source with adjustable frequency and amplitude is formed through an adjustable switch power source (102) and a half-bridge switch (103) and is applied to a resonant circuit consisting of an emitting coil (112) and a resonant capacitor (113); a current signal in the resonant circuit is acquired by using a current sampler (104); an automatic resonant frequency tracking circuit consists of a comparator (105), a phase discriminator (106) and a controllable oscillator (107); when the resonant point changes, an excitation frequency is automatically adjusted and an automatic excitation voltage adjusting circuit consists of a wave detecting and filtering circuit (109), an error amplifier (110) and the adjustable switch power source (102) to automatically adjust the excitation voltage when a load changes, so a load voltage is basically constant. The resonant tracking non-contact power supply device can overcome the effects caused by resonant frequency change and load change and is applicable for the occasion of close-range and high-efficiency non-contact power transmission.
