Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If vehicles are used to launch missiles in conventional air defense systems, then the system can provide defense coverage, but the system requires time to deploy the vehicles to desired positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical vehicle-based missile launch system with a flying object (drone) that can autonomously navigate and intercept targets. This substitution eliminates the need for physical vehicle deployment to predetermined positions, as drones can dynamically fly to interception points based on real-time threat detection, thereby reducing deployment time and improving response efficiency.
2Reliability
If vehicles are moved to desired positions to launch missiles, then the system can be positioned for effective engagement, but time is consumed in the deployment process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic deployment strategy where flying objects are not fixed at predetermined positions but can dynamically adjust their locations based on real-time threat assessments. The system determines optimal interception points and directs drones to these positions dynamically, maintaining engagement effectiveness while minimizing deployment time through adaptive, real-time positioning rather than static pre-positioning.
3Reliability
If flying objects are deployed along patrol paths, then the system can provide continuous coverage, but rapid reallocation is needed when threats are detected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic path adjustment where flying objects transition from predetermined patrol paths to interception courses when threats are detected. The system calculates optimal interception points and directs drones to these positions, enabling rapid reallocation while maintaining coverage continuity through coordinated adjustments across the fleet.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where threat detection information is processed to dynamically adjust patrol paths and interception strategies. When threats are detected, the system receives feedback about target positions and characteristics, then reallocates flying objects accordingly, enabling rapid response while maintaining overall coverage through continuous monitoring and adjustment.

AI summary
A guidance device 120 is provided with a processing device 124 that generates a control signal to control a propulsion device 110 of a flying object 100 and a communication device 121 that transmits the control signal to the propulsion device 110. The processing device 124 generates a patrol control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies along a first patrol path and generates, based on information of a moving object that the flying object 100 is to intercept, an interception control signal to control the propulsion device 110 so that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object. In addition, the processing device 124 generates, when generating the interception control signal, a notification signal to notify that the flying object 100 flies toward the moving object.
