Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional flying path models are used for ballistic orbits, then prediction is relatively accurate, but the models cannot accommodate variations caused by intermittent injection in glide bombs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmodel adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static, fixed flying path models to dynamic models that can adapt to varying conditions. The system uses multiple flying path models corresponding to different ballistic coefficients and allows selection based on real-time tracking data, enabling the prediction system to dynamically adjust to intermittent injection variations in glide bombs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by introducing multiple flying path models with different ballistic coefficients as variable parameters. The system selects and switches between models based on actual tracking information, allowing the prediction accuracy to be maintained across different flight conditions and injection patterns without being constrained by a single fixed model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If a unified data library integrating multiple satellite groups and ground facilities is constructed, then comprehensive surveillance and prediction capability is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurveillance precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex surveillance system into distinct functional modules: surveillance satellite group, communication satellite group, ground facilities, and data processing units. Each segment has a specific function, and they are integrated through a unified data library that manages information flow between components, reducing overall system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by creating a unified data library that serves multiple functions: storing orbital information for both surveillance and communication satellites, managing tracking data from multiple sources, supporting multiple flying path models, and providing data to various ground facilities. This multi-functional database reduces the need for separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
