Remote Land Drone Intervention Head for Hostile-Zone Targeting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for remote-controlled unmanned land vehicles lack the capability for rapid and effective intervention in hostile environments, particularly in situations requiring emergency responses, due to limitations in field of vision and exposure to crossfire risks for intervention forces.
Innovation Solution
A remote-controlled land drone system with a self-propelled base, a support arm, and a head equipped with environment perception systems and narrow-field action means, controlled via a teleoperator center with real-time data transmission, allowing for wide-field visual reconstruction and targeted action in hostile zones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If intervention forces are deployed in hostile environments, then intervention capability is improved, but operator safety deteriorates due to exposure to crossfire and enemy fire
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a terrestrial drone as a copy or surrogate of human intervention forces. The drone is equipped with sensors, processors, and actuators that replicate human observation and intervention capabilities. Operators control the drone remotely, allowing them to perform intervention tasks without physically being present in hostile zones, thus eliminating exposure to crossfire and enemy fire while maintaining intervention capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The drone serves as an intermediary between operators and the hostile environment. It mediates the interaction by being positioned in dangerous zones where human operators cannot safely be. The drone transmits sensory data back to operators and executes commands from operators, acting as a safe intermediary that bridges the gap between human decision-making and dangerous field operations.
2Ease of operation
If security forces use ground-based monitoring, then direct intervention is improved, but field of vision is limited to human-level grazing and lateral perspectives
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the monitoring perspective from ground-level (2D horizontal plane) to aerial (3D vertical dimension). The drone can position itself above the crowd or environment, providing a top-down and omnidirectional view that captures the entire scene simultaneously. This dimensional change eliminates the grazing and lateral vision limitations of ground-based forces, offering comprehensive situational awareness while maintaining intervention capability through remote control.
3Speed
If rapid intervention is required in hostile zones, then response speed is improved, but deployment time and setup complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-positioning the drone in strategic locations before hostile events occur. The drone can be deployed in advance to monitoring positions, with its sensors activated and ready. When a hostile situation arises, the drone is already in position and can immediately begin data collection and intervention operations, eliminating deployment delays and enabling rapid response while maintaining readiness.
