Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If simulated missiles are used to trigger countermeasures, then the probability of target hit is improved, but the complexity of coordinating multiple devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the CCM device with the anti-aircraft missile launcher into an integrated system. The control unit of the launcher coordinates the timing and operation of both the simulated missile emission and the real missile launch, reducing operational complexity while maintaining the enhanced hit probability achieved through countermeasure triggering
2Reliability
If multiple simulated missiles are launched to exhaust countermeasures, then the effectiveness against aircraft is improved, but the time required for the operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic emission of simulated missiles in coordinated sequences. The control unit manages timed intervals between simulated missile launches and the subsequent real missile launch, creating a rhythmic operation pattern that efficiently depletes countermeasures while minimizing overall operation time through optimized timing
3Reliability
If real anti-aircraft missiles are launched simultaneously with simulated missiles, then the probability of hitting the target is greatly improved, but the coordination between systems becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the CCM device and the anti-aircraft missile launcher into a single integrated system with a unified control unit. This coordination architecture manages the simultaneous operation of simulated and real missiles, simplifying the complexity of inter-system coordination while achieving greatly improved target hit probability through synchronized multi-missile engagement

AI summary
The invention refers to an air defense system comprising at least one counter countermeasures device, and at least one anti-aircraft weapon system and to an anti - aircraft combat method comprising said air defense system. The counter countermeasures device is configured for generating and emitting electromagnetic radiation of appropriate wavelengths, i.e. simulated missiles, that mimic real anti-aircraft missiles, and, in this way, the anti-aircraft missile launch warning and detection system (MLWDS) installed on aircrafts are deceived and the countermeasures are released. The operation of the counter countermeasures device and of the anti-aircraft weapon system, i.e. emitting of simulated missiles and launching of anti-aircraft missiles, is coordinated. The counter countermeasures device is implemented as a standalone device or is attached to or is integrated into the anti-aircraft weapon system. With the proposed air defense system and method, the efficiency of the anti-aircraft combat is highly improved, i.e. the probability of the target hit is highly improved.
