Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional numerical integration methods are used for calculating flight paths and predicting missile trajectories, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to low calculation speed and high resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional numerical integration methods (mechanical calculation systems) with deep learning-based neural networks. The system uses offline training with pre-calculated trajectory data to create a trained neural network that performs online prediction, substituting iterative numerical computations with a trained model that provides both high accuracy and real-time performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements offline training phase where the neural network is pre-trained using pre-calculated missile trajectory data before actual operation. This preliminary action allows the system to store learned patterns in the neural network weights, enabling fast online predictions without performing heavy numerical integration during critical real-time operations.
2Reliability
If automated impact avoidance systems are implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple control models and notification systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the automated system into distinct functional modules: impact detection unit, control model selection unit, multiple control models (first and second control models), and operator notification unit. Each module performs a specific function, making the complex system more manageable and maintainable while ensuring reliable operation through specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent selects between different control models based on changing operational parameters and conditions. The control model selection unit determines which control model to activate by evaluating current system state parameters, allowing the system to adapt to varying conditions and maintain reliability across different operational scenarios.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple control models are used for different operational conditions, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal control model selection mechanism that manages multiple specialized control models. The control model selection unit serves as a universal interface that evaluates current conditions and routes to the appropriate control model, allowing the system to handle diverse operational conditions through a single management architecture rather than requiring separate dedicated systems for each condition.
