An Integrated Scheme of a Smart Net Capturer for MUAVs

Abstract

Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAVs), including consumer-grade ones, have been frequently threatening urban low-altitude security in recent years. This article analyses the necessity to develop specialized technology of anti-MUAVs. Then the article proposes an engineering scheme of a Smart Weapon Capturing MUAVs (SWCM) in an automatic and soft-killing way. The scheme includes a ground subsystem and an aircraft subsystem. The ground subsystem mainly includes optical sighting equipment and handheld launch control device. The aircraft subsystem includes guidance, control, structure, aerodynamic, etc. The design principle of this scheme embodies the technical characteristics of autonomy, high efficiency, low cost and civil-military dual use. The validity of the smart weapon system design is proved by numerical simulations and experiments, and its application is also prospected.
