Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scheinziel umfassend zumindest zwei Radarstrahlung reflektierende Corner-Reflektoren (11), wobei die Corner-Reflektoren (11) in einer Reflektormatrix (10) mit einer durch das zumindest eine Verbindungselement (15) vorgegebenen Höhen-, Seiten- und/oder Tiefenstaffelung entsprechend einem nachzubildenden Ziel angeordnet sind.
Abstract:
Vorgeschlagen wird ein Täuschkörper (3) zum Schutz eines Schnellfliegers (1) gegen eine ankommende Bedrohung (2), wobei dieser antriebslos ist. Der Täuschkörper (3) weist endseitig ein Anzündstück (6) und mündungsseitig einen Formkörper (11) auf. Besitzt der Täuschkörper (3) einen Wirkmassenbehälter (8), kann das Anzündstück (6) an diesem endseitig und der Formkörper (11) mündungsseitig an diesem angebracht werden. Das Anzündstück (6) enthält eine Treibladung, die in eine Antriebsenergie umgewandelt wird. Der Formkörper (11) ist schwerer als der Täuschkörper (3) ohne Formkörper (11) und hat die Aufgabe, das Separieren des Täuschkörpers (3) nach hinten zu verhindern. Dazu sollte der Formkörper (11) zumindest 1,0-1,5-fach schwerer sein als der Täuschkörper selbst. Vorteilhaft ist der Formkörper (11) aber doppelt so schwer.
Abstract:
A passive radar decoy (301) for deploying from a magazine on an aircraft, the decoy comprising an elongate body (302) having at least one radar reflective surface (316, 320) and a plurality of fins(304) that project from the elongate body.
Abstract:
An assembly is configured for connection to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and comprises a plurality of emulator devices each configured for attachment to the UAV and a plurality of first connection tethers each configured to operably couple a respective one of the plurality of emulator devices to the UAV at a respective spacing from the UAV. The emulator devices each comprise an emulation component configured to provide, to a target detection system, a characteristic associated with a respective type of airborne object. The plurality of respective first connection tethers each comprises material that does not substantially reflect RF energy. During flight of the UAV, when the assembly is connected, each respective emulator device maintains the respective spacing from the UAV and emulates the characteristic to the target detection system, such that the assembly emulates, to the target detection system, a plurality of airborne objects.
Abstract:
A method is described that includes receiving identification of a drone configuration from at least one user. The method includes receiving identification of training abilities from a plurality of trainers, wherein a training ability comprises an ability to provide assistance in resolving technical issues involving one or more drone configurations. The method includes receiving a training request from the at least one user for assistance in performing at least one action involving the drone configuration. The method includes identifying a trainer of the plurality of trainers with training ability applicable in assisting the at least one user in performing the at least one action. The method includes providing a training session between the at least one user and the trainer, wherein the training session comprises an electronic display simultaneously visible on a mobile device of the at least one user and a mobile device of the trainer.
Abstract:
A balloon decoy device for frustrating an active electromagnetic radiation detection system is disclosed. The device may include an inflatable balloon that is substantially transparent to electromagnetic radiation emitted by the system. The balloon may enclose a retroreflector for reflecting the electromagnetic radiation toward a source of the radiation.
Abstract:
Aircraft decoy arrangement and method for generating a decoy signal from an aircraft having an isolated decoy. An aircraft receiver detects a threat signal from a threat source targeting the aircraft. An aircraft signal processor produces a decoy relay signal based on the threat signal, where the decoy relay signal frequency is significantly lower than the threat signal frequency and is slowly attenuated through air, the signal processor calibrating the decoy relay signal in accordance with a received test signal to compensate for inaccuracies. An aircraft transmitter transmits the decoy relay signal and an optional reference signal to the decoy, where it is received by a decoy receiver, converted back to a decoy signal by a decoy frequency converter, and transmitted by a decoy transmitter, causing the threat source to detect the decoy signal and lock onto the decoy rather than the aircraft.
