Russian scientists patented a device for "catching" drones

Russian specialists have developed a system that can literally "catch" Drones. We are talking about a device patented by scientists RFNC-VNIITF (Russian Federal Nuclear Center - All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics) from the Chelyabinsk region.

The device itself is, in fact, a rocket that, during the flight, throws out a special super-strong network, which, as a result, is capable of capturing unmanned aerial vehicles.

The information on the Rospatent website indicates that the invention was patented by Russian scientists just a few days ago.

The missile has a special guidance unit, with the help of which it flies into the part of the airspace where the presence of the UAV is recorded. The device is equipped with an additional direction finding unit. The network is located in a container. To ensure the capture of the drone, special weights are placed at the corner points of the network, which contributes to the deployment of the network.

The use of a rocket allows you to provide a speed advantage even before drone, which moves quickly enough and at the same time performs maneuvering. The network is able to capture the drone due to the high kinetic energy of the cargo, acquired at the initial moment when the trap net is “shooted out” from the container.

This method of "catching" drones, apparently, can be quite effective against UAVs that do not differ in large mass.

It is argued that the performance of such a device is currently confirmed by calculations. Now the tests of such a trap for the UAV are coming.

It would be interesting to know how the network "covers" the UAV - from the top (falling parallel to the Earth's surface) or deployed in a vertical plane. And how is it stabilized in space to avoid its collapse?

Kirdyk to drones ... different and all-how they caught fish in the eighties of the last century, all in a row ... but there was only one pollock ... ... they caught a herring, half of the pollock catch ... -were contracted for a flounder, and took all the bottom ones with hermit CRABS ..... They gave a fine to the office ....... And the New Zealanders were wildly happy with our blue whiting fishing, they raked it out with lemonema and grenadier ......

And how is it stabilized in space to avoid its collapse?

You are told, the patent has been received, the mathematical calculations have been made. Compiled differential-integral equations of motion. I suppose a couple of doctorates were defended and washed. It remains to find a ram that will pay "the inventors of the bicycle." In addition to the budget of the Russian Federation, there is no one to sell it. The United States has a dime a dozen of its "scientists" with ridiculous patents. And China even spits on serious patents.

patent received

The meaning of the invention:
"Equipping each throwing barrel with a movable part installed in the specified barrel with the possibility of telescopic extension in the longitudinal direction when the load leaves the barrel provides, in comparison with the prototype, an increase in the length of the throwing barrel, which leads to an increase in the speed of departure of each load and, accordingly, to a reduction in time deploying a trap network to capture a high-speed UAV, increasing the efficiency of its capture.

Here's another real patent with meaning.
Patent No. 6360693 Animal Toy
The patent describes this invention as a stick that can be made of wood, rubber, plastic and other materials. The application for an invention was filed in 1999

Gee-gee-gee ... I wonder how much money was written off for this design? Billion? Two? More? And who wrote this - the son of a member of the government? Granddaughter? Did the institute get at least one hundred thousand through which this "project" was drawn up? The guys don’t bother about big chunks of money at all. They do not even consider it necessary to draw up papers with any plausibility.

Yes, full of you! They took an anti-aircraft missile missile, removed the warhead, inserted a network, tweaked the guidance system - they received a patent. It remains to sell it to someone.

how the network "covers" the UAV

The rocket can be launched from different angles, but, I suppose, launching the rocket, when the "victim" and the "hunter" are in the same "plane", will be "more convenient"! ...

Quote: Profiler

how is it stabilized in space to avoid its collapse.

With the help of "weights"! Diverging weights unfold the network and "maintain" this state for some time ...

[dauria]

when the "victim" and "hunter" are in the same "plane"

Hmm. Through 2 points, you can always draw not even one, but an infinite number of planes ...
Another of the real patents
Patent No. 6883462 Stick for freezing dog excrement
The invention is a device in the form of a hollow cylinder filled with some kind of refrigerant. The device is directed at fresh dog excrement, a button is pressed, the refrigerant is sprayed and freezes all the "good". It can then be folded into a bag and disposed of.
Do not forget that the authors first pay for examinations and patents. And only then, if there are buyers, there will be a profit.

Perhaps there is something similar with a net for UAV fishing, but the environments are different. The density of water and the atmosphere are categorically different, and therefore the behavior of the network, its fall - will be different.

See, Balaganov, what can be done from a simple Singer sewing machine? A small adaptation - and it turned out to be a lovely collective farm binder drone binder.

[Thrifty]

There are already more than a dozen variants of such devices by different companies in the country, and everyone is shooting at other people's UAVs with nets, well, at least not with fishing nets. ....

[Kapkan]

SUCH - not a single one.

[rocket757]

All the fishermen are now very ... surprised !!! Trappers and others who have used cap nets since ancient times!

[Yurahip]

Big big strike for catching butterflies.

[Azimuth]

Add kinetics and the cutter will work. It will be more reliable with a partial hit. And the network will fly more in the open state and the probability of hitting is higher than several drones in a swarm.

[Nikolaevich I]

Finally ! It came to missiles! 40mm (and more ...) missiles can become the main weapon of unmanned fighters! There are already in real life 40-mm missiles with a semi-active laser seeker with a range of up to 2 km ("Pike") ... it is really possible to make 40-mm missiles, for example, unguided missiles with fragmentation-beam (shrapnel) warheads with the "help" of ready-made fragmentation-beam (shrapnel) artillery shells in caliber 35,40 mm ... And proposals for missiles stuffed with nets did not appear "today" (I was even surprised how I managed to "patent" a well-known idea!)! There are also proposals for missiles that deploy their "death rays" like an umbrella or NOE ...

Why catch them? What is their valuable fur?

Why catch them? What is their valuable fur?

For me, it's better to throw out this net, and instead put in an explosive with destructive elements. The skin, of course, will be spoiled ... But it is safer this way.

[Maks1995]

HAHAHA.
HEALTHY OF COURSE, but a kind of working UAV with 4 grids has already been presented in the Russian Federation. (like 4, they wrote)

So what is the essence of the patent then? In the Rocket? in the Grid? Nobody else can produce rockets with a grid?
Or vice versa, we will not be able to untwist for bucks ???

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Original and interesting. Let's see the test results.

In this case, they simply staked out the idea so that later it would be possible either to sell the patent to a large manufacturer, or to organize the production of non-combat systems for various power structures, for example, the National Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service, etc. And some citizens who have plots of land do not really like it when neighbors spy on them from drones, and will willingly purchase such a thing for their needs.
In general, I think there is a potential for sale - that's why they decided to patent this idea, as I see it.

It has been like that for a long time.

Most likely there was no patent for inanimate objects, so they made an application.

[APASUS]

In fact, everything goes along the tried and tested path, it is necessary that the UAV gets into the cloud of foil ribbons used in electronic warfare.

"Russian scientists patented just a few days ago" a similar device, or with such a principle of operation, the Americans showed on the DISCOVERY channel 2 - 3 years ago. You can find videos on YouTube if you like.
