Analysis and study on the ballistic design of small-caliber grenade anti-UAV

With the rapid development of UAV technology, the use of unmanned weapons on the modern battlefield has innovated the combat mode and changed the form of warfare. In order to ensure national security and deal with potential war risks, it is imperative to carry out research on anti-drone weapons and equipment. Compared with the electromagnetic signal jamming and interception network anti-UAV technology, based on the existing small-caliber grenade launch platform, the technology of using projectile explosion fragments and shock waves to destroy the enemy's UAV equipment has the advantages of lower cost, faster research and development, more complete damage and higher fault tolerance. Based on fluid mechanics, projectile design theory, internal and external ballistics theory and numerical simulation technology of modern weapon systems, this paper reasonably optimizes the shape of small-caliber grenades, and uses the characteristics of prefabricated fragmentation explosion to damage different parts of the UAV, so as to achieve the effect of anti-UAV.

Abstract

With the rapid development of UAV technology, the use of unmanned weapons on the modern battlefield has innovated the combat mode and changed the form of warfare. In order to ensure national security and deal with potential war risks, it is imperative to carry out research on anti-drone weapons and equipment. Compared with the electromagnetic signal jamming and interception network anti-UAV technology, based on the existing small-caliber grenade launch platform, the technology of using projectile explosion fragments and shock waves to destroy the enemy's UAV equipment has the advantages of lower cost, faster research and development, more complete damage and higher fault tolerance. Based on fluid mechanics, projectile design theory, internal and external ballistics theory and numerical simulation technology of modern weapon systems, this paper reasonably optimizes the shape of small-caliber grenades, and uses the characteristics of prefabricated fragmentation explosion to damage different parts of the UAV, so as to achieve the effect of anti-UAV.
