A device for remote charging and destroying drones
Source:
Of Course, one can say, «narrow» today's drones is battery life, not allowing aircraft to spend long hours in the air. Of course, there are high-capacity batteries, solar panels and other surveys. But where a more elegant method was proposed by the experts of the Institute of atmospheric optics, Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. They have developed a device for remote charging of the UAV, which can not only charge the «your» the drones, but to bring down the «alien».
The Development was presented at the exhibition the NTI EXPO in the framework of the international forum «tekhnoprom-2017», which was held in Novosibirsk from 20 to 22 June. The new system has a dual purpose — civil defense. Technology Novosibirsk scientists, according to developers, allows to minimize the interference of the atmosphere, and the energy can be transmitted over a distance of several kilometers. In the basis of development is the transfer of energy with the help of special lasers. In addition, if necessary, lasers can be configured to the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles. As reported by researcher of the Institute of atmospheric optics Siberian branch of RAS Grigory Filimonov
«Technology highly efficient addition of a matrix of fiber lasers allows the remote to recharge unmanned aerial vehicles. Their charge, and others — to knock down. We have created an installation with seven channels and got an increase in energy 49 times. The energy can be scaled many times».
