    The invention of the (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) neutralising device is intended to provide neutralisation of RPA aircraft (threat) by means of a trapping, collection and immobilisation device connected to the belly of another RPA (neutraliser) for release at a predetermined location. The main objective of the invention is to trap the rotors of the RPA to be neutralised using synthetic/natural fibres without exceeding their elastic limit and holding the trapped drone in order to prevent damage to third parties. The preferred manufacture of the invention will use composite materials, mainly carbon fibre and Kevlar® 49.

    [0001]
    [0002] RPA neutralizing device (Remotely Piloted Aircraft).
    [0003]
    [0004] Sector of the technique
    [0005]
    [0006] Belonging to the mechanical engineering sector, B64 (Aircraft, aviation): B64D 5/00 (Equipment available for aircraft, for operations carried out during the flight, release or collection of articles, aircraft transported by aircraft).
    [0007]
    [0008] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0009]
    [0010] Previous background not found. For a better explanation, the object of the invention is to provide a system for neutralizing RPA (Remoted Pilot Aircraft) aircraft by means of another RPA aircraft, with a device for trapping, collecting and immobilizing and transporting it to a pre-established place .
    [0011]
    [0012] Explanation of the invention
    [0013]
    [0014] There is a current demand related to security, which implies a protection solution against the threat of attacks with RPA and other types of drone. This invention focuses on the immobilization and neutralization of the RPA type drone (Remoted Pilot Aircraft), by means of a device that would be anchored to another RPA to intercept and neutralize it. Various protection methods are being studied by inhibiting RF signals and GPS positioning system. These methods can inhibit RPA but can not control it safely. The competitive advantage of the present invention is that it interception of the RPA threat in a mechanical way, preventing its navigation. The neutralizing action is permanent, unlike the other methods.
    [0015]
    [0016] As a solution, this invention is presented, composed of a series of elements that make up the neutralizing device. It can be manufactured in different ways but always fulfilling the same action, which is to trap the propellers of the RPA to neutralize, by winding natural and / or synthetic fibers in the propellers.
    [0017]
    [0018] Once the RPA can not navigate through the entrapment of the propellers in the fibers, it is picked up by mechanical arms in cross-blade arrangement.
    [0019]
    [0020] The neutralizing device will consist of two systems differentiated according to their action.
    [0021]
    [0022] A first system consists of a set of elements whose function is to trap the propellers of the RPA. It will be composed of a first structural element (1) made of resistant synthetic materials, which will serve as a framework to the system. A second element composed of several synthetic and / or natural fibers stacked and joined at one of its ends (2). It may be of a variable number, according to the design needs and it will be adaptable to the scale of the RPA to be neutralized. They will be joined by a connector to a mechanically deployable beam-box (3). The synthetic and / or natural fibers will be resistant to the beating of the propellers and will allow deformation (without reaching the elastic limit) to be able to wind up in the helix, trapping it and slowing down its rotation. This entrapment will allow the device to brake the RPA and engage in the same number of points where the fibers are trapped.
    [0023]
    [0024] The second system of the device will consist of four mechanical arms articulated in two segments (4). They will be activated automatically and almost simultaneously to the entrapment of the RPA to neutralize and hold the RPA. They will have a disposition of crossed vanes and will be in solidarity with the whole of the first part.
    [0025] The two parts will be joined to the neutralizing RPA by means of a quick coupling mechanism in its ventral part (5).
    [0026]
    [0027] Based on the above description, the operating procedure of the two systems would be as follows:
    [0028]
    [0029] • Sleep mode: the device will be in sleep mode in the take-off and flight phase until the moment of the interception of the RPA threat in which it would switch to operational mode. In this resting mode the fibers are horizontal with respect to the device and held at both ends, the beam boxes are retracted facilitating the flight of the aircraft.
    [0030]
    [0031] • Operating mode: the device will enter operational mode seconds before the interception of the RPA threat by instructions of the operator, the beam cages are deployed releasing the fibers that will happen to be in vertical position with respect to the device and joined by one of their extremes.
    [0032]
    [0033] • Action mode: the device will be in action mode once the fibers make contact with the propellers of the threatening RPA, winding their propellers and braking them, the second system of entrapment of articulated arms in the form of a blade entering into action. These arms will be automatically activated on contact with the ventral part of the device by means of a mechanical spring.
    [0034]

    [0058] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0059] (1) Structural element: A hexagonal shape is chosen in which the six extensible beam drawers are housed. It will be manufactured in combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar 49 arimid fiber, the combination of both fibers allow to have adequate mechanical characteristics and resistance to impacts. The resin to be used for the formation of the composite material will be Epoxy Resin. We will use techniques of contact modeling of pre-impregnated fibers assisted by vacuum and autoclave techniques for the curing phase.
    [0060] (2) Natural and / or synthetic fibers: These fibers will be housed in a piece of composite material held at one end. At this end, a connector will be available to be easily exchanged, this will connect with the beam-box. The length of the fibers will be approximately 570 mm, it will vary from one model to another depending on the design specifications. This module of fibers will have a mechanism of rotation to pass from the resting phase to the working phase by disengaging the distal end that will be housed in a central compartment of the structure in its ventral part.
    [0061] (3) Drawers-beam: They will be a fixed drawer anchored to the structure and two drawers extensible mechanically by means of a spring that will be activated remotely. They will be made of the same material as the structure, and will have a motor / servo that will allow the fibers to rotate to put them in the working position. The length of the beam drawers at rest will be 150 mm and in the working or extended position of 315 mm. Giving the device a wingspan together with the structure between 943 mm and 1280 mm approximately. This configuration will be adaptable depending on the size of the RPA threat. In the market there is a wide variety of models but they do not usually exceed 1045 mm.
    [0062] (4) Articulated mechanical arms: They shall be made of metal and shall be of round hollow section. One of the segments will be housed in the other and will have an articulated mechanical spring that when fully extended is flexed inward to thereby trap the RPA. At the end of the arm will go a shovel in the form of a spoon and that will serve to increase the contact surface in the grip of the trapped RPA. This blade will be manufactured in a thermostable polymer.
    [0063] (5) Quick coupling connector: It will be a COTS and compatible with the neutralizing RPA. For this manufacture we will use a connector of the brand Ronin® that will facilitate the connection with the drone chosen for its assembly.
    [0064] This invention is susceptible of industrial application because it can be manufactured in various forms and materials, depending on the technical design specifications and the operational needs to which it is intended. It must only fulfill the functions of the invention described above which are to trap the helices of the RPA to neutralize and hold the trapped drone by means of fibers.
