Pragmatic Modelling of High Energy Lasers Effects Against Small Drones

Activity: Talk or presentationScientific poster presentation

Description

Aware of the evolving threat posed by unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, BELDEF is funding the DAP2212 project, which aims to develop a software predicting the performance and risk associated with the use of counter-UAS (CUAS) solutions along the killchain. Amongst the plethora of existing CUAS effectors, high energy lasers (HEL) are gaining interest from various actors. This study proposes parametric modelling of both HEL and UAS, allowing for sensitivity analyses to be conducted, in turn enabling the evaluation of HEL performance when used in various scenarios. Once evaluated and understood, those performance can be integrated in the broader evaluation of CUAS killchains by simulating combinations of HEL with other effectors and/or sensors, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of complex CUAS systems combinations.
