Overall anti drone "bee colony"

Anti UAV "bee colony" combat is the focus of military attention around the world. The foreign military simulation test shows that when the traditional reconnaissance and detection means and the existing air defense system are used to deal with the drone "bee swarm" attack, they often fall into the passive situation of "being unable to see clearly, fight completely, and consume". An important reason for this situation is that people usually regard the "bee colony" as a large number of UAV individuals to intercept, which is easy to ignore one thing and lose another. Therefore, in anti UAV "bee colony" operations, we should learn from the traditional holistic thinking, regard "bee colony" as an organic unity, and investigate and study the countermeasures and defense methods from the perspective of the relationship between the whole and the part of things.

To establish the concept of overall defense and resistance, first of all, we should jump out of the local confrontation mode of intercepting a single UAV one by one at the same time, regard the "bee colony" as an organic whole composed of a large number of different types of UAVs, and consider the relationship between it and other combat systems, so as to select the best combat plan from the overall perspective and implement the overall confrontation. In terms of organizational planning, the anti UAV "bee colony" operation will be integrated into joint operations, and the support and cooperation of other operations will create favorable conditions for anti "bee colony" operations. For example, during the joint power grabbing paralyzed combat, the rear control unit, data communication link, navigation and positioning support systems of the UAV "Bee Cluster" are included into the scope of attack and paralysis destruction. With the help of joint operations, the planning control, action support and coordination with other combat units of the "Bee Cluster" are destroyed in general, and the entire "Bee Cluster" is isolated. In terms of attack focus, it focuses on the interference, suppression and destruction of the transport platform, command and control, communication network and other key support systems of the "Buzzer Cluster" UAV, resulting in overall disability. For example, due to the limited maneuvering distance and endurance, the "Bee Cluster" UAV usually uses a large mobile platform as the "mothership" for remote delivery and planning control outside the defense area. If the "mothership" of the UAV can be found early and accurately identified for preemptive attack, the "bee" can be destroyed in the "nest" and the overall elimination at the source can be achieved. In terms of means application, we should pay attention to the mutual cooperation of various countermeasures and advanced technologies, comprehensively implement policies and conduct joint operations, and achieve the overall defense against UAV "bee colonies" through the superposition and complementarity of operational effectiveness. For example, the network "soft" attack mode can be reasonably combined with the omni-directional and multi type "hard" destruction means to implement multiple combined attacks on the UAV "bee colony", thereby greatly improving the overall interception and attack effect. In 2019, foreign troops organized a series of tests of directed energy weapon anti UAV "Buzzer Cluster". With the support of other combat systems, five laser weapons and high-power microwave weapons were comprehensively used to successfully intercept all 80 UAVs, and the maximum number of interceptions per time reached 20

At the same time, from the perspective of dialectical unity of the whole and the part, if the integrity of the "bee colony" is destroyed or even completely disrupted into sporadic UAV individuals, the combat effect of the "bee colony" can also be reduced or eliminated. Therefore, to establish the overall defense and resistance concept, we should also use a combination of multiple tactical or technical means to disrupt the integrity of their coordination and destroy the order of their actions from the perspective of reducing the play of UAV's "bee colony" advantages, so as to make the "bee colony" become a limited and unrelated individual, so that it can not form a number scale advantage in local time and space, and create conditions for effective interception and resistance in areas, layers and classifications, So as to achieve the goal of overall counter control. For example, electronic interference can suppress the navigation and positioning and intra group communication of the "Bee Cluster" UAV, which can effectively reduce the positioning accuracy, resulting in route deviation, out of order and out of control actions; Or with the help of false target deception, the combat forces are deployed in a wide area and distributed manner, forcing "bees" to disperse and reducing combat effectiveness; Or adopt the mode of "using more to control more", use the advantage "bee colony" to penetrate and harass, destroy the incoming "bee colony" formation by means of impact, or even divide and encircle, to completely solve the threat of "bee colony"
