Detection and localization system to determine the location of the laser source in the attack on the aircraft

Original language description

The number of incidents for lasers of different wavelengths is constantly increasing. The Federal Aviation Administration has registered an increase in laser attacks since 2010. The Federal Aviation Administration has registered an increase in laser attacks since 2010. The number of attacks increased by 2,837 attacks up to 9,723 attacks in 2021. The attack is most often carried out with a green laser (532 nm). The low price of high-power laser diodes makes it possible to endanger aircraft during take-off or landing, either unintentionally or with obvious intent. From the point of view of the law, the use of a laser source against an aircraft is an illegal act, which, if the perpetrator is caught, can be punished by imprisonment or a fine. The aim of the article is to describe the results of the "Aviation protection against low-energy lasers" project. The aim of which is to design the structure of technical equipment with an associated algorithmic base and to experimentally verify the possibilities of using an optoelectronic system for the detection and localization of low-power laser sources that threaten the safety of air transport. The device is designed to be installed in the cockpit of an aircraft and contains sensors, which can include a camera, GPS and a digital magnetic compass, which will allow the source to be located and information about the geographic location of the intruder to be transmitted to the Police of the Czech Republic for intervention. Based on a developed algorithm, the built-in processor processes the image in real time with the aim of analysing the position of the source with the subsequent detection of a laser hit. The calculation of the position of the laser source is the result of matching the data from the compass, GPS and camera. The geographic location of the laser source will subsequently be used to perform legal actions in the detection of laser threats to civil aviation.
