Industrial Facility Protection Degree from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Attack Determining

Using the example of a specific industrial facility, a technique for determining of its protection degree from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) attacks is given. The initial data assumes that the maximum explosive charge carried by the UAV is predetermined, and it is initiated at a distance of the mesh protective screen covers the facility. This assumes that the UAV is equipped with an inertial fuse that is activated when the UAV hits an obstacle located in its path. It is assumed that the size and initial velocity of the fragments generated by the UAV charge are predetermined. As the calculations result, dynamic loads on the protected industrial facility enclosing structures are determined. The technique which allows reducing dynamic loads created by low-power charges located at an minor distance from the attacked surface to equivalent static loads is presented. This allows designers to determine the facility stability degree to explosive loads. The technique for penetrating ability of fragments generated by the UAV charge detonation determining is presenting.
