UAV 1 of an unmanned aerial system to counter micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy is deployed in a given area in an open area of at least five by five meters in a vertical position on fixed landing gear legs 2. Control of an unmanned aerial complex to counter micro- and mini - the unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy are carried out by the operator from the ground control panel, and the power supply of the components is provided by the battery 12, while from the output of the battery 12 to the second input-output of the electric motor with a screw pulling propeller 9, a voltage of fourteen volts is supplied, which in the speed controller of the electric motor with is converted into a voltage of five volts by a screw pulling propulsion device 9, fed to the fourth input-output of the control system 3 and then through the corresponding inputs-outputs via stub wire connections feeds the all-round camera 4, the communication system 5, the satellite navigation system 6, the servos of the rudders 7, servo drives of mechanical rods of the mechanism for resetting means of mechanical destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles 8, an angle-view camera 10, and with a voltage of eight to fifteen volts directly feed the electric motor with a screw pulling propulsion unit 9. way: upon visual detection or upon receipt of information about the detection of micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy, the operator from the ground control panel issues a command to take off the unmanned aerial system to counter micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy. The signal from the ground control panel via the radio communication line enters the receiving part of the communication system 5, then from the input-output of the communication system 5 the signal arrives via a daisy-chain wire connection to the second input-output of the communication system 5, and then from the fourth input-output of the control system 3 to stub wired connection enters the first input-output of the electric motor with a screw pulling propulsion unit 9 and sets it in motion.

The UAV 1 performs vertical take-off and climb to the desired height in a vertical position, while the screen of the ground control panel of the operator displays images from the all-round camera 4 and the angle view camera 10, which come from the outputs of the all-round camera 4 and the angle view camera 10 on the eighth and the third input-output of the control system 3, respectively, then from the second input-output of the control system 3 goes to the input-output of the communication system 5, and then via the radio link from the transmitting part of the communication system 5 goes to the input of the ground control panel. At the end of the climb to the required height, at the command of the operator, through the control system 3, the UAV 1 goes into horizontal flight and moves at maximum speed into the coverage area of the enemy's micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles. The entire process of takeoff and piloting is controlled and adjusted by the operator from the ground control panel using control system 3, communication system 5 and satellite navigation system 6, while the exchange of signals between these systems is carried out through the corresponding inputs and outputs of the systems, as well as through the radio communication line between the ground control panel and communication system 5. To change the direction and altitude of the flight of the UAV 1, the operator issues the appropriate commands from the ground control panel, which are received via the radio link into the communication system 5 and then from the input-output of the communication system 5 are sent to the second input-output of the control system 3, after which the control signal from the fifth and sixth inputs-outputs of the control system 3 is fed to the inputs of the servo drives of the rudders 7, setting them in motion. Having entered the coverage area of enemy micro- or mini-unmanned aerial vehicles, the operator combines the direction of flight of UAV 1 with the direction of movement of micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy, occupies a height above them, and then transfers UAV 1 to vertical flight and simultaneously from the remote control ground control issues a command to use means of mechanical destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles stored in a removable container 11. This command in the form of a radio signal via a radio link enters the communication system 5, then from the input-output of the communication system 5 goes to the second input-output of the control system 3 , after which the control signal from the seventh input-output of the control system 3 is fed to the inputs of the servo drives of the mechanical rods of the mechanism for resetting the means of mechanical destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles 8, setting them in motion, thereby opening the plugs of the outlet openings of the tubes of the removable container 11 and throwing out the means of mechanical destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles aircraft. Under the influence of gravity and the oncoming flow from the helical traction propulsion of the electric motor 9, the means of mechanical destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles rush down, forming a cloud of striking elements. Through the air-cooling system of electric motors of micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy, damaging elements enter the electric motors and disable them. The operator evaluates the result of the impact on the screen of the ground control panel, on which the image from the angle view camera 10 is broadcast, and makes a decision to move to the landing site and the need for repeated exposure. Landing of the UAV 1 is carried out in a vertical position on the fixed support legs of the chassis 2. After landing, the removable tank 11 and the battery 12 are replaced, after which the unmanned aerial system is ready for re-use to counter micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy.

The technical and economic efficiency of the proposed invention lies in the fact that the unmanned aerial system for countering enemy micro- and mini-unmanned aerial vehicles provides a solution to the problems of detecting, pursuing and defeating micro- and mini-small-sized enemy unmanned aerial vehicles by mechanically jamming their electric motors using an available resource at hand, such as sand or a mixture of sand, plastic shavings and metal filings. In addition, when applying the proposed invention, it is not required to ensure high accuracy in targeting striking weapons and loitering in the airspace above the field position, which reduces the consumption of the operational resource of an unmanned aerial vehicle and reduces the probability of detecting the position by the enemy.
