Abstract
The sky-screen is a kind of sensor for detecting flying projectile. Due to the uncertainty of the test environment, the
traditional sky-screen cannot work stably. Especially in the low environmental illumination, the detection ability of the
traditional sky-screen is too low to meet the detection requirements of the projectile in the weapon testing range. In order to
improve the detection ability of traditional sky-screen in the low environmental illumination, based on the detection principle
of the traditional sky-screen, this paper designs a fan-shaped laser source with a certain thickness by using high-power
laser, the high-power laser is located in the traditional sky-screen, meantime, make the fan-shaped laser area coincide with
the detection area of the traditional sky-screen, the test system formed is called laser-screen. When the target passes
through the detection area of laser-screen, we establish a calculation model of laser reflected energy and target radiation
flux, and derive the signal-to-noise ratio function of the target detected by the laser-screen according to this. Through
calculation and experiment, we obtain the conclusion that when the environmental illumination is less than 1800Lx, the
signal-to-noise ratio of the laser-screen can reach more than 4.5, while the signal-to-noise ratio of the traditional sky-screen
is less than 1.5, the results show that the detection ability of the new designed laser-screen is significantly better than that
of the traditional sky-screen.
