Simulation Analysis of the Impact of Strong Electromagnetic Pulses on Drones Under the Influence of HPM

As drone technology gradually matures and a large number of drones are deployed in the armed forces, they have played a crucial role in modern warfare. Various countries are thereby increasing their efforts and resources to develop counter-drone strategies. This paper focuses on analyzing the effects of strong electromagnetic pulses generated by HPM on electric-driven drones, using engineering-level simulation methods for verification. First, a 3GHz HPM is simulated, followed by the construction of a three-dimensional model of the drone and simulating the body gaps. Subsequently, the drone is irradiated using HPM from a perspective closer to actual combat. The internal and external electric field intensities of the drone are compared, and the internal simulated equipment current/voltage are quantitatively analyzed to simulate the damage to internal electronic components of the drone. The radar pattern of target drone detection and RF port S11 parameters are analyzed to simulate drone detection disturbance. This experimental method explores simulation verification methods for the interference of HPM weapons against drones.
