Detecting laser scattering signals is a commonly used laser warning method,which cannot determine different illuminated targets within the warning range.In order to realize the judgment of different illuminated targets in laser scattering warning,the warning response of each window of the warning device is studied when the laser irradiates the target from various directions.The degree of difference in the warning results caused by different target positions is analyzed.A method for judging the illuminated targets is proposed by using the alarm encoding and pulse timing of the warning results in each window of the warning device.The research results indicate that this method can distinguish two targets with a relative angle of no less than 72° to the warning device and a distance of 50 m from the warning device,and can identify five targets that meet the specified requirements within 360°.The research results provide a technical reference for enhancing the warning capability of scattering detection laser warning device and improving the pertinence and efficiency of subsequent protection.
