UAV cluster combat system utilizing ad-hoc network data chain

Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster combat system utilizing an ad-hoc network data chain. The UAV cluster combat system consists of subsystems, including a wireless ad-hoc network data chain, an optoelectronic pod, an UAV cluster, a ground command and control center and the like. The UAV cluster can independently construct an ad-hoc network data chain according to battlefield environment and cluster distribution situation, transmits information collected by the optoelectronic pod (including a laser range finger, a GPS / BD receiver, a high-definition CMOS camera and the like) to other UAV in the UAV cluster and the ground command and control center through the ad-hoc network data chain, and completes operations, such as target reconnaissance, bomb-dropping and striking, evaluation after striking, and the like, under remote control of the ground command and control center. The ad-hoc network data chain can optimize in real time according to battlefield environment change, is not damaged due to damage of a certain UAV, greatly expands the combat range and combat flexibility of the UAV cluster, and can greatly meet requirements of the modern battlefield. In addition, the system also has huge application prospect in the fields of natural disaster rescue, urban traffic management and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is an unmanned aerial vehicle group combat system adopting an ad hoc network data link, which belongs to the technical field of wireless communication. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the development of modern warfare has shown an obvious trend of unmanned warfare. UAVs have many advantages in modern warfare, and their main operational characteristics are low cost, good concealment, no fear of casualties, simple take-off and landing, and support for multiple mission types. However, a single UAV combat system has disadvantages such as small reconnaissance strike range, short time, poor adaptability and easy to be destroyed. In order to meet the needs of future wars, UAVs are developing from traditional individual auxiliary training and combat support functions to multi-functional directions such as communication relay, battlefield management, fire guidance, damage assessment, early warning, and electronic countermeasures. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] First of all, limited by the traditional point-to-point communication method, the existing UAV swarm combat system can only operate within the effective communication distance of a single UAV, and the combat range is small

[0005] Secondly, all UAVs only communicate with the command center or base station, which has poor flexibility

[0006] Thirdly, the support of network infrastructure is required, which requires the establishment of base stations and other infrastructure on the battlefield in advance, which makes the operation difficult

[0007] Finally, if the network infrastructure is attacked by the enemy, the entire UAV communication network will fail, with poor reliability and unable to adapt to the current complex and changeable battlefield environment

[0008] These defects weaken the combat capability of UAV swarms and limit the application of UAV swarms in modern battlefields. They are important problems to be solved in the actual combat of UAV swarms.
