Unmanned aerial vehicle group air recovery system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle group air recovery system and method. The system comprises a controller, an air mother machine, a recovery net folding and unfolding subsystem, a recovery net subsystem, a recovery net unfolding subsystem and a recovery guiding subsystem. The method comprises the steps that the controller sends a recovery signal; acquiring a recovery flight route of the aerial mother aircraft; sending a control instruction for releasing the recovery network subsystem; and sending a control instruction for recovering the recovery network subsystem. Through the design of the structure of the recovery net subsystem, the recovery net subsystem is released by the recovery net retracting and releasing subsystem on the aerial mother aircraft platform, the recovery net is opened by air flow, and the visual sensor transmits images of the unmanned aerial vehicle and a net port to the controller in real time; the controller controls the flight position of the aerial mother aircraft according to the images and the flight parameters of the unmanned aerial vehicles, and all the unmanned aerial vehicles are copied into the net bag; the system is simple in structural composition, safe and controllable in recycling process and high in recycling efficiency, and the aim of improving the recycling efficiency and reliability of the unmanned aerial vehicle is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle recovery, in particular to a system and method for aerial recovery of unmanned aerial vehicle swarms. Background technique [0002] With the development of UAVs in the direction of miniaturization and clustering, the release of a large number of UAVs in the first time of combat use and the rapid networking and establishment of clusters in the air are the key to UAV swarm operations. The success of the launch directly affects the follow-up flight and the implementation of the mission, and even concerns the safety of the UAV itself. When there is no reliable land-based or sea-based landing point, air-based recovery will be the simplest logistical support solution for cluster UAV operations. It can not only improve the quality of information obtained by the cluster, but also can be reused to reduce combat costs. At the same time, since there is no need to install a landing recovery device on t...
