System and method of electromagnetic launching of unmanned aerial vehicle by stratospheric airship based on near space

Abstract

The invention provides a system and method of electromagnetic launching of an unmanned aerial vehicle by a stratospheric airship based on the near space. The system comprises a control center and the stratospheric airship which are in communication connection. An electromagnetic launching device is arranged on the stratospheric airship. The method comprises the steps that state confirmation information is transmitted to the control center by the stratospheric airship flying or suspending in the near space; task planning information is retrieved by the control enter according to the state confirmation information, according to the task planning information, a launching instruction is generated, and the launching instruction is transmitted to the stratospheric airship; and according to the received launching instruction, the electromagnetic launching device is controlled by the stratospheric airship to launch the unmanned aerial vehicle to the exterior of the stratospheric airship according to the preset direction and speed to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly towards a preset target area according to a task planned route. According to the system and method of electromagnetic launching of the unmanned aerial vehicle by the stratospheric airship based on the near space, reliability and applicability are high, quick and efficient launching of the unmanned aerial vehicle are conveniently and accurately achieved, energy source useless consumption of the unmanned aerial vehicle before task executing is avoided, and therefore reliability and integrality of the unmanned aerial vehicle for task executing are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a system and method for electromagnetically launching an unmanned aerial vehicle based on a near-space stratospheric airship. Background technique [0002] UAVs are becoming more and more indispensable equipment in modern high-tech life, and are widely used in military, industrial and agricultural, civil and other fields. The application field plays an important role; and in the application of UAVs in some fields, the launch stage is often considered to be one of the most difficult stages. Countries have made a lot of research and attempts on the take-off and launch of UAVs. [0003] At present, the launch of UAVs is generally carried out by self-starting flight or ground catapult takeoff, but this method has extremely high requirements for the endurance and flight speed of UAVs, and both require UAVs Consuming its own energy and power to climb to the required f...

[0003] At present, the launch of UAVs is generally carried out by self-starting flight or ground catapult takeoff, but this method has extremely high requirements for the endurance and flight speed of UAVs, and both require UAVs Consume its own energy and power to climb to the required flight altitude. In some application scenarios with high endurance requirements, the current launch method cannot guarantee the successful completion of the UAV mission.
