Gliding type small cluster unmanned aerial vehicle launching system

Abstract

A gliding type small cluster unmanned aerial vehicle launching device is composed of a gliding pod, a folding main wing, a folding tail wing, a locking and releasing mechanism, a control subsystem andsmall unmanned aerial vehicles. And the gliding pod is connected to a wing of the aerial carrier through a wing hanger. A main airfoil and a tail airfoil are installed in the middle and at the tail of the gliding pod of the small unmanned aerial vehicle in a folded mode respectively. The small locking and releasing mechanism of the unmanned aerial vehicle is of an electromagnetic latch hook structure and is located in the belly of the gliding pod. When the small unmanned aerial vehicle is loaded, the electromagnetic lock hook locks the front hanging lug and the rear hanging lug of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and locking of the unmanned aerial vehicle is achieved. And the airborne battery and flight control subsystem is positioned at the front part of the gliding pod of the small unmannedaerial vehicle. The airborne battery supplies power to the unlocking release mechanism and the flight control subsystem; the explosive bolt for fastening the belly cabin door of the gliding pod is opened, and the small unmanned aerial vehicle locking and releasing mechanism sequentially unlocks and releases the small unmanned aerial vehicle. And flight control of the gliding nacelle and throwingof the small unmanned aerial vehicle are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a rapid delivery system for small cluster unmanned aerial vehicles using an external gliding pod. Background technique [0002] UAV "swarm" tactics integrate UAV technology advantages and system group advantages at the same time, while maintaining its own combat capabilities, it suppresses the enemy. Swarm UAVs are composed of multiple small UAVs, which can form a numerical advantage over the enemy in a local combat area. Especially in a high-denial combat environment, the loss of a single small UAV does not affect the combat performance of the entire cluster. Therefore, countries all over the world have launched research on small UAV swarm technology. The launch methods of small swarm UAVs mainly include ground box launch, medium and large aircraft loading launch in the air, and artillery launch. The ground box launch method is limited by the range and flight...

Problems solved by technology

However, this launch method still requires the carrier aircraft, that is, manned aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles to fly over the enemy area, and the carrier aircraft will inevitably be threatened by enemy air or ground firepower during the delivery process.

This launch method is not suitable for the launch of small swarm drones in a strong denial environment
