Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of UAV swarm cooperative suppression and anti-interference control technology, and in particular to a method, system, electronic device and storage medium for UAV swarm cooperative suppression based on a distributed antenna array. Background Technology
[0002] In scenarios involving continuous suppression of low-altitude UAV swarms under strong wind disturbances, it is necessary to address the beam pointing inaccuracy caused by array physical deformation due to severe airflow. This scenario requires the UAV swarm to maintain directional suppression capability against moving ground targets under strong wind conditions. The core requirement is to achieve compensation for array deformation and multi-UAV beam coordination stabilization, avoiding the response lag of traditional pure algorithm correction.
[0003] The current mainstream approach employs distributed adaptive beamforming technology, which generates a beam weight vector through feedback signals from the receiver and dynamically adjusts the transmission phase of each UAV to maintain beam pointing. This approach utilizes signal angle of arrival estimation and space-time filtering algorithms to optimize beamforming directivity under total power constraints, attempting to compensate for array drift errors caused by wind disturbance.
[0004] However, this scheme has a fundamental flaw: it relies solely on electromagnetic signal feedback for software-level phase correction, failing to detect the physical structural deformation caused by airflow directly acting on the UAV's body. The dynamic deformation at the hardware level is not incorporated into the compensation loop, resulting in beam pointing correction lagging behind actual physical state changes. This leads to reduced suppression effectiveness in low-altitude scenarios with sudden strong winds, and the stability of multi-UAV cooperative operation deteriorates sharply with increasing disturbance intensity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, system, electronic device and storage medium for the coordinated suppression of UAV swarms based on a distributed antenna array, so as to solve the problem that the prior art relies on software layer phase correction and ignores the physical deformation of the array caused by airflow.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, in a first aspect, this application provides a method for cooperative suppression of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms based on a distributed antenna array, comprising: Based on the barometric pressure sensor array onboard the drone, pressure data of the downwash fluid from the drone rotor is collected and processed to obtain airflow pressure distribution information. Using the airflow pressure distribution information, the motion state of the downwash fluid of the UAV rotor is calculated and processed to generate vortex field information containing the disturbance region. Based on the eddy current field information, the phase of the UAV antenna array element is dynamically adjusted to compensate for the physical deformation of the array, and the physical deformation compensation result of the array is obtained. Using the physical deformation compensation results of the array, the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array is subjected to coordinated phase correction processing to obtain the beam phase compensation amount; Based on the beam phase compensation amount, the signals transmitted by the UAV swarm are coordinated and processed to generate an anti-disturbance suppression beam pointing towards the target.
[0007] Optionally, based on the eddy current field information, the phase of the UAV antenna array elements is dynamically adjusted to compensate for the array's physical deformation, resulting in an array physical deformation compensation result, including: Based on the eddy field information, the eddy core is located in the disturbed region of the eddy field. Using the location of the vortex core, the phase offset of the meta-spatial distribution of the distributed antenna array is calculated to generate the phase offset of the core region. Based on the phase offset of the core region, the phase relationship between the units of the distributed antenna array is processed to construct an offset mode, thereby obtaining a spatial phase offset mode. Using the spatial phase offset mode, the tunable phase element of the distributed antenna array is subjected to phase inversion compensation processing to obtain the dynamic adjustment result of the array element phase. Based on the dynamic phase adjustment results of the array elements, the physical deformation calibration process is performed on the state of the distributed antenna array after phase adjustment to generate array physical deformation compensation results.

Using the instantaneous vortex core position, the vortex trajectory of the vortex field within a continuous time window is spatially aggregated to generate a stable vortex spatial distribution pattern. Based on the stable vortex spatial distribution pattern, regions exceeding the vorticity threshold of the vortex field are subjected to strong disturbance marking processing to generate vortex field information containing the disturbance region.
[0009] Optionally, using the array physical deformation compensation results, a coordinated phase correction process is performed on the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array to obtain the beam phase compensation amount, including: Based on the physical deformation compensation results of the array, the geometric deviation of the distributed antenna array is calculated to obtain the array geometric deviation distribution. Using the array geometric deviation distribution, the phase deviation of the UAV antenna array elements is independently calculated and processed to generate the single-unit phase compensation amount; Based on the single-machine phase compensation amount, the multi-machine phase coordination relationship of the UAV antenna array element phase is corrected and a multi-machine coordination correction relationship is generated. Using the aforementioned multi-machine cooperative correction relationship, joint phase correction processing is performed on the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array to obtain cooperative phase dynamic correction results; Based on the collaborative phase dynamic correction results, the corrected beam phase is integrated with the compensation amount to generate the beam phase compensation amount.
[0010] Optionally, the spatial phase offset mode is used to perform phase inversion compensation processing on the tunable phase elements of the distributed antenna array to obtain the dynamic phase adjustment result of the array elements, including: Based on the aforementioned spatial phase offset mode, the offset direction of the UAV antenna array element phase is determined by compensation direction determination processing to generate a compensation direction vector. Using the compensation direction vector, the phase adjustment value of the tunable unit of the UAV antenna array is calculated by inverse vector value to generate the phase inverse adjustment amount; Based on the phase reversal adjustment amount, the resonant parameters of the tunable unit resonant characteristics of the UAV antenna array element phase are adjusted to obtain the dynamic update result of the resonant parameters. Using the dynamic update results of the resonance parameters, the phase consistency between the elements of the UAV antenna array is dynamically balanced to generate a phase balance state. Based on the phase balance state, the phase of the UAV antenna array elements after compensation is dynamically adjusted and confirmed to generate the dynamic adjustment result of the array element phase.
[0011] Optionally, the multi-machine cooperative correction relationship is used to perform joint phase correction processing on the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array to obtain a cooperative phase dynamic correction result, including: Based on the multi-machine cooperative correction relationship, the joint correction direction calculation is performed on the multi-machine beam pointing deviation of the distributed antenna array to generate the joint correction direction. Using the joint correction direction, the phase coordination adjustment requirement is dynamically allocated to generate the phase coordination adjustment amount; Based on the phase coordination adjustment amount, the tunable phase element of the distributed antenna array is subjected to phase response processing to generate phase response parameters; Using the phase response parameters, the phase of the unit cells of the distributed antenna array is synchronized to obtain the phase synchronization compensation result. Based on the phase synchronization compensation results, the multi-machine phase coordination state of the distributed antenna array is dynamically corrected and confirmed to generate a coordinated phase dynamic correction result.
[0012] Optionally, based on the phase offset of the core region, the phase relationship between the elements of the distributed antenna array is processed to construct an offset mode, resulting in a spatial phase offset mode, including: Based on the phase offset of the core region, the phase offset of the array region of the distributed antenna array is subjected to dominant offset identification processing to generate dominant phase offset. Using the dominant phase offset, the phase relationship between adjacent array elements of the distributed antenna array is calculated and processed to generate the phase transfer relationship between elements; Based on the phase transfer relationship between the units, the phase continuity of the partition boundary of the distributed antenna array is smoothed to generate a smooth phase distribution at the boundary. Using the boundary smooth phase distribution, the global element phase offset of the distributed antenna array is subjected to spatial mode integration processing to generate an initial spatial phase offset mode. Based on the initial spatial phase offset mode, anomaly correction processing is performed on the mode phase change region of the distributed antenna array to generate a spatial phase offset mode.
[0013] Secondly, this application provides a cooperative suppression system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms based on a distributed antenna array, comprising: The pressure acquisition module is used to collect and process the pressure of the downwash fluid from the UAV rotor based on the air pressure sensor array mounted on the UAV, and obtain airflow pressure distribution information. The eddy current calculation module is used to perform eddy current field calculation processing on the motion state of the downwash fluid of the UAV rotor using the airflow pressure distribution information, and generate eddy current field information containing the disturbance region. The phase compensation module is used to dynamically adjust the phase of the UAV antenna array elements based on the eddy current field information to compensate for the physical deformation of the array and obtain the array physical deformation compensation result. The beam correction module is used to perform coordinated phase correction processing on the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array using the array physical deformation compensation results, so as to obtain the beam phase compensation amount. The collaborative suppression module is used to perform collaborative modulation and processing on the signals transmitted by the UAV swarm based on the beam phase compensation amount, and generate an anti-disturbance suppression beam pointing towards the target.
[0014] Thirdly, this application provides an electronic device, comprising: Memory, used to store computer programs; A processor, configured to execute the computer program to implement the steps of the UAV swarm cooperative suppression method based on a distributed antenna array as described in the first aspect above.
[0015] Fourthly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, can implement the steps of the UAV swarm cooperative suppression method based on a distributed antenna array as described in the first aspect above.
[0016] The UAV swarm cooperative suppression method based on a distributed antenna array provided in this application acquires and processes the pressure of the UAV rotor downwash fluid using an array of air pressure sensors mounted on the UAV, obtaining airflow pressure distribution information. Using this airflow pressure distribution information, eddy current field calculations are performed on the motion state of the UAV rotor downwash fluid to generate eddy current field information including the disturbance region. Based on this eddy current field information, the phase of the UAV antenna array elements is dynamically adjusted to compensate for array physical deformation, obtaining array physical deformation compensation results. Using these results, the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array is cooperatively phase-corrected to obtain beam phase compensation. Based on this compensation, the transmitted signals of the UAV swarm are cooperatively modulated to generate an anti-disturbance suppression beam pointing towards the target.
[0017] The technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: By collecting the pressure distribution of the rotor downwash fluid, the physical characteristics of the airflow disturbance source are perceived; the pressure information is converted into eddy field characteristics to accurately locate the spatial distribution of the strong disturbance area; the antenna phase is dynamically adjusted based on the eddy characteristics to directly offset the array physical deformation caused by the airflow; the deformation compensation results are used to collaboratively correct the beam pointing of multiple aircraft to maintain the phase consistency of the distributed array; finally, an anti-disturbance directional suppression beam is generated to ensure continuous and stable interference to moving targets in strong wind environments.
[0018] Furthermore, the vortex core is located based on eddy current field information, and the phase offset is calculated by combining the array spatial distribution to construct the inter-element phase offset mode. Dynamic adjustment of the array element phase is achieved through tunable element anti-phase compensation, and finally, physical deformation compensation results are generated through calibration. This process transforms fluid disturbance characteristics into hardware-level phase compensation actions, eliminating array geometric distortion within a response period of hundreds of milliseconds, avoiding the lag of traditional signal feedback correction, and improving beam pointing stability.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a UAV swarm cooperative suppression system based on a distributed antenna array, provided as an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0021] Research has found that in coordinated suppression missions involving swarms of drones in strong winds, existing technologies rely on electromagnetic signal feedback to adjust antenna phase, but overlook a fundamental problem: severe airflow can directly distort the physical structure of the drone antenna, much like a strong wind bending the frame of a kite, causing it to lose control. This purely software-based correction is like adjusting the string tension by observing the kite's movement; it cannot perceive the actual degree of bending of the frame, resulting in beam pointing correction always being a step behind—when a strong wind strikes, the physical deformation of the antenna has already occurred, while software optimization is still trying to catch up with the already malfunctioning array state.
[0022] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a collaborative suppression method for UAV swarms based on a distributed antenna array. Specifically, a barometric pressure sensor captures the impact location of airflow beneath the rotor, converting the airflow data into a vortex distribution map to precisely pinpoint the core of the strong wind vortex causing antenna deformation. Next, an adjustable metamaterial layer covering the fuselage is driven to bend in reverse in real time, physically counteracting the torsional effect of the airflow on the antenna. Finally, multiple UAVs coordinate to calibrate the beam direction, ensuring the suppression signal continuously locks onto the target. This method, for the first time, incorporates physical airflow disturbances into a compensation closed loop, fundamentally curbing hardware deformation. This allows the UAV swarm to maintain beam pointing accuracy even in gale-force winds, improving response speed compared to traditional solutions and leaving moving targets nowhere to hide in severe weather.
[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] The core of this application is to provide a method for cooperative suppression of UAV swarms based on a distributed antenna array, and a flowchart of one specific implementation is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S101. Based on the barometric pressure sensor array mounted on the UAV, pressure data of the UAV rotor underwash fluid is collected and processed to obtain airflow pressure distribution information. In this step, the airflow pressure distribution information refers to the spatial distribution characteristics of the pressure values formed by the impact of airflow on the fluid surface below the UAV rotor. Pressure acquisition and processing refers to the process of continuously acquiring fluid surface pressure data through a barometric pressure sensor array and spatially integrating it.
[0025] In this embodiment, a high-sensitivity pressure sensor array is first deployed in a grid pattern directly below the rotor to capture pressure values at various points on the fluid surface. Then, the discrete pressure values collected by the sensor nodes are interpolated and reconstructed according to spatial topological relationships to generate a continuous two-dimensional pressure distribution map. Next, adaptive filtering technology is used to eliminate pressure fluctuation noise caused by rotor mechanical vibration and retain the pressure signal under pure airflow. Finally, stable and reliable airflow pressure distribution information is output for downstream analysis.
[0026] In a real-world case, during a mission in a coastal area with strong winds, a swarm of drones encountered a sudden lateral gust. The sensor array below the left front rotor detected an abnormally high pressure region of 3.5 Pascals. After spatial reconstruction, a left-leaning pressure distribution map was generated, clearly marking the high-pressure core area as the main impact location of the airflow.
[0027] S102. Using the airflow pressure distribution information, perform eddy current field calculation processing on the motion state of the downwash fluid of the UAV rotor to generate eddy current field information containing the disturbance region. In this step, eddy field information refers to the spatial distribution of rotating vortices formed by the shearing action of the rotor. Eddy flow field calculation and processing refers to the analysis process of converting pressure distribution data into fluid rotational motion characteristics.
[0028] In this embodiment, the pressure change rate between adjacent sensing units is first calculated based on the pressure distribution map to generate a pressure gradient vector field representing the airflow direction. Then, the gradient vector is converted into an instantaneous vortex intensity distribution using the fluid kinematics vortex calculation formula. Next, a vortex intensity threshold is set to automatically identify high vortex accumulation areas and accurately locate the three-dimensional coordinates of the vortex core. Finally, the vortex core motion trajectory within ten consecutive sampling periods is aggregated to output vortex field information containing the coordinates of the strong disturbance area.
[0029] In the aforementioned case, the gradient vector calculated for the high-pressure region of the left front rotor points to the right side of the fuselage. Vortex analysis shows that a clockwise vortex with an intensity of 15 arcseconds per second is formed at this location. Trajectory convergence confirms that the vortex core continues to move towards the direction of the third array element.
[0030] S103. Based on the eddy current field information, the phase of the UAV antenna array element is dynamically adjusted to compensate for the physical deformation of the array, and the physical deformation compensation result of the array is obtained. In this step, the array physical deformation compensation result refers to the calibration state after eliminating the distortion of the antenna structure caused by airflow; Dynamic adjustment processing refers to the operational procedure of driving tunable hardware to correct phase deviation.
[0031] In this embodiment, the vortex core position coordinates are first extracted based on the vortex field information, and the phase offset angle of each antenna array element is calculated. Then, a spatial transmission model of phase offset between array elements is established, and the phase correlation rule between adjacent elements is derived. Next, a reverse compensation voltage is applied to the tunable phase element, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate is changed through the piezoelectric effect to generate a reverse electromagnetic wave to cancel the deformation phase difference. Finally, the flatness of the compensated array is verified by a laser interferometer, and the physical deformation calibration state data is output.
[0032] Continuing with the above case, in response to the eddy current threat, it was calculated that the third array element needs to be compensated for 20 degrees of phase. After applying a 5-volt reverse voltage to the metamaterial reflective layer, laser detection confirmed that the flatness of the array surface was restored to the error range of hundreds of micrometers.
[0033] S104. Using the physical deformation compensation result of the array, perform coordinated phase correction processing on the beam pointing of the distributed antenna array to obtain the beam phase compensation amount. In this step, the beam phase compensation amount refers to the set of phase adjustment parameters required for the coordinated correction of the distributed antenna beam pointing; Coordinated phase correction processing refers to the control process of coordinating the phases of multiple machines to achieve beam spatial synchronization.
[0034] In this embodiment, the residual position deviation of each array element is first analyzed based on the deformation compensation results to establish a geometric deformation distribution map; then, the single-unit phase compensation amount of each UAV is independently calculated according to the beamforming principle; next, the compensation amount data of each UAV is exchanged through a wireless ad hoc network to construct a multi-UAV phase collaborative constraint relationship matrix; finally, a distributed consensus algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the transmission phase of all UAVs to achieve dynamic convergence of the beam main lobe pointing error.
[0035] Continuing with the above case, the phase compensation amount of the third UAV was broadcast to the cluster via a wireless link. The main control unit coordinated the other four UAVs to adjust their transmission phases synchronously. The ground monitoring station confirmed that the beam pointing angle deviation of the five UAVs was reduced to within 0.5 degrees.
[0036] S105. Based on the beam phase compensation amount, the transmitted signals of the UAV swarm are coordinated and processed to generate an anti-disturbance suppression beam pointing towards the target.
[0037] In this step, the anti-disturbance suppression beam refers to the directional high-energy electromagnetic beam generated after resisting airflow interference; Coordinated control processing refers to the operational process of integrating signals from multiple machines to generate a spatial focusing beam.
[0038] In this embodiment, the beam phase compensation is first decomposed into the carrier frequency, initial phase angle and amplitude parameters of each UAV; then, the signal transmission time reference of the multiple UAVs is aligned through the Beidou timing module; next, the power amplifier is controlled to adjust the output power of the radio frequency signal according to the compensation parameters; finally, the principle of electromagnetic wave spatial interference is used to make the multiple signals coherently superimpose at the target position to form a high-intensity directional beam.
[0039] Continuing with the above case, five drones simultaneously transmitted 800 MHz radio frequency signals according to the compensation parameters. The target vehicle's receiver detected a 15 dB drop in the signal-to-interference ratio, and the command platform confirmed that the suppression beam continued to cover the moving target.
[0040] In summary, S101 to S105 capture the rotor airflow pressure distribution through a barometric pressure sensor array, accurately calculating the fluid vortex disturbance characteristics; based on the vortex position, the metamaterial reflective layer dynamically adjusts the antenna phase, physically offsetting array deformation; subsequently, a distributed collaborative algorithm corrects the beam pointing of multiple drones, ultimately generating a directional suppression beam resistant to strong wind interference. This forms a complete closed-loop solution of "fluid disturbance perception, hardware compensation, and swarm collaborative control," completely overcoming the hysteresis defects of traditional technologies that rely on electromagnetic feedback, and providing reliable technical support for continuous suppression missions of UAV swarms in harsh weather conditions.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S103 may specifically include the following steps: To address the beam misalignment issue caused by the physical deformation of the UAV array under strong wind disturbance, in some embodiments, as described in S103, the phase of the UAV antenna array elements is dynamically adjusted based on the eddy current field information to compensate for the array physical deformation, resulting in array physical deformation compensation results, including: S201. Based on the eddy field information, perform eddy core localization processing on the disturbance region of the eddy field to obtain the eddy core position. In S201, the vortex core position refers to the spatial coordinates of the center point of the fluid rotation. Vortex core localization processing refers to the operation of identifying the peak region of vorticity intensity and determining its geometric center.
[0042] In this embodiment, the three-dimensional vortex distribution data in the vortex field information is first analyzed to extract the vortex intensity value of each spatial unit; then, the gradient change trend of the vortex field is scanned along three orthogonal directions to mark the gradient vector convergence region; next, adjacent convergence regions are merged into candidate vortex core regions through a spatial clustering algorithm; finally, the geometric centroid coordinates of the candidate region are calculated to output the position of the dominant vortex core.
[0043] S202. Using the location of the vortex core, perform phase offset calculation on the meta-spatial distribution of the distributed antenna array to generate the core region phase offset. In S202, the core region phase offset refers to the set of phase angles that need to be compensated for by the antenna array element corresponding to the vortex core. Phase offset calculation refers to the operation of establishing the mapping relationship between fluid disturbance and electromagnetic wave phase deviation.
[0044] In this embodiment, a three-dimensional spatial projection model of the vortex core position and the antenna array elements is first constructed, and the Euclidean distance from each array element to the vortex core is calculated. Then, based on the proportional relationship between the hydrodynamic pressure gradient and the electromagnetic path difference, the signal propagation delay difference caused by the distance change is derived. Next, the delay difference is converted into a phase lag angle according to the carrier frequency. Finally, a phase offset distribution radiating outward from the vortex core is generated.
[0045] S203. Based on the phase offset of the core region, the phase relationship between the units of the distributed antenna array is processed to construct an offset mode, thereby obtaining a spatial phase offset mode. In S203, spatial phase offset mode refers to the set of spatial transfer rules for phase compensation between array elements; Offset mode construction processing refers to the operation of establishing a phase adjustment amount associated topology network.
[0046] In this embodiment, the spatial correlation coefficient of the phase offset of adjacent array elements is first analyzed to identify highly correlated unit groups; then, a phase deviation transmission path model is established based on the array geometry, and path weight coefficients are defined; next, the minimum energy transfer equation under path constraints is solved; finally, a global unit phase coordination adjustment rule matrix is generated.
[0047] S204. Using the spatial phase offset mode, the tunable phase element of the distributed antenna array is subjected to phase inversion compensation processing to obtain the dynamic adjustment result of the array element phase. In S204, the result of the array element phase dynamic adjustment refers to the phase state of the antenna element after hardware compensation; Phase-inverse compensation refers to the operation of driving a tunable material to generate an inverse wavefront.
[0048] In this embodiment, the phase adjustment rule is first converted into a piezoelectric control voltage signal; then a reverse bias voltage is applied to the ferroelectric dielectric layer of the tunable unit; next, the dielectric lattice structure is changed by the inverse piezoelectric effect to regulate the spatial distribution of the dielectric constant; finally, a compensation electromagnetic wave with the opposite phase to the deformation wavefront is formed on the surface of the dielectric substrate.
[0049] S205. Based on the phase dynamic adjustment results of the array elements, perform physical deformation calibration on the state of the distributed antenna array after phase adjustment to generate array physical deformation compensation results.
[0050] In S205, physical deformation calibration refers to the operation of verifying the accuracy of array geometry restoration.
[0051] In this embodiment, a millimeter-wave reference test signal is first transmitted to illuminate the array surface; then, an interference fringe image formed by the array reflection is received; next, the spatial distribution characteristics of the fringe distortion region are analyzed; finally, the deformation elimination verification conclusion and residual error distribution map are output.
[0052] Here is a specific example: In a real-world mission in a strong wind environment in the Gobi Desert, a swarm of drones encountered persistent lateral wind shear. First, eddy field analysis identified a high-intensity rotating vortex in the right rear rotor region, precisely locating the vortex core at a specific height above the fourth array element. Next, calculations showed that this vortex caused significant phase lag in the fourth array element, with adjacent elements exhibiting gradient attenuation and associated offsets. A phase transfer model was then established to confirm that the offset propagated along a specific path within the array. Subsequently, a reverse voltage was applied to the metamaterial layer to generate a compensating wavefront to cancel out the deformation. Finally, after firing a test beam, interferometric images showed that the reflected wavefront on the array surface had returned to a uniform distribution, and a laser rangefinder confirmed that the flatness error was below the operating threshold.
[0053] In summary, S201 to S205 capture the core location of airflow vortices, transforming hydrodynamic characteristics into electromagnetic phase compensation parameters; constructing phase coordination rules between units based on array spatial topology; driving a tunable medium to generate a reverse wavefront to cancel physical deformation; and finally verifying the recovery of the output geometric structure through interferometry. This forms a closed-loop control chain from environmental disturbance perception to hardware compensation verification, overcoming the hysteresis limitations of traditional technologies that rely on electromagnetic feedback, and providing key technical support for the continuous operation of UAV swarms under adverse weather conditions.
[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S102 may specifically include the following steps: To accurately capture the source of airflow disturbances to drive subsequent hardware compensation, in some embodiments, as described in S102, the motion state of the downwash fluid from the UAV rotor is calculated using the airflow pressure distribution information to generate vortex field information containing the disturbance region, including: S301. Based on the airflow pressure distribution information, perform pressure gradient calculation on the surface of the underwash fluid of the UAV rotor to obtain a pressure gradient vector; In S301, the pressure gradient vector refers to the characteristic vector of the direction and magnitude of pressure change between adjacent sensing units on the fluid surface; Pressure gradient calculation refers to the process of establishing a vectorized representation of pressure spatial differences.
[0055] In this embodiment, the raw pressure values collected by discretely distributed sensor nodes are first loaded into a three-dimensional spatial gridded model, and a pressure distribution surface is constructed based on the latitude and longitude coordinates of the nodes. Then, the first-order partial derivative values of the surface grid in the east-west and north-south directions are calculated point by point using the central difference method to obtain the pressure change rate components. Next, the two-way change rate components are synthesized into a two-dimensional gradient vector to determine the pressure change direction and intensity at each location. Finally, an adaptive sliding window filter is used to eliminate the high-frequency fluctuation components caused by rotor mechanical vibration, retain the steady-state gradient characteristics dominated by airflow, and output a spatially continuous pressure gradient vector field.
[0056] S302. Using the pressure gradient vector, perform vorticity calculation on the fluid motion rotation intensity of the UAV rotor underwash fluid to generate an instantaneous vorticity distribution. In S302, instantaneous vorticity distribution refers to the spatial field distribution characteristics of the rotational angular velocity of fluid micro-particles; Eddy calculation refers to the process of converting pressure gradients into rotational mechanical parameters through fluid dynamics equations.
[0057] In this embodiment, firstly, a Navier-Stokes dynamic correlation model of the pressure gradient vector and the fluid velocity field is established, and the differential transformation relationship between the gradient field and the rotational motion is defined; secondly, the curl component of the velocity field is solved in the three-dimensional spatial domain, and the pressure gradient integral is converted into the rotational angular velocity value through Green's formula; then, the Laplace smoothing algorithm is used to correct the spatial continuity of the discrete curl value to eliminate abrupt changes caused by computational noise; finally, the angular velocity value is mapped to the spatial grid nodes to generate a global instantaneous vorticity intensity distribution map.
[0058] S303. Based on the instantaneous vorticity distribution, instantaneous vortex identification processing is performed on the high vorticity concentration region of the vortex field to obtain the instantaneous vortex core position. In S303, the instantaneous vortex core position refers to the spatial coordinates of the center point of the rotating vortex; Instantaneous vortex identification processing refers to the operation of locating the geometric center of the local vortex extremum region.
[0059] In this embodiment, an adaptive dual-threshold segmentation algorithm is first used to extract significant high vorticity regions based on the global statistical features of the vorticity field. Secondly, spatially adjacent high vorticity units are connected by morphological closure operations to fill local voids and form continuous regions. Then, the vorticity intensity weighted centroid coordinates of each connected region are calculated, and spatial weighted averages are performed using the vorticity value as a weighting factor. Finally, the three-dimensional position coordinates of the vortex core are determined by combining height sensor data, and the spatial positioning result of the dominant vortex core is output.
[0060] S304. Using the instantaneous vortex core position, the vortex trajectory of the vortex field within a continuous time window is spatially aggregated to generate a stable vortex spatial distribution pattern. In S304, the stable vortex spatial distribution pattern refers to the set of vortex motion laws after eliminating random disturbances; Spatial aggregation processing refers to the operation of integrating temporal trajectories to form spatial probabilistic features.
[0061] In this embodiment, the movement path of the vortex core is first tracked within a continuous time series, and the three-dimensional coordinate data at each sampling time are recorded. Secondly, the Kalman filter algorithm is used to eliminate trajectory jitter caused by measurement noise and predict the actual motion trajectory. Then, a vortex core movement trend model is established through polynomial curve fitting, and the predicted position value at future time is calculated. Finally, a probability density map of vortex spatial distribution based on Gaussian mixture model is constructed to characterize the stable motion law.
[0062] S305. Based on the stable vortex spatial distribution pattern, perform strong disturbance marking processing on the region exceeding the vorticity threshold of the vortex field to generate vortex field information containing the disturbance region.
[0063] In S305, strong disturbance marking refers to the operation of identifying high-risk vortex areas according to the threat level.
[0064] In this embodiment, firstly, a vortex safety threshold model trained on a historical flight database is loaded, which integrates wind speed, altitude, and airframe configuration parameters; secondly, the spatial probability density and vortex intensity in the stable distribution pattern are weighted and fused to generate a comprehensive threat coefficient matrix; then, spatial grid cells with threat coefficients exceeding the dynamic threshold are marked as high-risk disturbance zones; finally, the boundary coordinates, core location, and threat level of the high-risk zones are encapsulated into a structured vortex field information data packet.
[0065] Here is a specific example: In a live-fire mission in a coastal gust environment, a swarm of drones encountered intermittent alternating sea and land winds. First, a banded high-pressure zone was detected by the barometric pressure sensor array beneath the left rotor. Gradient calculations revealed a continuous pressure abrupt change zone along the fuselage, with gradient vectors indicating airflow converging towards the tail. Vorticity calculations revealed a clockwise vortex of 15 arcseconds per second in this region, with the vortex core identified as stably located three meters above and to the side of array element number two. Over ten consecutive sampling periods, the vortex core was observed moving towards the tail along a parabolic trajectory.

[0078] Here is a specific example: During a cross-sea combat mission in a strong wind environment, a swarm of five UAVs encountered non-uniform airflow. First, analysis of deformation compensation data revealed that the first UAV's array element exhibited an upward tilt displacement, with the displacement vector pointing upwards; the second UAV's belly array element experienced a downward tilt displacement; and UAVs three through five exhibited gradient tilt deformation. A displacement field model was constructed using a thin-plate spline algorithm, revealing that the deformation propagated in a wavy pattern along the wingspan. In the independent compensation phase, based on the 24 GHz carrier characteristics, the 3 mm downward displacement of the second UAV was converted into a 12-degree phase lag. During collaborative construction, data from all five UAVs was exchanged via a wireless network, and spatial correlation analysis revealed that the phase coupling coefficient between UAVs three and four reached 0.9. In the joint calibration phase, the BeiDou system was used to achieve synchronization of the five UAVs within 300 microseconds, driving the liquid crystal unit to adjust the birefringence to generate a compensation wavefront. Finally, near-field scanning showed a residual of less than 3 degrees, and far-field testing confirmed that the main lobe focusing performance met the standards.

This forms a technical closed loop of "deformation feature extraction, electromagnetic parameter conversion, cluster collaborative optimization, and joint execution verification," fundamentally solving the beam instability problem of distributed arrays under strong wind conditions and achieving continuous and accurate coverage of the suppression beam under adverse weather conditions.
[0080] To achieve precise hardware compensation for phase shifts caused by airflow disturbances, in some embodiments, according to S204, the tunable phase elements of the distributed antenna array are subjected to phase inversion compensation processing using the spatial phase shift mode to obtain dynamic phase adjustment results for the array elements, including: S501. Based on the spatial phase offset mode, the offset direction of the UAV antenna array element phase is determined by compensation direction determination, and a compensation direction vector is generated. In S501, the compensation direction vector refers to the dominant change trend vector feature of the phase deviation extracted from the spatial phase offset mode in three-dimensional space.

Next, the eigenvector is decomposed into azimuth and pitch components. Then, the direction cosine component is calculated using the conversion formula from spherical coordinates to rectangular coordinates. Finally, the direction cosine is processed into a unit vector to generate a standardized compensation direction vector, which accurately represents the main direction of the phase offset to be compensated.
[0082] S502. Using the compensation direction vector, perform inverse vector value calculation on the phase adjustment value of the tunable unit of the UAV antenna array element phase to generate the phase inverse adjustment amount; In S502, the phase reversal adjustment amount refers to the set of compensation control parameters that need to be applied to offset the original phase offset; Inverse vector value calculation refers to the operation of deriving inverse control parameters based on the compensation direction.
[0083] In this embodiment, firstly, a projection transformation model between the compensation direction vector and the local coordinate system of each array element is established, and the projection components of the vector on the array element normal plane are calculated; secondly, the pre-stored phase and voltage response characteristic curves are queried to obtain the basic compensation coefficients corresponding to the projection components; then, the optimal compensation step size is calculated by combining the transient response characteristics of the tunable unit with historical compensation records through a dynamic programming algorithm; finally, the basic coefficients and the compensation step size are combined to generate a reverse adjustment parameter package containing voltage amplitude, duration of action, and slope of change.
[0084] S503. Based on the phase reversal adjustment amount, the resonant parameters of the tunable unit of the UAV antenna array are adjusted to obtain the dynamic update result of the resonant parameters. In S503, the dynamic update result of the resonant parameters refers to the electromagnetic response state after the dielectric properties of the tunable unit change.

[0091] Here is a specific example: In a field test mission in a strong wind environment in the Gobi Desert, a swarm of drones encountered a sudden lateral wind shear. First, analysis of the spatial phase shift pattern revealed that the maximum shift direction was 30 degrees from the nose-up angle. Principal component analysis was used to extract a standardized compensation direction vector. During the inverse vector value calculation stage, this vector was projected onto the local coordinate system of the third array element. Combined with historical compensation data, an adjustment parameter package requiring the application of a negative gradient voltage was generated. During resonance parameter adjustment, a 12-volt initial voltage was applied to the liquid crystal unit electrodes, decreasing at a rate of 0.5 volts per millisecond. The resonant frequency was detected to have shifted 300 MHz to a lower frequency. During the dynamic balancing stage, a phase difference was detected between the fourth adjacent element. The voltage was fine-tuned using a PID controller to bring the phase difference to zero. Finally, a 2-32 Hz sweep signal was transmitted. The phase distribution diagram showed that the array consistency had improved to the standard level, and the system generated an adjustment compliance certification.
[0092] In summary, S501 to S505 accurately capture the dominant phase shift direction through spatial pattern analysis to generate a compensation vector, and calculate the optimal reverse control parameters based on projection transformation and dynamic programming. Dielectric properties are reconstructed by controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules through an electric field. Closed-loop feedback and phase-locked loop technology are used to maintain phase coordination between units. Finally, the compensation effect is verified through frequency sweep testing and phase distribution analysis. This forms a complete technical closed loop of "direction recognition, parameter calculation, hardware reconstruction, coordinated balancing, and effect verification," breaking through the limitations of traditional phase correction in response speed and accuracy, and achieving high-precision phase self-compensation capability at the millisecond level in complex airflow environments.

Then, the liquid crystal molecules are driven to rotate directionally by the electric field force, changing their birefringence spatial distribution. Finally, a vector network analyzer is used to collect the scattering parameter matrix, analyze the resonant frequency offset, bandwidth variation, and quality factor fluctuation characteristics, and generate an electromagnetic response status report.

[0104] Here is a specific example: In a cross-sea strong wind combat mission, a swarm of four UAVs continuously suppressed moving targets. First, a joint correction direction of 62 degrees azimuth and 8 degrees elevation was obtained from the collaborative correction relation library. During the dynamic allocation phase, UAV No. 3 was assigned the maximum adjustment weight based on its position in the main wind direction. During phase response processing, an 18-volt peak voltage was applied to the LCD unit of UAV No. 3, and the resonant frequency was detected to shift to a higher frequency of 450 MHz. During the synchronization compensation phase, a consensus algorithm coordinated the four UAVs to complete phase matching within 500 microseconds, locking the signal display units to a maximum phase difference of less than three degrees. Finally, the reconstructed radiation pattern using a step-frequency scan showed a main lobe pointing accuracy of 0.2 degrees and side lobe suppression better than 25 dB, resulting in a collaborative correction compliance certification.

Secondly, a phase offset transfer differential equation is established based on the similarity principle of elastic wave propagation, and the transfer coefficient of offset decay with distance is defined. Then, the dominant phase offset is used as a boundary condition to input the transfer equation for finite element discretization solution. Finally, the phase coupling strength matrix and the set of transfer direction vectors between adjacent elements are obtained.

[0117] Here is a specific example: In a field measurement mission under strong winds on a coast, a UAV array detected a significant phase shift in the region of element 3. First, density clustering identified element 3 as the dominant shift source, with its variance contribution exceeding a threshold. Second, a transfer model was established based on the array topology, revealing that element 5 required additional compensation. Next, a phase jump was detected at the boundary between elements 2 and 4, and a transition surface was constructed using bicubic spline interpolation to achieve a smooth connection. Then, a global continuous phase field was generated using variational principles. Finally, a gradient abrupt change was found in element 7; after anisotropic diffusion to eliminate distortion, a spatial phase shift pattern meeting the compensation requirements of the liquid crystal tuning unit was output.
[0118] In summary, S701 to 705 accurately locate key disturbance nodes through the dominant offset source and establish a phase spatial diffusion model based on physical transfer laws; they employ high-order continuous surface technology to achieve seamless transition of partition boundaries; they construct a global unified phase field based on variational principles; and finally, they ensure the physical realizability of the model through adaptive smoothing and topology optimization. This forms a complete technology chain of "core positioning, spatial transfer, boundary fusion, global integration, and anomaly optimization," breaking through the local limitations of traditional phase modeling and providing a high-precision spatial phase reference for hardware-level compensation.
