Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of supervision and command of manned aircraft + unmanned aircraft in airspace, and relates to a system for supervision and command of manned aircraft + unmanned aircraft in airspace. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the normal flight of the aircraft during navigation and monitor the location and situation of the aircraft at the same time, it is necessary to conduct long-term monitoring and receive information transmitted by the aircraft at the same time. In this process, it is necessary to use the aviation wireless communication device on the aircraft side to transmit data from the aircraft to the ground control system. When the flight line is not in good condition, the data transmission rate is low, and it is ultimately difficult to effectively deliver data and avoid blocking. At the same time, with the birth of drones, drones are used in various fields. In some military fields, by combining aircraft with flying manned aircraft, multi-regional and multi-functional use requirements are met. Existing drones and manned aircraft only communicate data with the ground command center through their own data transmission terminals. When there is severe weather, poor environment, and signal interference, data transmission is greatly affected. The affected data transmission makes it difficult to obtain the latest information in a timely manner, which in turn affects subsequent judgments and use requirements, and ultimately makes it difficult to meet use requirements. Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present application is provided. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a system for monitoring and commanding manned aircraft + unmanned aircraft in airspace, solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A system for monitoring and commanding manned and unmanned aircraft in the airspace, including an air-to-ground two-way data transmission module, an airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module, a ground receiving device, and a software control subsystem;

[0006] Air-to-ground two-way data transmission module: receives information from manned aircraft or unmanned aircraft and transmits it to a ground receiving device, receives information from a ground receiving device and transmits it to a manned aircraft or unmanned aircraft;

[0007] Airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module: receives information from the ground receiving device and transmits the information to the ground receiving device;

[0008] Ground receiving device: directly receives information transmitted by manned aircraft or unmanned aircraft and transmits the information to the software control subsystem, receives information transmitted by the air-to-ground two-way data transmission module and the airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module and transmits the information to the software control subsystem, receives information from the software control subsystem and transmits the information to manned aircraft, unmanned aircraft, air-to-ground two-way data transmission module, and airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module;

[0009] Software control subsystem: receives information transmitted by the ground receiving device and transmits the information to the ground receiving device.

[0010] The working principle of the present invention is: by arranging a plurality of air-to-ground two-way data transmission modules within the operating range of manned aircraft + unmanned aircraft, the plurality of air-to-ground two-way data transmission modules completely cover the operating range of manned aircraft + unmanned aircraft. When severe weather, poor environment, and signal interference occur, a local area network is formed in the installed area through the ground two-way data transmission modules, which is used to transmit information in real time within the local area network, construct a real-time and healthy network, and avoid the problem that it is difficult to exchange data with the ground command center only through the data transmission terminals configured by the manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft themselves.

[0011] By combining high-altitude operations performed by manned aircraft with low-altitude operations performed by unmanned aircraft, the interference caused by poor communications can be reduced by the high altitude of manned aircraft. By installing an airborne ADS-B + two-way data transmission integrated module on the unmanned aircraft, the ADS-B signal transmission function can be realized through the airborne ADS-B module, and the two-way data transmission module can form a real-time local area network, realizing the function of real-time signal transmission and reception, meeting the needs of unmanned aircraft or aircraft operations in special geographical environments, and avoiding the problem of loss of collected information due to geographical and signal factors.

[0012] The ground two-way data transmission WeChat module transmits information and interacts with the air-to-ground two-way data transmission module and the airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module. The signal is transmitted to the software system through the ground receiving device. The manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft are monitored through the software control system to realize the function of information interaction with manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft, which makes it easier for the ground command to supervise the manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft in the airspace and command the manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft under necessary conditions.

[0013] Furthermore: the air-to-ground bidirectional data transmission module is a micro module and has a portable function. The air-to-ground bidirectional data transmission module is installed according to the required location and has no complicated installation requirements. The air-to-ground bidirectional data transmission module is digital transmission, has stable information transmission and is less affected by external interference.

[0014] Furthermore: the air-to-ground bidirectional data transmission module is installed in different areas to form signal points and information is exchanged between the signal points, avoiding the two-way transmission of signals being affected by the reduction of other network signals. The air-to-ground bidirectional data transmission module forms a local area network in the installed area. When the communication is poor, it is used to transmit information in real time within the local area network to construct a real-time and healthy network.

[0015] Furthermore: the airborne ADS-B + two-way data transmission integrated module is installed on the drone. When the drone or aircraft operates in a special geographical environment, the collected information is lost due to geographical and signal factors. The ADS-B signal transmission function can be realized through the airborne ADS-B module, and the two-way data transmission module can form a real-time local area network to realize the function of real-time signal transmission and reception.

[0016] Furthermore: the airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module is small in size, light in weight and has no special requirements for installation.

[0017] Furthermore: the ground receiving device includes a ground two-way data transmission WeChat module, which transmits information and interacts with the air-to-ground two-way data transmission module and the airborne ADS-B+ two-way data transmission integrated module. The signal is transmitted to the software system through the ground receiving device, and the manned aircraft and the unmanned aircraft are monitored through the software control system to realize the function of information interaction with manned aircraft and unmanned aircraft.

[0018] Furthermore: the software control subsystem performs human-machine interaction, and the operator monitors the UAV and manned aircraft through the software control subsystem and conducts commands under necessary conditions.

[0019] Furthermore: the software control subsystem can expand functions, including adding climate monitoring and environmental monitoring.

[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. A system for monitoring and commanding manned and unmanned aircraft in the airspace. By arranging several air-to-ground two-way data transmission modules in the area where manned and unmanned aircraft operate, the modules completely cover the range of manned and unmanned aircraft operations. When there is bad weather, poor environment, or signal interference, a local area network is formed in the area where the modules are installed. The modules are used to transmit information in real time within the local area network, thus constructing a real-time and healthy network, thus avoiding the problem that it is difficult to interact with the ground command center through the data transmission terminals configured by manned and unmanned aircraft themselves.

[0022] 2. In the present invention, high-altitude operations are performed by manned aircraft and low-altitude operations are performed by unmanned aircraft. The interference caused by poor communication is reduced by the high altitude of the manned aircraft. An airborne ADS-B + two-way data transmission integrated module is installed on the unmanned aircraft. The ADS-B signal transmission function can be realized through the airborne ADS-B module, and the two-way data transmission module can form a real-time local area network to realize the function of real-time signal transmission and reception, which meets the needs of unmanned aircraft or aircraft operations in special geographical environments and avoids the problem of loss of collected information due to geographical and signal factors.
