[0038] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] The present application provides a formation coordination method based on manned aircraft pointing electromagnetic drones, comprising the following steps:

[0040] A manned aircraft takes off with multiple electromagnetic drones mounted on it. After reaching the designated airspace, each electromagnetic drone is launched in turn, and a manned / unmanned collaborative formation is formed through manned aircraft and electromagnetic drones.

[0041] Active electromagnetic induction and collaborative passive positioning through electromagnetic drones in manned / unmanned collaborative formations;

[0042] Consume the target's equipment through electromagnetic drones within a manned / unmanned collaborative formation;

[0043] Electromagnetic drones within the manned / unmanned collaborative formation are used to cover manned aircraft in the performance of their missions.

[0044] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft commanding electromagnetic drones of the present application first constructs a manned / unmanned coordinated formation. A manned aircraft mounts multiple electromagnetic drones and takes off. After arriving at the designated airspace, each electromagnetic drone is launched in sequence. In this embodiment, a manned aircraft commands four small low-cost electromagnetic drones to form a manned / unmanned coordinated formation. The four electromagnetic drones complete wireless communication networking with the manned aircraft. According to the real-time planned flight route, the four electromagnetic drones are formed into a diamond formation and deployed 50km in front of the manned aircraft. The distance between two adjacent electromagnetic drones is 30km. While maintaining wireless communication, long baseline passive radio frequency detection is achieved. The manned aircraft and the four electromagnetic drones maintain a flight altitude of 8km and advance side by side.

[0045] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft accusing electromagnetic drones of the present application, secondly, performs active electromagnetic induction and coordinated passive positioning. The process of active electromagnetic induction and coordinated passive positioning by electromagnetic drones in a manned / unmanned coordinated formation includes: the frontmost electromagnetic drone in the manned / unmanned coordinated formation simulates the radiation signal and behavior pattern of the manned aircraft fire control radar, scans the airspace range where the target is located, triggers the target ESM system alarm, and actively electromagnetically induces the target; other electromagnetic drones in the manned / unmanned coordinated formation maintain passive detection mode, and when the target turns on the radar, the target is coordinated passively positioned, and the electromagnetic drone autonomously plans the flight route to maintain stable tracking of the target.

[0046] The present application is based on the formation coordination method of manned aircraft accusing electromagnetic drones, and then consumes the target's equipment. The process of consuming the target's equipment through electromagnetic drones in a manned / unmanned collaborative formation includes: after the electromagnetic drone in the manned / unmanned collaborative formation finds the target, on the one hand, it guides the manned aircraft to maneuver and occupy the position, and on the other hand, it simultaneously guides the frontmost electromagnetic drone responsible for active electromagnetic induction to switch to the simulated radar tracking working mode to induce the target to launch equipment. After the equipment launched by the target approaches, the target's equipment is consumed by generating speed and distance towing.

[0047] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft commanding electromagnetic drones of the present application, further, electromagnetic drones cover manned aircraft in performing tasks. The process of using electromagnetic drones in a manned / unmanned coordinated formation to cover manned aircraft in performing tasks includes: electromagnetic drones commanded by manned aircraft in a manned / unmanned coordinated formation form a cover formation, electromagnetic drones generate false targets in multiple directions, create complex air conditions on the target radar screen, saturate the target radar detection capability, cover the manned aircraft in advancing, and offset the target's long-range detection advantage; after the manned aircraft completes the maneuvering position and has the conditions to perform the mission, it launches equipment and disengages, and the equipment launched by the manned aircraft is controlled by the electromagnetic drone to ensure its own safety. In this embodiment, the way for the manned aircraft to disengage is: the manned aircraft lowers its flight altitude to below 5km and remains silent.

[0048] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft pointing electromagnetic drones in this application finally includes the dynamic reconstruction of electromagnetic drones. If the electromagnetic drone in the manned / unmanned collaborative formation is damaged, the remaining electromagnetic drones will reconstruct the formation. In this process, the electromagnetic drones in the formation try to ensure the continuity and integrity of the target positioning information, support the provision of transparent scene situation for manned aircraft, and provide continuous control of the launched equipment. At the same time, the drones adjust the formation to provide continuous electromagnetic cover for the manned aircraft.

[0049] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft accusing electromagnetic drones in this application is to deploy four small electromagnetic drones in front of the task formation, use small electromagnetic drones to implement active electromagnetic induction, trigger the target ESM system alarm, and then induce it to turn on the radar for detection; the remaining electromagnetic drones, on the one hand, coordinate passive positioning of enemy aircraft, and on the other hand, generate multiple false targets to create complex air conditions, cover manned aircraft to advance, and perform tasks. This application seizes the advantage of the electromagnetic domain, disrupts target decision-making and judgment, expands the passive perception range, saturates the target equipment channel, delays the consumption of target equipment, and covers manned aircraft to perform tasks.

[0050] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft accusing electromagnetic drones of the present application disperses the mission execution force and the electromagnetic interference force through manned / unmanned collaborative formation to build a distributed and tough electromagnetic mission system. The electromagnetic drone is deployed in advance, and through active electromagnetic induction, the target is induced to turn on the radar for detection, and then the target is stably tracked and accurately positioned by multi-machine coordination, supporting manned aircraft to use the target information to complete mobile positioning and launch equipment. Once the target turns on the radar, the electromagnetic drone can create multiple false targets, form an interference fan, and cover the manned aircraft to approach. At the same time, the drone can also consume the equipment launched by the target, creating favorable conditions for the subsequent execution of the manned aircraft. In this process, the manned aircraft can remain silent throughout the process to avoid exposure; after launching the equipment, it can be immediately detached and handed over to the electromagnetic drone for control; if individual electromagnetic drones are damaged, they can also be replaced by other electromagnetic drones to achieve a strong and resistant mission system.

[0051] The formation coordination method based on manned aircraft pointing electromagnetic drones in this application has the following main advantages:

[0052] (1) Using electromagnetic drones to deploy in advance, the detection range of manned / unmanned collaborative formations can be greatly expanded, thus offsetting the advantage of long-range target detection in a cheap way;

[0053] (2) Using electromagnetic drones to actively induce targets, disrupting their decision-making and inducing them to turn on their radars and expose their tracks;

[0054] (3) The electromagnetic UAV formation conducts coordinated passive positioning of the target and provides situation information to the manned aircraft;

[0055] (4) Electromagnetic drones can generate multiple false targets to cover manned aircraft in their maneuvers and positions, while also inducing targets to fight against false targets and consume equipment;

[0056] (5) The manned aircraft uses the target data detected by the electromagnetic drone to complete mission preparation. After launching the equipment, it is handed over to the electromagnetic drone for in-flight control. The manned aircraft can immediately detach, greatly improving its own survival probability;

[0057] (6) If the electromagnetic drone formation is destroyed, it can autonomously reconstruct the formation with other members to maintain detection of the target and cover for manned aircraft.

[0058] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
