Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coastal defense monitoring, and specifically to a coastal defense monitoring system based on drone swarm cooperation and its application method. Background Art
[0002] According to a remote monitoring system for border and coastal defense based on multiple communication means disclosed in the Chinese publication number "CN117979335B", it includes border and coastal defense monitoring terminals and standby data communication modules distributed at different border and coastal defense monitoring points. The border and coastal defense monitoring terminals include a power supply monitoring unit, a serial port transceiver unit, a network port monitoring unit, and a core processor, which are used to acquire and process the operation status information of the border and coastal defense monitoring points. The standby data communication module includes a mobile Internet of Things communication module and a Beidou module, which are used to enable the standby data communication module to transmit the information processed by the border and coastal defense monitoring terminal to the remote platform management center when the border and coastal defense monitoring equipment cannot transmit the equipment information to the remote platform management center through its own communication module, so as to meet the requirements of the coastal defense monitoring system for communication guarantee and high reliability of the monitoring ability of the operation status of the border and coastal defense monitoring equipment.
[0003] The above patent document and the existing technologies have the following technical problems when in use:
[0004] Problem 1: The existing coastal defense monitoring systems are usually limited to a single dimension (such as surface radar or underwater sonar), lacking the comprehensive integration of aerial, surface, and underwater data, making it difficult to form a three-dimensional monitoring network. Moreover, they mostly adopt a static deployment mode and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to environmental changes or threat trends, resulting in a lag in the response to emergencies. Data transmission mostly relies on radio or acoustic communication, which is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference or underwater bandwidth limitations, affecting real-time performance.
[0005] Problem 2: The existing coastal defense monitoring systems mostly focus on combat scenarios or security functions, ignoring the needs of marine ecological protection. For example, the operation of unmanned boats may generate noise or physical interference, affecting marine organisms, and they do not integrate environmental governance functions. At the same time, the traditional systems have insufficient robustness in complex sea conditions (such as equipment failures or bad weather), and a single point of failure is likely to lead to the interruption of monitoring and the inability to achieve task continuity. For example, if an existing underwater unmanned boat fails due to battery depletion, the monitoring of the entire underwater area will be paralyzed, which is not conducive to practical use.

The system can real-time fuse multi-source sensor data to form a complete spatial profile of the target, and predict the threat distribution in the next few hours through environmental variables (such as tides and wind speeds). For example, it can adjust the drone deployment in advance to cope with illegal border-crossing behavior during a storm. Quantum entanglement communication and acousto-optic hybrid communication ensure the stability and security of data transmission, supporting millisecond-level response, significantly improving the real-time and forward-looking nature of coastal defense monitoring. The system can not only quickly respond to current threats but also actively prevent potential risks.
[0028] 2.

The underwater unmanned vessel is equipped with pollution detection sensors and neutralizer release devices, which can monitor and control marine pollution in real time. Bionic materials (such as whale skin-like coatings) reduce the ecological interference during operation, achieving the dual goals of monitoring and environmental protection. Pulse signal regulation technology supports the autonomous collaboration and fault self-healing of the drone swarm. When a drone fails, neighboring nodes automatically take over the task to ensure continuous monitoring. This adaptive and sustainable design significantly improves the environmental friendliness and operational stability of the system, enabling it to operate efficiently under complex sea conditions, providing a reliable guarantee for long-term coastal defense tasks, and promoting technological innovation in marine ecological protection.

[0041] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Specific embodiment 1:
[0043] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, a coastal defense monitoring system based on the cooperation of a group of drones and its application method include a four-dimensional cooperative monitoring network system composed of aerial drones, surface unmanned boats, and underwater unmanned boats, realizing three-dimensional and dynamic monitoring and response of the coastal defense area. The system integrates multi-level cooperative mechanisms, advanced communication technologies, data fusion, group self-organization, and ecological integration design, and is applicable to scenarios such as border defense, disaster warning, and marine resource protection. The specific application method steps of the system are as follows:
[0044] Sp1: Build a monitoring network consisting of aerial drones, surface unmanned vessels, and underwater unmanned vessels to achieve multi-dimensional coverage and efficient perception: By deploying aerial drones, surface unmanned vessels, and underwater unmanned vessels, a three-dimensional monitoring network covering the area above the water surface, the water surface, and the underwater area is formed to ensure all-round perception of the coastal defense area; The aerial drones are powered by a hybrid of solar and wind energy, equipped with multi-modal sensors, including high-resolution cameras, infrared sensors, and radars. Their flight altitude can be dynamically adjusted to cover a range of dozens of kilometers, and they can capture the dynamic information of distant targets, such as ships or low-altitude aircraft, and transmit wide-area video data in real time; Solar films cover the wing surfaces, combined with micro wind turbines, to utilize the wind resources over the ocean to ensure long-term flight; The surface unmanned vessels are powered by wave energy, driving the built-in power generation module through the undulation of the waves, equipped with close-range detection devices, such as sonars, radars, and optical sensors, and support modular load replacement to adapt to different mission requirements (such as adding communication jammers or additional sensors), and can accurately identify the detailed features of surface targets, such as ship models or activity intentions; The underwater unmanned vessels are powered by thermoelectric energy, generating electricity using the temperature difference between the ocean surface layer and the deep layer, with a deep diving capacity of up to 200 meters, equipped with an acoustic detection system for detecting abnormal signals of submarines, underwater drones, or seabed facilities. Their outer shells are coated with a drag-reducing coating imitating whale skin to reduce underwater resistance and improve maneuverability; During operation, the system plans the initial deployment according to the geographical characteristics of the coastal defense area (such as coastline length, ocean current distribution). The ground control center sends startup instructions to each drone via satellite communication. After the aerial drones take off, they cruise along a grid path to cover a wide area; The surface unmanned vessels move along the preset waterways or dynamically adjust their positions to focus on key waters; The underwater unmanned vessels dive to the designated depth and perform inspection tasks along the seabed topography; The three types of drones collect environmental data through their respective sensors to form a multi-dimensional perception system. The aerial drones provide a macroscopic view, the surface unmanned vessels supplement detailed information, and the underwater unmanned vessels fill the monitoring blind spots in hidden areas to ensure seamless coverage; The work process includes equipment self-check, positioning calibration, and task allocation. The system completes the network construction within 10 minutes after startup and verifies the coverage effect through real-time data feedback, laying a foundation for subsequent steps.
[0045] Sp2: Form a cross-dimensional data transmission network through quantum entanglement communication and acousto-optic hybrid communication technologies to achieve efficient and secure data interaction. Through quantum entanglement communication and acousto-optic hybrid communication technologies, establish an efficient and secure data transmission network among aerial, surface, and underwater drones to ensure real-time interaction of multi-dimensional data and system coordination. Quantum entanglement communication is used for highly secure transmission between aerial drones and surface unmanned boats, achieved through pre-distributed entangled particle pairs. The ground control center distributes entangled particles to each drone before deployment. During communication, key instructions (such as target coordinates) or sensitive data (such as threat levels) are transmitted by measuring the particle states. Its anti-electromagnetic interference characteristics ensure stable operation under harsh sea conditions (such as storms or enemy interference). Acousto-optic hybrid communication combines the acoustic signals of underwater unmanned boats with the laser communication of surface buoys to achieve data transfer from underwater to the air. The underwater unmanned boat emits acoustic signals to the surface buoy, and the buoy converts the signals into laser signals and transmits them to the aerial drone, supporting the rapid upload of high-bandwidth data (such as underwater videos or sonar images). During operation, all drones form a mesh network communication structure and dynamically select the optimal path through adaptive routing technology. For example, when the signal is blocked in a certain area, the system automatically switches to a neighboring drone for relay transmission to ensure communication robustness. The workflow includes communication link initialization, data encryption and packetization, transmission, and verification. The aerial drone serves as the main relay node, receives surface and underwater data, and forwards them to the ground control center through quantum entanglement communication. The surface and underwater unmanned boats upload detailed data through acousto-optic hybrid communication. The entire process is completed within milliseconds to ensure real-time performance. The system also supports dynamic bandwidth allocation. For example, when the underwater unmanned boat detects an abnormal target, it preferentially allocates laser communication bandwidth to transmit high-resolution images. By integrating quantum and acousto-optic technologies, break through the limitations of traditional wireless communication and provide a reliable data channel for subsequent data fusion and collaborative response.
[0046] Sp3: Generate a real-time three-dimensional environmental model based on multi-source sensor data fusion, and dynamically optimize the deployment in combination with the time dimension to form a four-dimensional monitoring system. By fusing multi-source sensor data from aerial, surface, and underwater drones, a real-time three-dimensional environmental model is generated. At the same time, time dimension optimization is carried out by combining real-time analysis of ocean environmental variables, forming a four-dimensional monitoring system covering space and time. The multi-source sensor data fusion uses the resonant superposition technology of frequency-domain signals to convert infrared, sonar, optical, and acoustic data into frequency-domain signals, and generates a unified three-dimensional environmental model through dynamic tuning of resonant frequencies. For example, after fusing the infrared image of an aerial drone and the sonar data of an underwater unmanned boat, a complete three-dimensional contour of a submarine can be generated. The model supports virtual reality (VR) interface display, and operators at the ground control center can view immersive monitoring scenarios through VR headsets, and adjust the position or tasks of the drones in real time. The time dimension dynamic optimization is achieved by analyzing ocean environmental variables (such as tides, wind speeds, ocean currents). The system uses these variables to predict the future threat distribution. For example, before a storm hits, the altitude of the aerial drone is adjusted to avoid strong winds, or the density of surface unmanned boats in high-risk areas is increased. The optimized deployment plan is sent to each drone through the communication network to dynamically adjust the cruise path to maintain monitoring efficiency. During operation, the aerial drone collects dozens of frames of images per second, the surface unmanned boat periodically emits sonar signals, and the underwater unmanned boat continuously listens for acoustic data. These data are collected through the communication network to the fusion module at the ground control center, and a three-dimensional model is generated after completing the resonant superposition. The model update frequency reaches once per second to ensure real-time performance. The time optimization module analyzes environmental variables once per minute, predicts the threat trend in the next 1-6 hours, and generates path adjustment instructions. The workflow includes data collection, frequency-domain conversion, resonant fusion, model generation, variable analysis, and path optimization. The whole process runs automatically, and the operator only needs to confirm key decisions through the VR interface. Through the dual optimization of space and time, the accuracy and foresight of monitoring are significantly improved.
[0047] Sp4: Achieve autonomous cooperation and fault self-healing of UAV swarms through the group self-organization mechanism, support rapid threat identification and response: Achieve autonomous cooperation and fault self-healing of UAV swarms through the group self-organization mechanism, ensure rapid threat identification and response of the system in complex environments. The group self-organization mechanism adopts dynamic adjustment technology of pulse signals. Each UAV generates pulse signals of different frequencies according to local perception data (such as the position, speed or threat signal of neighboring UAVs), and coordinates group behavior through signal phase differences. For example, when a surface unmanned boat detects an illegal vessel, it emits high-frequency pulses to command nearby aerial UAVs to lower their altitude for tracking, while the underwater unmanned boat dives deeper to check for underwater anomalies. The pulse signals are broadcast through a mesh network, and UAVs within the group respond in real time to form a coordinated encirclement. The fault self-healing function is achieved through redundant design within the group. When any UAV stops operating due to a fault (such as battery depletion or communication interruption), its pulse signal disappears, and neighboring UAVs automatically take over its tasks after detecting the signal loss. For example, when an underwater unmanned boat fails, a nearby surface unmanned boat can temporarily dive to perform detection tasks to ensure uninterrupted monitoring coverage. During operation, the system continuously monitors the status of each UAV, and the frequency and phase difference of the pulse signals are updated once per second. Threat identification is completed through the fused three-dimensional model. For example, after an aerial UAV discovers a suspicious target, the system combines the sonar data of the surface unmanned boat to confirm the nature of the target. If it is confirmed as a threat, a coordinated response is immediately triggered. The aerial UAV locks the target position, the surface unmanned boat approaches for interception, and the underwater unmanned boat detects underwater associated targets. The entire response process is completed within seconds. The workflow includes state perception, pulse generation, signal coordination, threat verification, and task execution. The system supports dynamic role switching. For example, in a high-threat scenario, a surface unmanned boat can temporarily become a command node to coordinate the actions of other UAVs. Through the self-organization and self-healing mechanisms, the robustness and response speed of the system are significantly improved.
[0048] Sp5: Integrated ecological integration design realizes the dual functions of monitoring and marine environmental protection through bionic materials and environmental monitoring modules: Through integrated ecological integration design, the system can protect the marine environment while performing coastal defense monitoring tasks, achieving dual functions. The ecological integration design includes bionic materials and environmental monitoring modules. The bionic materials adopt a drag reduction coating imitating whale skin and are applied to the hull of the underwater unmanned vehicle. By simulating the micro-structure of whale skin, the underwater resistance is reduced, the navigation efficiency is improved, and the interference to marine organisms is reduced. Similar bionic coatings are also used on the hulls of surface unmanned vehicles and aerial drones to reduce wind and wave resistance. The environmental monitoring module includes pollution detection sensors and micro-neutralizer release devices. The underwater unmanned vehicle is equipped with highly sensitive sensors to monitor water quality parameters (such as oil pollution concentration, chemical substance content) in real time. When pollution is detected, a micro-neutralizer (such as an enzyme for decomposing oil) is automatically released. The neutralizer is released through a precise spraying device and only acts on the polluted area to avoid secondary pollution. During operation, when the aerial drone conducts wide-area cruising, it uses an infrared sensor to initially identify the surface pollution area (such as an oil film) and transmits the coordinates to the surface unmanned vehicle. After the surface unmanned vehicle approaches, it confirms the pollution type through an optical sensor. The underwater unmanned vehicle then dives below the polluted area, collects water quality data, and releases the neutralizer. All data is summarized to the ground control center through a communication network to generate a pollution distribution map and a treatment report. The work process includes pollution perception, data analysis, neutralizer release, and effect evaluation. The system generates an environmental report every hour. If the pollution exceeds the threshold, the drone deployment is automatically adjusted to increase the monitoring density of the polluted area. The ecological integration design also supports the protection of marine organisms. For example, the underwater unmanned vehicle monitors the activity trajectories of large organisms such as whales through acoustic sensors and dynamically adjusts its route to avoid interference. By seamlessly integrating the monitoring and environmental protection functions, the social value and sustainability of the system are significantly improved.
[0049] Through multi-modal power supply, quantum and acousto-optic communication, data fusion, self-organization mechanism, and bionic design, the system breaks through the limitations of traditional technologies and realizes efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly coastal defense monitoring, which is applicable to a variety of complex scenarios and has significant innovation and practicality.

[0051] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, based on the content in the above specific embodiment, the following content is further disclosed:
[0052] Based on the content of the above Specific Embodiment One, it further includes the following content:
[0053] In step Sp1, the monitoring network composed of aerial drones, surface unmanned boats, and underwater unmanned boats achieves multi-dimensional coverage and efficient perception through multi-modal sensors. The specific monitoring parameters cover target features, environmental status, and potential threats, aiming to achieve all-round monitoring of the coastal defense area. The aerial drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras, infrared sensors, and radars, mainly monitoring the target position (latitude and longitude coordinates), target speed (meters per second), target thermal signal (temperature range), and target size (length / width). The monitoring standards are: position accuracy of ±10 meters, speed accuracy of ±0.5 meters per second, thermal signal detection range of 20°C - 100°C, and size measurement error of ±1 meter. The surface unmanned boats are equipped with sonars, radars, and optical sensors, monitoring the target distance (meters), target depth (meters), surface target type (such as boat model), and water temperature (°C). The monitoring standards are: distance accuracy of ±5 meters, depth accuracy of ±1 meter, target type recognition rate of ≥95%, and water temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C. The underwater unmanned boats are equipped with acoustic detection systems, monitoring the underwater target position (three-dimensional coordinates), underwater target speed (knots), acoustic signal intensity (decibels), and water quality parameters (such as salinity). The monitoring standards are: position accuracy of ±5 meters, speed accuracy of ±0.2 knots, acoustic signal range of 40 - 120 dB, and water quality measurement error of ±0.1%. During operation, the system plans and deploys according to the geographical characteristics of the coastal defense area (such as a coastline length of 50 kilometers and a sea current speed of 1 meter per second). Each drone collects data in real-time through sensors and uploads it to the ground control center, forming a multi-dimensional perception system to ensure seamless coverage. The specific monitoring parameters are shown in Table 1 below:
[0054]
[0055] Quantum entanglement communication and acousto-optic hybrid communication in step Sp2 are the core technologies for constructing a cross-dimensional data transmission network, aiming to achieve efficient and secure data interaction among aerial, surface, and underwater drones.
[0056] Quantum entanglement communication uses entangled states in quantum mechanics to achieve highly secure data transmission between aerial drones and surface unmanned boats. Information is transmitted through the measurement of the quantum states of entangled particle pairs. The specific structure is as follows:
[0057] Entangled particle generator: The ground control center is equipped with a quantum entanglement generation device to generate entangled photon pairs before deployment;
[0058] Particle distribution module: Distribute the entangled photons to the optical communication units of aerial drones and surface unmanned boats respectively;
[0059] Measurement and transmission unit: The drone is equipped with a photon detector to encode and decode data by measuring the polarization state of the particles;
[0060] Before deployment, the ground control center generates 1000 pairs of entangled photons and distributes them to each UAV (500 pairs for each aerial UAV and surface unmanned boat). During communication, the aerial UAV encodes the target coordinates (such as longitude 120.5°E and latitude 25.3°N) by changing the polarization state of the photons, and the surface unmanned boat measures the corresponding photon state to decode the information. The whole process does not require traditional electromagnetic wave transmission and has strong anti-interference ability. The transmission rate is about 10 kbps, which is suitable for critical instructions (such as interception commands) or sensitive data, and remains stable under storms (electromagnetic interference intensity > 50 dB) or enemy interference, ensuring data security.
[0061] Acoustic-optical hybrid communication: Acoustic-optical hybrid communication combines underwater acoustic signals and surface laser communication to achieve high-bandwidth data transfer from an underwater unmanned boat to an aerial UAV. The specific structure is as follows:
[0062] Acoustic transmitter: The underwater unmanned boat is equipped with a sound wave generator to emit acoustic signals with a frequency of 20 - 50 kHz;
[0063] Surface buoy: Deploy a buoy as a relay station, which is equipped with an acoustic receiver and a laser transmitter inside;
[0064] Laser receiver: The aerial UAV is equipped with a photodetector to receive laser signals;
[0065] After the underwater unmanned boat detects an underwater target, it generates a sonar image (resolution 1024x768) and transmits it to the buoy through an acoustic signal (bandwidth 100 bps). The transmission distance is 500 meters and it takes about 5 seconds. The buoy converts the acoustic signal into a laser signal (wavelength 532 nm, bandwidth 10 Mbps) and transmits it to the aerial UAV, with a distance of 2 kilometers and it takes about 0.1 seconds. The aerial UAV decodes and forwards it to the ground control center. The whole process supports real-time upload of high-bandwidth data (such as video streams), breaks through the underwater communication bandwidth limit, improves data transmission efficiency, establishes a quantum entanglement link and an acoustic-optical communication network. The UAV encodes data according to the mission requirements, the quantum entanglement communication transmits instructions, and the acoustic-optical hybrid communication transmits images. The ground control center confirms the data integrity.
[0066] The transmission data parameters of quantum entanglement communication and acoustic-optical hybrid communication are shown in Table 2 below:
[0067]
[0068] The four-dimensional monitoring system in step Sp3 forms a dynamic monitoring network covering the coastal defense area by integrating the three spatial dimensions (aerial, surface, underwater) and the time dimension. Its function is to achieve three-dimensional and forward-looking monitoring, and improve the threat recognition and response capabilities. The specific monitoring content is as follows:
[0069] Spatial parameters: target location (latitude, longitude + depth), target speed (m / s or knots), target type (e.g., ship, submarine);
[0070] Temporal parameters: threat distribution trend (e.g., target movement path within 1 - 6 hours), environmental changes (e.g., wind speed, tide);
[0071] Environmental parameters: wind speed (m / s), wave height (m), water temperature (°C), ocean current speed (m / s);
[0072] The dimensions and parameters of the monitoring data are shown in Table 3 below:
[0073]
[0074] Using the frequency - domain signal resonance superposition technology, convert the infrared images of aerial drones (resolution 1920x1080), sonar data of surface unmanned boats (range 500 m), and acoustic signals of underwater unmanned boats (40 - 120 dB) into frequency - domain signals, generate a three - dimensional model through resonance tuning. For example, when a submarine (depth 80 m, speed 5 knots) is detected, the system fuses the data to generate its complete contour; analyze environmental variables (wind speed 15 m / s, waves 2 m), predict the threat trend (e.g., the submarine will approach the coast by 5 km in 2 hours), and adjust the path of the drone. The aerial drone captures 30 frames of images per second, the surface unmanned boat emits sonar once every 5 seconds, the underwater unmanned boat continuously monitors the acoustic signal, the data is collected to the ground control center through the communication network, the model update frequency is 1 time / second, the time prediction is updated every minute, the three - dimensional model improves the target recognition rate to 90% compared with 60% of traditional technologies, the prediction accuracy rate is 85%, early deployment reduces the threat occurrence rate by 30%, and the VR interface supports immersive monitoring, improving the operator's decision - making efficiency by 50%.
[0075] Step Sp4 realizes the autonomous cooperation and fault self - healing of the drone swarm through the group self - organization mechanism, ensuring the rapid response and stability of the system in complex environments:
[0076] Realization of autonomous cooperation: Using the pulse signal dynamic adjustment technology, each drone generates a pulse signal according to local perception data (such as the position of neighboring drones within 500 m, threat signal intensity), the frequency range is 1 - 10 Hz, high frequency indicates an urgent task. When the surface unmanned boat detects an illegal vessel (speed 8 knots), it emits a 10 - Hz pulse, which is broadcast through the mesh network. After receiving the signal, the aerial drone descends to a height of 200 m for tracking, and the underwater unmanned boat dives to 150 m to check for underwater threats. The signal phase difference (0 - 180°) coordinates the group behavior, the update frequency is 1 time / second, the collaborative response time is shortened to 4 seconds, and the encirclement success rate reaches 92%;
[0077] Fault self-healing implementation: Through group redundancy design, when a certain UAV fails (pulse signal disappears), neighboring UAVs automatically take over the task. When the battery of the underwater unmanned boat runs out (coverage area of 5 square kilometers) and its pulse signal is interrupted, nearby surface unmanned boats detect the signal loss and temporarily dive to 50 meters to take over the detection task. The coverage rate is maintained at 93%. The ground control center monitors the status in real time, adjusts the deployment, with state perception (detected per second), signal interruption confirmation (within 2 seconds), and task allocation (completed within 5 seconds). After the fault, the coverage rate maintenance rate is increased to 93% (67% for traditional technologies).
[0078] The environmental monitoring module in step Sp5 realizes marine environmental monitoring through the sensors of the underwater unmanned boat, aiming to protect the ecology and control pollution. The monitoring parameters are shown in Table 4 below:
[0079]
[0080] The monitoring method is as follows: The underwater unmanned boat is equipped with highly sensitive pollution detection sensors (chemical sensors, turbidimeters) and acoustic sensors. The sensors collect data at a frequency of 1 time per minute and upload the data to the ground control center through acoustic-optical hybrid communication after detecting the polluted area.
[0081] Post-monitoring processing:
[0082] Pollution control: When the detected oil concentration is 150 ppm, 500 ml of neutralizing agent (decomposing enzyme) is released and it drops to 50 ppm within 30 minutes;
[0083] Ecological protection: When the whale signal is detected (80 dB, 3 km away), the speed is adjusted to 2 knots to avoid the habitat;
[0084] Data processing: Generate a pollution distribution map (update frequency of 1 time per hour). If the concentration exceeds 100 ppm, increase the monitoring density;
[0085] Through the operation of the above step Sp5, the pollution control rate reaches 65% and the ecological interference is reduced to 58 dB, realizing the dual functions of monitoring and environmental protection. Specific Embodiment 3:
[0087] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, based on the content in the above specific embodiments, the following content is further disclosed:
[0088] The composition architecture of the system includes a distributed computing layer, a collaborative control layer, an environmental perception layer, an adaptive energy management layer, and an ecological interaction layer, specifically including the following:
[0089] Distributed Computing Layer: Task allocation is achieved through real-time data interaction between the ground control center and the drone swarm. Based on decomposing complex monitoring tasks into small units that can be processed in parallel, the high-performance computing module of the ground control center and the edge computing capabilities of the drone swarm work together. The raw data (such as images and sonar signals) collected by aerial drones, surface unmanned boats, and underwater unmanned boats is transmitted to the ground control center through quantum entanglement communication. After the center generates allocation instructions according to task priorities (such as threat level and coverage area), they are sent back to each drone through a mesh network. The process includes data upload, task decomposition, instruction generation, and distribution. For example, when an underwater unmanned boat detects a submarine signal, the ground control center analyzes the data within 5 seconds and assigns an aerial drone to lower its altitude for tracking. Through a distributed architecture, the computing load is dispersed to each node throughout the process, avoiding single-point overload, significantly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of task allocation, and ensuring that the system can still operate efficiently under high-load scenarios.
[0090] The Cooperative Control Layer coordinates the group behavior of aerial, surface, and underwater drones through a cross-dimensional communication network. Based on dynamic signal regulation and group self-organization, real-time collaboration between drones is achieved through the frequency and phase difference of pulse signals. For example, when a surface unmanned boat detects an illegal vessel, it generates a high-frequency pulse signal and broadcasts it to aerial drones and underwater unmanned boats through acoustic-optic hybrid communication. The aerial drones then adjust their positions for wide-area locking, while the underwater unmanned boat dives to inspect underwater threats. This includes signal generation, broadcasting, behavior adjustment, and feedback verification. The signal is updated once per second to adapt to environmental changes. The cross-dimensional communication network combines the high security of quantum entanglement communication and the high bandwidth of acoustic-optic hybrid communication to ensure the stability and timeliness of instruction transmission, forming a highly adaptive group collaboration system that can quickly respond to threats and maintain overall stability under complex sea conditions.
[0091] The Environmental Perception Layer constructs a dynamic monitoring model through multi-source sensor data fusion. It integrates the infrared and optical data of aerial drones, the sonar and radar data of surface unmanned boats, and the acoustic and environmental data of underwater unmanned boats into a unified three-dimensional view. Using the resonance superposition technology of frequency-domain signals, multi-modal data is converted into frequency-domain signals and then a real-time three-dimensional environment model is generated through resonance tuning. For example, the thermal signal of a ship captured by an aerial drone is fused with the sonar profile of an underwater unmanned boat to generate a complete three-dimensional image of the target. The process includes data collection, frequency-domain conversion, resonance fusion, and model output. The model is updated at a frequency of once per second and presented to the ground control center through a VR interface. The operator can view it immersively and adjust the monitoring strategy, significantly improving the accuracy of target recognition and the dynamic perception ability of the environment, providing a reliable basis for threat analysis and decision-making.
[0092] The adaptive energy management layer dynamically allocates energy resources through multi-modal power supply technology. Based on real-time monitoring of the energy status of each UAV and optimizing the allocation according to mission requirements, the aerial UAVs generate electricity using sunlight and sea breeze through flexible solar films and micro wind turbines. The surface unmanned boats convert the kinetic energy of ocean waves into electrical energy through wave energy modules. The underwater unmanned boats generate electricity using the temperature difference between the ocean surface and deep layers through thermoelectric energy. The system dynamically adjusts the energy output according to environmental conditions (such as light intensity, wave height) and mission intensity (such as cruise distance, sensor load). For example, when there is no sunlight at night, the aerial UAVs preferentially use wind power generation. The process includes energy collection, status monitoring, allocation optimization, and execution adjustment. The energy allocation plan is updated every minute, significantly extending the mission persistence of the UAV fleet and ensuring the maintenance of high-efficiency monitoring capabilities during long-term operation.
[0093] The ecological interaction layer optimizes the coordinated operation of the UAV fleet and the marine ecosystem through environmental monitoring and feedback mechanisms, integrates environmental monitoring into the monitoring mission, and adjusts the UAV behavior through feedback. The underwater unmanned boats are equipped with pollution detection sensors to collect water quality data in real time (such as oil pollution concentration). When pollution is detected, a trace amount of neutralizer (such as enzymes that decompose oil pollution) is released, and at the same time, the pollution information is transmitted to the ground control center through acoustic-optic hybrid communication. The aerial UAVs use infrared sensors to locate the pollution range, and the surface unmanned boats assist in verifying and optimizing the position of the neutralizer release. The process includes pollution perception, data analysis, neutralizer release, and effect evaluation. An environmental report is generated every hour and the UAV deployment is adjusted according to the pollution trend. For example, the monitoring density in the polluted area is increased. Through the coordinated operation of monitoring and environmental protection, the interference of the system to the marine ecosystem is reduced and the environmental governance ability is improved.
[0094] The hardware components of the system include the hybrid power module, multi-modal sensor components of the aerial UAVs, the modular execution unit of the surface unmanned boats, and the bionic propulsion system of the underwater unmanned boats, specifically including the following:
[0095] The hybrid power module of the aerial UAVs integrates flexible solar films and micro wind turbines, meeting the needs of long-term flight through multi-modal energy collection. The flexible solar films are covered on the wing surfaces, absorbing sunlight during the day and converting it into electrical energy. The micro wind turbines are installed on the top of the fuselage, using the continuous wind power over the ocean to generate electricity at night or on cloudy days. The two energy sources are dynamically regulated through an intelligent switching circuit. For example, solar energy is preferentially used on sunny days and switched to wind power at night. The process includes energy collection, voltage conversion, storage allocation, and load supply. The system monitors the energy status every minute and adjusts the output power, significantly improving the endurance of the aerial UAVs, which can fly continuously for more than 24 hours, ensuring the stability and persistence of wide-area surveillance missions.
[0096] The multi-modal sensor component of an aerial drone includes an infrared and optical lens with a switchable mode, which supports dynamic environment adaptation. By the collaborative work of multiple sensors, it covers the sensing requirements under different environmental conditions. The high-resolution optical lens is used for visible light imaging during the day, and the infrared lens is used for thermal imaging at night or in foggy weather. The radar is used to assist in detecting distant targets. The system automatically switches modes according to the environmental light and weather conditions. For example, in foggy weather, the infrared and radar combination is preferred. The process includes environmental detection, mode switching, data acquisition, and transmission. The sensor data is updated dozens of times per second and transmitted to the ground control center through quantum entanglement communication, significantly enhancing the environmental adaptability and target detection accuracy of the aerial drone, and ensuring reliable wide-area surveillance data can still be provided under complex meteorological conditions.
[0097] The modular execution unit of a surface unmanned boat supports the quick replacement of detection and interference devices, and realizes the flexible expansion of hardware functions through standardized interfaces. The execution unit is designed as a detachable module, with sonar, radar, and optical sensors built-in for detection tasks, and can be quickly replaced with a communication jammer or non-lethal deterrence device for response tasks. For example, when an illegal boat is detected, on-site personnel can replace it with a jamming module through a magnetic interface within 5 minutes. The process includes module identification, installation calibration, function activation, and task execution. The system automatically detects the new module and adjusts the control parameters, significantly improving the task flexibility and response ability of the surface unmanned boat, being able to quickly switch functions according to the threat type, and enhancing the actual combat applicability of the system.
[0098] The bionic propulsion system of an underwater unmanned boat improves underwater mobility and energy efficiency through a thruster that simulates the swinging mode of fish, optimizes the propulsion efficiency by imitating the swinging law of the fish tail, designs the thruster as a flexible swinging structure, drives it through a built-in servo motor to imitate the S-shaped movement trajectory of fish, and combines thermoelectric energy supply to provide continuous power. For example, when diving to a depth of 200 meters, the system adjusts the swinging frequency according to the water flow direction to reduce resistance. The process includes water flow sensing, frequency optimization, propulsion execution, and energy efficiency monitoring. The thruster adjusts the swinging parameters once per second to adapt to the changes in the undercurrent, significantly increasing the sailing speed and energy utilization rate of the underwater unmanned boat, reducing the energy consumption by about 30% compared with traditional propeller propulsion, and at the same time reducing the acoustic interference to the underwater ecosystem.

[0112] Experimental method: Existing technology: Deploy traditional underwater unmanned boats, without pollution treatment function or self-healing mechanism, with a coverage area of 20 square kilometers;
[0113] This solution: Deploy 3 aerial drones (covering 30 square kilometers, with an infrared detection range of 10 kilometers); Deploy 6 surface unmanned boats (each covering 5 square kilometers, releasing 500 milliliters of neutralizing agent); Deploy 3 underwater unmanned boats (diving depth of 20 meters, with an acoustic sensor range of 1 kilometer); Enable pollution treatment and group self-healing functions.
[0114] Measurement indicators: Pollution treatment effect: Percentage of reduction in pollution concentration; System robustness: Maintenance of monitoring coverage rate after failure; Degree of ecological interference: Decibel value of acoustic interference during operation.
[0115] Experimental process: After a pollution incident occurs, the existing technology only records the pollution range. This solution releases a neutralizing agent and treats the pollution. After simulating the failure of an underwater unmanned boat, observe the change in coverage rate and the level of acoustic interference, and record the pollution concentration, coverage rate, and interference data before and after treatment.
[0116] The experimental results are as follows:
[0117] Experiment 1: Multi-dimensional collaborative monitoring and dynamic threat prediction. The experimental results are shown in Table 5:
[0118]
[0119] Data analysis:

[0121] Threat response time: The existing technology averages 18 seconds (fluctuating from 15 to 22 seconds), and this solution averages 4 seconds (fluctuating from 3 to 5 seconds). The fast communication and self-organization mechanism significantly shortens the time;

[0131] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, based on the content in the above specific embodiments, the following content is further disclosed:
[0132] To further verify the feasibility of the technical solution of this application, the following cases are used for further illustration:

[0134] Application scenario: The territorial sea boundary in the southeast coastal area of a certain country, with an area of about 150 square kilometers and a coastline length of 50 kilometers. Recently, illegal fishing boats have frequently crossed the border for fishing. Traditional patrol boats discover about 20 border-crossing incidents per month, but the interception success rate is only 60%, and the monitoring and response capabilities need to be improved;
[0135] Device deployment: Deploy 6 aerial drones to cover 150 square kilometers, with a cruising radius of 10 kilometers for each; deploy 12 surface unmanned boats, with 1 boat configured every 4 kilometers along the coastline to cover the 5-kilometer range near the shore; deploy 6 underwater unmanned boats to focus on monitoring areas with a water depth of 50 - 200 meters;

[0138] Interception Operation: The aerial drone locks on to the target and continuously tracks it. The surface unmanned boat approaches at a speed of 10 knots and reaches the target position within 5 minutes, releasing a warning signal. The underwater unmanned boat checks for unrelated underwater threats and confirms that the target is a single vessel;
[0139] Through multi-dimensional collaborative monitoring, 3D coverage ensures detection without dead angles, and dynamic prediction and self-organization mechanisms shorten the interception time. The specific indicators are shown in Table 7 below;

It is necessary to quickly treat the pollution and protect the nearby whale habitat;
[0144] Pollution Detection: Deploy 4 aerial drones to cover 20 square kilometers at a flight altitude of 300 meters, using infrared sensors to detect the oil pollution range; deploy 8 surface unmanned boats, each covering 2.5 square kilometers, using optical sensors to measure the oil pollution thickness (about 2 mm); deploy 4 underwater unmanned boats to dive to a depth of 20 meters to detect the sinking oil pollution concentration (10 ppm);

[0146] Ecological Protection: The underwater unmanned boat detects whale activities (3 kilometers away from the polluted area), adjusts its speed to 2 knots, and reduces the acoustic interference to 55 dB; the aerial drone dynamically adjusts its flight path to avoid flying over the whale area;
[0147] Achieving Integration of Detection and Treatment: Quickly locate and treat pollution; Ecologically Friendly Design: Low-interference operation to protect marine life; The monitoring indicators are shown in Table 8 below:
[0148]
[0149] This solution reduces the pollution concentration by 60% within 12 hours and the acoustic interference to 55 dB, protecting the whale habitat and demonstrating the synergistic effect of environmental protection and monitoring.
[0150] Case 3: Typhoon disaster warning and rescue support:
[0151] Application scenario: A certain sea area is about to be hit by a typhoon with an expected wind speed of 30 m / s, a wave height of 5 m, and a coverage area of 200 square kilometers. Early warning and rescue support are required.
[0152] Data collection: Deploy 8 aerial drones to cover 200 square kilometers at a flight altitude of 400 m to monitor the wind speed (current 25 m / s) and wave height (3 m); deploy 15 surface unmanned boats along the coastline with a water temperature of 28°C and an ocean current speed of 1.5 m / s; deploy 8 underwater unmanned boats to a depth of 50 m to monitor the change in seabed pressure (within the normal range).
[0153] Prediction and deployment: The system predicts the typhoon center coordinates (longitude 121.0°E, latitude 26.0°N), which will make landfall in 6 hours with an influence radius of 50 km; adjust the deployment: lower the aerial drones to a height of 200 m and concentrate the surface unmanned boats in the high-risk area (10 km from the coast).
[0154] Rescue support: During the typhoon, the system updates the sea conditions data every 5 minutes, and the rescue boats avoid the core area of the wind and waves according to the data and reach the trapped fishing boat (coordinates 121.2°E, 26.1°N). A
[0155] Through dynamic prediction, the typhoon path can be accurately predicted; through adaptive deployment, the resource allocation is optimized and the rescue efficiency is improved. The specific indicators are shown in Table 9 below:
[0156]
[0157] The prediction accuracy of this solution reaches 90%, the rescue response time is shortened to 2 hours, and the data update frequency is increased to 12 times per hour, providing efficient support for disaster response.
[0158] The above cases demonstrate the application effect of this solution in border defense, pollution control, and disaster rescue through specific scenario data (such as sea area, equipment quantity, environmental parameters). The data shows that this solution is significantly superior to traditional technologies in terms of coverage rate, response speed, treatment efficiency, and prediction accuracy, verifying its feasibility and core technology advantages.
