Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-aircraft collaborative navigation, and in particular to a multi-criteria joint optimization method for a multi-aircraft hybrid distributed collaborative positioning system. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread application of multi-aircraft systems in complex missions, single aircraft are limited by their blind spots and operating radius, making it difficult to meet the needs of global situational awareness. Collaborative positioning of heterogeneous nodes has become a key development direction. However, current research on collaborative positioning mainly focuses on underwater vehicles or small drones, and mainly focuses on the design of positioning algorithms. There is relatively little research on the configuration optimization of collaborative positioning systems. Existing research often focuses on master-slave architectures in two-dimensional static scenarios, resulting in the neglect of the coupling relationship between vertical positioning accuracy and planar accuracy. Although a few studies have considered three-dimensional space, their methods are still limited by the traversal search mechanism of fixed-position nodes, and cannot achieve the optimal configuration by actively adjusting node positions. Furthermore, all current studies have not incorporated communication distance constraints into the model, limiting their engineering practicality. Summary of the Invention
