Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ejection control, and in particular to a UAV ejection system for emergency response. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in emergency response applications such as firefighting and rescue, earthquake search and rescue, and chemical leak monitoring, rapid deployment and reliable communications have become key technical bottlenecks. Currently, mainstream UAV launch methods rely on vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) or fixed runways, while catapult launch has attracted significant attention due to its runway-free and rapid deployment. However, the catapult launch process involves the coupling effect of severe mechanical vibration and communication link jitter, which poses a serious threat to the timely transmission of critical data streams such as flight control commands and emergency alerts.
[0003] The high acceleration shock and wobbling at the moment of ejection can cause a broadband vibration spectrum in the drone body and sled, disrupting the directional performance of the communication antenna and exacerbating the Doppler spread of the channel. This can seriously inaccurate traditional link quality assessments based on static or slowly changing environment assumptions. Furthermore, the minute attitude jitter caused by mechanical flutter can significantly reduce the coherence time of the wireless channel, making it impossible for the receiver to maintain stable carrier phase tracking, leading to a sharp increase in the bit error rate. Existing communication quality models often ignore this dynamic impact and are unable to promptly reflect changes in link reliability.
[0004] Existing solutions usually separate and optimize mechanical design and communication systems, lack compensation models that can conduct cross-domain coupling analysis of vibration characteristics and link quality, making it difficult to achieve real-time compensation for vibration-communication interaction effects at the system level, resulting in insufficient reliability of emergency response.
[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a UAV ejection system for emergency response. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The present invention is further improved in that the vibration-link coupling impact assessment unit includes a channel coherence time correction model based on the vibration coefficient for the time-varying impact of drone flutter on the wireless channel. where k v represents the vibration coupling coefficient, f D Indicates Doppler frequency shift; incorporates vibration impact into the signal quality evaluation system and establishes a revised vibration-link impact signal score Where T C,ref represents the standard coherence time in reference static state.
[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that the dynamic priority queue generation module includes a task importance calculation unit and a priority scoring unit;
[0017] The task importance calculation unit includes the definition of typical emergency event types, including {fire investigation E1, personnel search and rescue E2, hazardous chemical leakage monitoring E3, earthquake disaster area assessment E4}. Each emergency event type is represented by a set of semantic feature vectors including hazard level, time sensitivity, and regional complexity; a judgment matrix is constructed for event features, and the importance weight W of each task category relative to the event type is automatically calculated based on the information entropy of the event features. ij , represents the jth instruction task category of the i-th event type, and then the final judgment matrix W is obtained; for the j-th instruction task category, the "event classifier" is constructed through the preliminary sensor data to determine the event type Ek, and the weight of each category at the time of output by the XGBoost model is the event importance score of the j-th instruction task category under the event type Ek.
[0018] A further improvement of the present invention is that the priority scoring unit includes combining the vibration-link impact signal score OSQ and the vibration coefficient Vic to calculate the priority score: Where α1 represents the current event importance score weight, α2 represents the vibration-link impact signal score weight, and α3 represents the vibration coefficient weight.
