BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] In one embodiment: it is assumed that a drone body consists of three regions (i.e., front, middle, and rear parts), and graphene stealth film material is used.

[0017] The following will adopt a distributed optimization method for the deployment of stealth materials for drones proposed by the present invention: (1) Obtaining information about the stealth material and the environment. Area 1 (front): The area of ​​the stealth material block is S1 = 0.6 m2 , voltage V1 = 4V, distance D1 = 1500m; Area 2 (middle): stealth material block area S2 = 0.4m 2 , voltage V2 = 3.5V, distance D2 = 1500m; Area 3 (rear): stealth material block area S3 = 0.3m 2 , voltage V3=3V, distance D3=1500m; Ambient temperature T env =25℃, maximum voltage V max =4V, material performance coefficient k1=0.7, k2=0.5; Thermal response coefficient α=0.2, β=0.3; Expected stealth effect R 1,des =0.07, R 2,des =0.04, R 3,des =0.025.

[0018] (2) Check whether the area of ​​each stealth material block meets the constraint conditions. In this example, S min =0.1 m 2 , that is, the areas of the above three regions all meet the constraints.

[0019] (3) Calculate the stealth effect: Calculate the stealth effect of area 1 R1=0.06426; Calculate the stealth effect of area 2 R2=0.03423; The calculated stealth effect of area 3 is R3=0.02077.

[0020] (4) Calculate the total deviation of the stealth effect J = 8.41042 × 10 -5 .

[0021] (5) In this example, the threshold J of the total deviation of the stealth effect is set max =1×10 -4 , the above calculation results in J=8.41042×10 -5 ≤J max =1×10 -4 , then there is no need to adjust the voltage to optimize the stealth effect. If it is not satisfied, it is necessary to readjust the control voltage to optimize the stealth effect until the threshold condition is met.

[0022] The above example demonstrates how to implement a distributed optimization method for the placement of stealth materials for UAVs. By optimizing the stealth effect based on stealth evaluation, the stealth material was successfully adjusted and optimized. This method significantly improves the stealth of UAVs during missions and provides a theoretical basis for further practical applications.
