Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control technology, specifically relating to a honeycomb-type UAV aerial control platform system and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, drone swarms are increasingly widely used in military and civilian fields. They are seen in various scenarios, including coordinated reconnaissance and attacks in the military, and logistics delivery, agricultural protection, and large-scale performances in the civilian sector. In logistics, companies are exploring the use of drone swarms for cargo delivery to improve efficiency. In agriculture, drone swarms can quickly and accurately spray pesticides, supporting agricultural production. At some large-scale events, drone swarm performances have also delivered stunning visual effects.

[0003] In terms of control, controlling multiple drones is far more difficult than controlling a single drone. Flight control systems are inherently a technical challenge for drones. The spatial and temporal control of group control and the design of flight control algorithms under complex tasks all contribute to a geometric increase in control complexity, which seriously affects decision-making speed and mission coordination efficiency.

[0004] At the level of artificial intelligence, although it is hoped that drone swarms will have a high degree of autonomy, it is difficult to achieve a high degree of autonomous intelligence at this stage. They still rely heavily on remote assistance from control stations, which not only leads to signal transmission delays, but also places extremely high demands on flight, formation control and communication. Moreover, the realization of functions such as information interaction and task allocation between drones requires a powerful artificial intelligence system, which in turn faces challenges in terms of airborne computer capabilities and energy consumption.

[0005] In terms of information and communication, the information exchange of drone swarms needs to be high-speed, interception-proof, and interference-resistant. However, under the current technology, swarm communication has weak anti-interference capabilities. Once the key nodes of the communication link are damaged, the collaborative cooperation will collapse.

[0006] Energy storage limits the mobility of drone swarms. Due to the requirements of low cost and lightweight design, drone platforms have poor endurance and load-bearing capacity. Ideal low-energy devices and high-capacity battery technologies are not yet mature.

[0007] In addition, due to cost constraints, the payload capacity of a single drone is limited, and its sensor, communication, and computing capabilities are low, affecting its destructive capabilities. It can only be compensated for by swarm saturation attacks, which also increases the complexity and uncertainty of the overall operation. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Step 4, set the motor drive force value f t and action / behavior instructions μ a Package it into a task instruction.

[0034] Among them, the real-time action value a t Calculate the motor driving force f of the drone. t The honeycomb-style platform calculates the motor drive force value while simultaneously calculating the optimal reward value r. t :

[0055] The UAV airborne control platform system, upon receiving a mission instruction, sequentially completes the mission flow of reconnaissance, decision-making, command, execution, and feedback; the reconnaissance, decision-making, command, execution, and feedback specifically include the following:

[0056] Reconnaissance involves receiving mission instructions, performing target detection and early warning, intelligently analyzing and judging the collected data, and completing target profiling and generating functional parameters.

After receiving an interception mission, the drone will intercept and block the target in a formation of one main drone and two backup drones.

[0060] Feedback involves evaluating the execution process after it has begun, and then sending the evaluation results to the higher-level control platform via radio.

The complete and fixed communication layer can adapt to the dynamic adjustment of task allocation and adapt to complex battlefield environments.

[0065] 4. The control platform system proposed in this invention automatically generates the optimal handling path based on the target location and the distribution of UAVs, avoiding delays caused by manual intervention and achieving a rapid response capability of "detection and strike".

[0072] Figure 4 RDEF flowchart for a honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system. Detailed Implementation

[0073] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] The core of this invention's honeycomb-style unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system consists of a honeycomb-style platform and a UAV swarm, where the number of UAVs N is a preset value (typically N≥10). The honeycomb-style platform, serving as the central control system, comprises three core components: a power supply module, an early warning module, and an intelligent processing module. The power supply module utilizes high-efficiency solar panels and lithium-ion battery packs working in tandem, achieving a conversion efficiency of no less than 22%, supporting continuous offline operation for 72 hours. The early warning module integrates millimeter-wave radar and infrared thermal imaging sensors, enabling automatic detection, trajectory analysis, and threat assessment of targets within a 5-kilometer radius. The intelligent processing module is equipped with a high-performance edge computing unit (such as NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin), responsible for processing multi-source information and generating decision commands.

[0075] The drone swarm comprises two functional units: reconnaissance and command drones and response drones. The reconnaissance and command drones are equipped with high-definition electro-optical turrets and multispectral sensors, performing intelligence gathering, environmental monitoring, and formation command tasks. The response drones are equipped with physical interception devices and non-lethal weapon systems, responsible for target interception and damage assessment. The system architecture adopts a three-layer design: the software layer implements intelligent decision-making and dynamic networking functions, generating control commands based on the near-end policy optimization (PPO) algorithm and achieving millisecond-level low-latency networking through a TDMA-Mesh hybrid protocol; the communication layer establishes an integrated air-space-sea data link, utilizing Ka-band satellite communication for encrypted data transmission; and the service layer integrates a mission planning engine, supporting the dynamic generation of six types of tasks, including endurance management, intelligence reconnaissance, and intelligent interception.

[0076] The task instruction generation process follows a standardized four-step procedure. First, the cellular platform calculates the real-time action values ​​of the UAVs based on environmental observation data. This calculation integrates spatial orientation and motion parameters of neighboring UAVs, introducing a random exploration factor through a Gaussian distribution function. Taking a swarm of 12 UAVs as an example, the observation value of each UAV includes the relative position vector and velocity vector of the other 11 friendly UAVs. Second, the system converts the action values ​​into motor driving force values ​​using a Sigmoid function, which are mapped to the power output percentage in the [0,1] interval. During this process, a comprehensive reward value is calculated simultaneously, consisting of four parts: target distance reward (inversely proportional to the UAV-target distance), collision penalty (triggered when contact with the target is detected), attitude stability reward (suppressing abnormal angular velocities), and mission completion reward (activated upon successful interception).

[0077] Next, the system generates behavioral commands through multi-source information fusion. A neural network architecture is used to process environmental features in parallel across four dimensions: a fully connected network encodes the system's own state vector (position, velocity, and attitude); an attention mechanism aggregates neighbor interaction information; a multilayer perceptron analyzes obstacle features (position, size, and relative velocity); and a convolutional network extracts target attributes. Finally, the motor drive force values ​​and behavioral commands are encapsulated into structured data packets and transmitted to the drone terminal via a LoRa-5G dual-channel transmission.

[0078] The mission execution follows a standardized workflow. During the reconnaissance phase, the UAV swarm performs a three-dimensional scan of the target area, using deep learning algorithms to complete target identification and 3D modeling with a positioning accuracy of ±0.5 meters. The decision engine generates three types of mission instructions based on the real-time situation: initiating a response mission when the target threat level is ≥7; assigning an interception mission to targets with speeds >200km / h; and triggering an evacuation mission when the system battery level is below 20%. The command system adopts a spatial proximity principle, prioritizing UAVs within 300 meters of the target as mission execution units. The execution process employs a "one primary, two backup" redundancy strategy: if the primary UAV fails during the response mission, the backup unit automatically takes over within 500 milliseconds; the interception mission uses a triangular formation for coordinated interception. After the mission is completed, damage assessment data is transmitted back to the command center via satellite link, forming a closed-loop decision-making process. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of multi-area communication for a honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the decision-making process for long-range, medium-range, and short-range surveillance areas of a honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall system of a honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform. Figure 4 RDEF flowchart for a honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system.

[0079] A typical application scenario for this system is border security patrol. When the early warning module detects an illegally crossing aircraft, the intelligent processing module generates an interception plan within 2 seconds. Three response drones form a formation to approach the target and launch net-like projectiles for physical interception while maintaining a safe distance of 50 meters. The entire mission is monitored in real time by a reconnaissance and command drone, and the evidence data is transmitted to the higher-level command platform via an encrypted channel.

[0080] The present invention also provides a control method for the honeycomb-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airborne control platform system described in the present invention, wherein the generation of mission instructions includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 1: Obtain real-time motion values ​​of the drone using a honeycomb-style mounting platform. t :

[0092] Step 4: Package the motor drive force values ​​and action commands into a task command.

[0093] Among them, the real-time action value a t Calculate the motor driving force f of the drone. t The honeycomb-style platform calculates the motor drive force value while simultaneously calculating the optimal reward value r. t :

The decision-making process is based on reconnaissance information, which involves intelligently allocating tasks according to the current distribution locations of the target and our drones. These tasks include handling, escaping, and interception. Command involves selecting the drone in the optimal current position to execute the mission based on the intelligent task allocation plan generated by the decision-making process. Execution is the process where, after receiving a task, the drones carry out the task in a formation of one main drone and two backup drones. If the main drone fails to complete the task during execution, the two backup drones will take over the task until it is completed. After receiving the escape mission, the drone quickly escapes the designated area; after receiving the interception mission, the drone intercepts and blocks the target in a formation of one main drone and two backup drones. Feedback involves evaluating the execution process after it has begun, and then sending the evaluation results to the higher-level control platform via radio.
