Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, small unmanned aerial vehicle systems are increasingly widely applied in the military field, and particularly exhibit great potential in combat support tasks such as tactical reconnaissance, communication relay and material delivery. Single or multiple heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles cooperatively performing tasks have become an important means to improve the combat capability of troops and sustain combat capability.

[0003] Most existing unmanned aerial vehicle combat support modes still have many technical bottlenecks and actual combat defects:

[0004] 1. The battery of the unmanned aerial vehicle is inconvenient to charge, and needs to be separately provided with a generator, which wastes space and is not good in mobility and flexibility, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is poor in mobile deployment capability and difficult to keep up with the highly mobile tactical rhythm in modern high-tech wars.

[0005] 2. In special tasks of special terrains where personnel cannot arrive, such as various emergencies and forest fire prevention, the communication link of the unmanned aerial vehicle is extremely prone to be interrupted due to terrain shielding or enemy interference, resulting in task failure.

[0006] 3. The existing unmanned aerial vehicle system is relatively single in function, and a reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle, a relay unmanned aerial vehicle and a delivery unmanned aerial vehicle are usually developed and used as independent systems, and lack effective integration and cooperation. When complex tasks need to be performed, multiple independent systems need to be mobilized, and there are problems such as cooperation difficulty, complex command link and great logistics support pressure, and it is difficult to form an efficient "reconnaissance-control-fight-evaluation" closed loop.
