[0003] METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXCHANGING INFORMATION BETWEEN AN FPV DRONE AND ITS OPERATOR

[0004] 5 Field of technology

[0005] The invention relates to communications technology and can be used to establish a communication link with increased interference immunity and range between an FPV drone and its operator. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for organizing the exchange of information with increased interference immunity and range between the onboard equipment of an FPV drone and its operator, and a system for organizing the exchange of information with increased interference immunity and range between the onboard equipment of an FPV drone and its operator.

[0006] The method according to the present invention consists in the following:

[0007] 15 - a hybrid communication line is used to exchange information, consisting of two series-connected communication lines - radio frequency and fiber-optic, as well as a module that is separated along the FPV drone's trajectory and landed in various ways;

[0008] - when radio interference appears and exceeds a certain 20 permissible level, the operator lands a module detachable from the FPV drone, which includes the on-board part of the FPV drone radio control transceiver and the landing part of the fiber-optic communication line, consisting of an optoelectronic transceiver, as well as a parachute suspension and an autonomous power source with an on-off unit.

[0009] 1

[0010] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) control of the FPV drone is carried out in a combined manner - via a radio line from the FPV drone operator to the detachable module, and via a fiber-optic communication line from the detachable module to the FPV drone itself;

[0011] - an increase in the level of radio interference when the FPV drone approaches the place of use does not affect the above-mentioned hybrid communication line;

[0012] - the range of the above-mentioned hybrid communication line is equal to the sum of the ranges of the radio line and fiber-optic communication line included in it.

[0013] This invention relates to communication technology and can be used to organize a communication line with increased noise immunity and range between the on-board equipment of an FPV drone and its operator.

[0014] State of the art

[0015] Various methods are known for organizing the exchange of information between the FPV drone's control equipment and its operator. Currently, commercial FPV drones are widely used. They are controlled using a duplex radio link, which transmits real-time video from the FPV drone's onboard surveillance camera to the operator's display, while control commands are transmitted from the operator's control panel to the FPV drone's controls. Information is exchanged by modulating a radio signal, either fixed or variable in frequency using a specific algorithm, using various methods. The main disadvantage of this method is its weak 2

[0016] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)interference immunity of a radio communication line, which allows, by tuning to the carrier frequency of a radio signal, to jam it either with an interference signal of greater power, or to intercept control by duplicating the structure of control command signals.

[0017] Another well-known method of controlling an FPV drone is to exchange information between the FPV drone's control equipment and its operator via a fiber-optic communication line. This method of information exchange is immune to radio interference. The disadvantage of this method is the relatively short range of the fiber-optic communication line, due to the strength, weight, and size of the fiber optic cable.

[0018] The above mentioned methods of organizing the exchange of information between the FPV drone control equipment and its operator are analogs of the proposed method and can be considered the closest analogs (prototypes) to the claimed solution.

[0019] The combination of the above-mentioned analogs in the claimed combined method by means of a technical solution using a module that can be separated and landed in various ways, connecting the above-mentioned communication lines, makes it possible to obtain a technical result that is unattainable within the framework of the analogs of the present invention.

[0020] The essence of the invention

[0021] The present invention is aimed at solving the technical problem of organizing the exchange of information via a communication line with increased noise immunity and range between the control equipment of an FPV drone and its operator, the result of which is the expansion of 3

[0022] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the possibility of using FPV drones in conditions of intense radio interference, both natural and artificial, including the use of electronic countermeasure equipment during combat operations, as well as a significant increase in the range of the FPV-drone - operator communication line.

[0023] The technical result achieved in this way is:

[0024] - expanding the possibilities of using FPV drones in conditions of intense radio interference, both natural and artificial, as well as significantly increasing the range of the FPV-drone-operator communication channel.

[0025] providing the FPV drone operator with additional opportunities to successfully complete the tasks carried out by the FPV drone by minimizing electromagnetic interference of various origins affecting the FPV-drone - operator communication line;

[0026] - providing the FPV drone operator with additional physical protection (in the event of participation in military operations) associated with the possibility of moving away from the line of combat contact, which reduces the likelihood of the operator’s location being determined and being hit by return fire from the enemy;

[0027] - increasing the overall efficiency of using an FPV drone due to the expansion of its application possibilities.

[0028] The stated problem is solved by achieving the specified technical results when implementing a system according to the present invention and a method according to the present invention, which includes the following features common with the prototype:

[0029] 4

[0030] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) - the method of exchanging information via the FPV communication line of the drone corresponds to the algorithms of its implementation and control, including the ability to transmit signals from the on-board overview video camera of the drone to the display of the operator’s control panel via a radio communication line, as well as the reverse transmission of drone control commands from the control panel via the same radio line;

[0031] - the method of exchanging information via the FPV drone communication line corresponds to the algorithms for its implementation and control, including the ability to transmit signals from the drone's onboard surveillance video camera to the operator's control panel display via a fiber-optic communication line, and the reverse transmission of drone control commands from the control panel via the same line.

[0032] An additional feature of the method according to the present invention is that the video signal from the on-board overview video camera of the FPV drone is first converted into a form suitable for transmission over a fiber-optic communication line, and then into a form suitable for transmission over a radio communication line.

[0033] Another additional feature of the method according to the present invention is that the FPV drone control commands from the operator's control panel are first converted into a form suitable for transmission over a radio communication line, and then into a form suitable for transmission over a fiber-optic communication line.

[0034] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the conversion of fiber-optic communication line signals into radio communication line signals and the reverse conversion is carried out in a module detachable from the FPV drone.

[0035] 5

[0036] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the module detachable from the FPV drone includes an optical-electronic receiving and transmitting device connected to the movable end of the on-board unwinding reel of the fiber optic cable, and a receiving and transmitting device of a radio communication line coupled with a receiving and transmitting antenna of a radio signal.

[0037] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the module detachable from the FPV drone includes a parachute-type suspension system that comes into operation when the FPV drone is used in the kamikaze mode, and an autonomous power supply system consisting of a battery and a unit for switching it on and off.

[0038] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the unit for switching on and off the battery of the detachable module ensures that the said battery is switched on mechanically by the operator during pre-launch preparation of the FPV drone, and switched off remotely via a radio communication line, or with the help of a timer built into the unit for switching on and off, after the FPV drone has completed its task.

[0039] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that before separating the detachable module from the FPV drone, the video signal from the on-board video camera, converted in the on-board electro-optical transceiver into optical form, is transmitted to the electro-optical transceiver of the detachable module via the on-board reel of the fiber optic cable, which is in a wound form.

[0040] 6

[0041] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that after separation of the detachable module from the FPV drone, the video signal from the on-board video camera, converted in the on-board electro-optical transceiver into optical form, is transmitted to the electro-optical transceiver of the detachable module through an unwinding on-board reel of fiber optic cable.

[0042] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that before separation of the detachable module from the FPV drone, radio commands for controlling the FPV drone from the operator's control panel, received by the receiving and transmitting device of the radio communication line of the detachable module and converted into an optical signal by the optoelectronic receiving and transmitting device of the detachable module, are then sent to the on-board receiving and transmitting device of the fiber-optic communication line through the on-board reel of the fiber-optic cable, which is in a wound form.

[0043] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that after separation of the detachable module from the FPV drone, radio commands for controlling the FPV drone from the operator's control panel, received by the receiving and transmitting device of the radio communication line of the detachable module, and converted into an optical signal by the optoelectronic receiving and transmitting device of the detachable module, are then sent to the on-board receiving and transmitting device of the fiber-optic communication line through an unwinding on-board reel of the fiber-optic cable.

[0044] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that monitoring the level of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in 7

[0045] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) of a radio communication line is carried out by an EMF level detector, which is part of the receiving and transmitting device of the radio communication line operator, and the results of the analysis are displayed in the form of quantitative indicators on the operator’s display.

[0046] Another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the command to separate the detachable module is given by the FPV drone operator, based on the quantitative indicators of the EMF level displayed on the display, or on other indirect signs (for example, on the “noisiness” of the video image on the display screen), or on the maximum suitability of the underlying surface for landing the detachable module, etc.

[0047] Finally, another difference of the method according to the present invention is that the range of such a hybrid communication line is equal to the sum of the ranges of the fiber-optic and radio frequency communication lines included in it.

[0048] As is evident from the above, the method according to the present invention, when solving a relatively simple technical problem of separating a detachable module from an FPV drone on its trajectory, makes it possible to combine the advantages of prototypes, thereby significantly expanding the possibilities of using FPV drones.

[0049] This, in turn, allows us to consider the proposed method according to the present invention to be new in its technical implementation, since the existing level of technology does not contain sources of information containing information on all the features of the claimed method.

[0050] 8

[0051] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Despite the urgent need felt recently for a method that would allow solving the technical problem described above, especially for the use of FPV drones in military affairs, the existing level of technology has not identified any sources of information that would contain information on those features by which the method according to the present invention differs from the closest analogue, which allows the method according to the present invention to be considered as having an inventive step.

[0052] Brief description of the drawings

[0053] The present invention is explained by the accompanying drawings, where: Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a system in which the method according to the present invention is implemented;

[0054] Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of an algorithm for implementing a method for controlling an FPV drone according to the present invention.

[0055] Implementation of the invention

[0056] The proposed method according to the present invention is implemented in the system (Fig. 1) containing an on-board overview video camera 1 and controls 2 of the FPV drone connected to an on-board electro-optical transceiver 3, which is connected through an on-board reel of fiber optic cable 4 to an electro-optical transceiver 5 of a detachable module 8, where, in addition, a radio communication line transceiver 6 with its transceiver antenna, connected to the device 5, is located. In addition, a parachute-type suspension system 7 is located in the detachable module 8, which is activated when the module 8 is separated at the final section of the FPV drone trajectory in the event of its use in the "kamikaze" mode, and 9

[0057] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) also an autonomous power supply system 15, consisting of a battery and a unit for switching it on and off.

[0058] The exchange of information between the on-board devices of the FPV drone and the operator's control panel 14 is carried out via a radio line 9 through the operator's transceiver 10, connected to the operator's display 12 and control joysticks 13. In addition, an electromagnetic interference signal detector 11 is used, also connected to the operator's display 12.

[0059] The method for organizing the exchange of information between the FPV drone equipment and the operator according to the present invention is carried out using the system shown in Fig. 1 as follows.

[0060] The video signal from the on-board overview video camera 1 of the FPV drone in electrical form is fed to the electronic input of the on-board electro-optical transceiver 3 of the FPV drone, where it is converted into optical form and fed through the on-board reel of the fiber optic cable 4 to the electro-optical transceiver 5 of the detachable module 8.

[0061] Before detachable module 8 separates from the FPV drone, the optical signal is transmitted via a reeled fiber optic cable 4. After detachable module 8 separates from the FPV drone, the optical signal is transmitted via an unwinding fiber optic cable 4, depending on the mission—either to the maximum range, determined by the length of the fiber optic cable in reel 4, or to the remaining distance to the target at the final stage of the FPV drone's kamikaze trajectory.

[0062] The optical-electronic receiving and transmitting device 5 of the detachable module 8 converts the data received from the onboard electro-optical 10

[0063] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)receiving and transmitting device 3 optical signals into electrical form and transmits them to radio frequency receiving and transmitting device 6, which transmits them via radio communication line 9 to receiving and transmitting device 10 of operator console 14.

[0064] The radio signals received by the transceiver 10 of the operator console 14, containing information from the on-board video camera 1 of the FPV drone, after appropriate conversion, are transmitted to the operator display 12, which also displays information about the quantitative level of electromagnetic interference in the radio communication line 9. Constant monitoring of the level of electromagnetic interference is performed by the electromagnetic interference detector 11.

[0065] In this way, the operator receives video information from the on-board video camera 1 of the FPV drone, which allows him to view the situation in the FPV drone’s operating area in real time in order to control it.

[0066] The FPV drone is controlled in a similar manner, by transmitting control signals from the operator's control panel 14.

[0067] The control electrical signals from the control elements 13 (joysticks, toggle switches, buttons, etc.) are sent to the receiving and transmitting device 10 of the operator control panel 14, and then are transmitted via the radio communication line 9 to the receiving and transmitting device 6 of the detachable module 8, where, after being received at the electronic input of the optical-electronic receiving and transmitting device 5, they are converted into optical form for transmission along the reel of the fiber optic cable 4 in the opposite direction to the FPV drone.

[0068] 11

[0069] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)The optical control signals received by the electro-optical transmitting and receiving device 3 are converted into the form of control electrical signals and then sent to the servos and other control elements of the FPV drone 2.

[0070] In this case, an important feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is that the operator independently determines the moment of separation of the detachable module 8 from the FPV drone, focusing both on the quantitative indicators of the level of electromagnetic interference displayed on the display 12 from the interference detector 11, and on indirect signs, such as the “noisiness” of the image on the display screen, or the greatest suitability of the underlying surface for a smooth vertical landing of the FPV drone (in the case of using multi-rotor drones), or on the approximate distance to the target determined visually in the case of using the FPV drone in the “kamikaze” mode.

[0071] Another important feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is that it allows for two methods of separating the detachable module 8 from the FPV drone - by smooth vertical landing of the FPV drone followed by the unmanned separation of this module and takeoff of the FPV drone to continue performing the assigned task, and by the method of separating the detachable module 8 at the final section of the trajectory followed by parachuting in the case of using the FPV drone in the "kamikaze" mode.

[0072] Another important feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is that the mode of separation from the FPV drone of the detachable module 8 (parachute or non-parachute) is carried out 12

[0073] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) automatically - when module 8 separates on a combat course in flight, in the final section of the trajectory, the parachute system is activated due to the force of the oncoming air flow after separation, and during a smooth vertical landing of the FPV drone and separation of module 8 in the absence of an oncoming flow, the parachute does not open.

[0074] Experience with combat use of FPV drones as kamikaze drones has shown that when using a radio link to control the drone, in most cases, the jamming environment on the battlefield allows for satisfactory communication with the drone throughout its entire trajectory, with the exception of the final section, where the drone enters a zone of continuous, powerful radio interference from the electronic warfare equipment installed on the target and is completely blinded. Therefore, for the last 50-150 meters, the FPV drone flies virtually uncontrollably, making it impossible to accurately hit the target. A solution to this problem is to equip the FPV drone with an optical or other type of homing head, which will allow for automatic target acquisition and guide the kamikaze drone to physical contact.This approach is more complex in terms of technical implementation and more costly economically, since it requires the installation of additional equipment, complex homing algorithms, and additional computing power on board the FPV drone.

[0075] The proposed method, according to the present invention, allows this problem to be solved significantly more simply, without requiring additional complexity in the system and control algorithms. Thus, if the operator separates from the FPV drone under non-critical radio interference conditions, 13

[0076] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) of the detachable module 8 in parachute mode at a distance of 200 - 300 meters from the target of attack, then further control of the drone will be carried out via the fiber-optic communication line 4, which is not sensitive to electromagnetic interference, and while the detachable module 8 moves to the ground on the parachute suspension 7, the drone safely overcomes the near critical zone of continuous radio interference, being under the complete control of the operator.

[0077] An important distinguishing feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is that, having exhausted the maximum range of the radio communication line 9 and having found a suitable place for a smooth landing of the multi-rotor FPV drone, the operator, having separated the detachable module 8 from it and having carried out the takeoff of the drone, can continue to perform the combat mission using the unwinding fiber optic cable to its maximum range, determined by the capacity of the bot coil 4. Thus, the total range of the proposed hybrid system is significantly increased, and therefore the survivability of the operator's location in combat conditions.

[0078] Another important distinctive feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is that the hybrid communication line is organized according to the principle of continuously functioning sequentially connected fiber-optic and radio frequency communication channels in order to eliminate various types of switching of the above-mentioned communication channels when separating the detachable module from the FPV drone, which significantly increases the reliability of the hybrid communication line.

[0079] A distinctive feature of the proposed method according to the present invention is also that mode 14 is used

[0080] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) forced shutdown of the detachable module's transceivers, associated with the need to stop its radio emissions to prevent interference with the radio frequency communications of nearby friendly drones. However, in combat situations involving FPV drones, it may be necessary to create an additional radio emission point as a decoy to mislead the enemy, forcing them to expend additional ammunition to suppress this decoy. Furthermore, an active radio transmitter can create additional interference for enemy combat FPV drones. In this case, the radio emissions of the detachable module's transceivers do not cease and continue until the detachable module's battery is completely depleted. This, to some extent, expands the tactical capabilities of combat FPV drones with the proposed hybrid communication link.

[0081] Currently, there are reports that foreign fiber-optic FPV drones have a range of up to 40 km, compared to 15 km for our own. While domestic fiber optic developers are trying to catch up with their foreign counterparts in developing and producing fiber optic cables with the required strength, weight, and size characteristics, which is a very slow process, a technological lag on the battlefield is fraught with unacceptable losses of personnel and combat equipment, which cannot be allowed. The proposed method for increasing range using a hybrid communication line and well-established technologies allows us to quickly compensate for this lag and achieve an acceptable range (20-25 km).

[0083] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26)radio line + 15 km via fiber-optic communication line), which is comparable with foreign analogues.

[0084] Fig. 2 is a flow chart of the algorithm according to which the method of the present invention is carried out.

[0085] The method illustrated in Fig. 2 begins at step 11, in which the FPV drone operator carries out pre-launch preparation and activation of the hybrid control system equipment.

[0086] Step 12 determines the serviceability of the hybrid communication link and the transmission of video data and control commands. Obviously, if a malfunction occurs, the method ends. If the hybrid communication link is serviceable and video data and control commands are transmitted normally, the method proceeds to step 13, where the operator launches the FPV drone and moves it along its trajectory.

[0087] At step 14, the operator monitors the level of electromagnetic interference in the radio communication line, based on quantitative data from the electromagnetic interference detector (pos. 11, Fig. 1), which is displayed on the display (pos. 12, Fig. 1), the operator’s control panel (pos. 14, Fig. 1), or on indirect data, such as, for example, the level of “noise” on the display screen, or on reconnaissance data on the general interference situation in the area of ​​the FPV drone’s trajectory, etc.

[0088] If the electromagnetic interference level exceeds the Specified Standards, the method proceeds to step 15, where the operator searches for a suitable landing site for the multi-rotor FPV drone and performs a soft landing.

[0089] 16

[0090] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) At step 16, the detachable module (pos. 8, Fig. 1) is separated from the FPV drone.

[0091] In step 17, the operator takes off the multi-rotor FPV drone and continues its movement along the trajectory while unwinding the on-board fiber optic cable spool.

[0092] In step 18, the operator searches for the target and approaches it, and in step 19, the assigned task is completed, which includes the ability to save the FPV drone.

[0093] At step 20, the operator decides whether to turn off or not turn off the power supply system (pos. 15, Fig. 1) of the detachable module, depending on the tactical plan.

[0094] If at step 14 it is determined that the interference environment is within the specified standardized criteria, then the method proceeds to step 21, where the operator makes a decision to continue the non-stop movement of the FPV drone along the trajectory.

[0095] In step 22, the operator, approaching the task execution zone, identifies the target and begins approaching it.

[0096] In step 23, the operator decides to switch the FPV drone to "kamikaze" mode, separating the detachable module (item 8, Fig. 1) from the FPV drone via parachute. If this decision is not made, the process proceeds to step 19.

[0097] If the operator decides to use the FPV drone in "kamikaze" mode, the method according to the present invention proceeds to step 24, where the detachable module (pos. 8, Fig. 1) is separated from the FPV drone and parachuted. The method then proceeds to step 25, where the FPV guidance is performed during the parachuting process.

[0098] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) drone to the target, with the onboard fiber optic cable spool unwinding. Guidance is thus achieved in a controlled manner, eliminating the effects of particularly powerful radio interference generated by electronic warfare equipment installed on the target. Guidance is maintained until the FPV drone makes physical contact with the target in "kamikaze" mode, after which the method proceeds to step 20.

[0099] Industrial applicability

[0100] The present invention can be used in control systems for FPV drones of various types, both ground-based and capable of performing smooth vertical landing of UAVs with multi-rotor designs, operating in conditions of intense electromagnetic interference, both natural and artificial.

[0101] The present invention is particularly useful for military applications to overcome the range of enemy electronic warfare equipment by both reconnaissance drones and kamikaze drones, as well as to move FPV drone operators away from the line of combat contact to increase their level of protection.

[0102] The present invention is industrially applicable, since its implementation utilizes standard fiber-optic and radio-frequency communication line devices, requiring a simple addition in the form of their coupling and the development of a design for a detachable module with a parachute system based on existing technical solutions.
