The invention discloses a data-driven unmanned aerial vehicle cluster digital twin network binding routing method. According to the method, a tight coupling dependency relationship between data transmission and link control is relieved, and a management plane-control plane-data plane decoupling unmanned aerial vehicle cluster network architecture is constructed. The management plane decides a link weight with the help of a depth deterministic strategy gradient learning method by taking minimization of time delay and packet loss probability as optimization targets. And the control plane formulates a forwarding strategy according to the Floyd shortest path algorithm and the weighted topological graph and issues the forwarding strategy to the data plane. And the unmanned aerial vehicle nodes in the data plane concentrate on data forwarding to realize execution of binding routing. A simulation result shows that the link weight is adaptively adjusted by adopting the method, and compared with a traditional routing algorithm with a fixed link weight, the average end-to-end time delay and the packet loss rate can be effectively reduced, and the network service quality is improved.
