Unmanned Air Vehicles Launching Aircraft Combat System and Key Technologies for Penetrating Counterair

doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.21-0403

Abstract

Abstract:

Penetrating counterair is an important countermeasure to the anti-access/area denial environment. Under this operational requirement, the unmanned air vehicles launching aircraft (UAVLA)has received much attention due to the advantages of load quantity and variety, operational range and duration, and development time and cost. Based on the review of the concept development and supporting research related to the UAVLA, the top-level concepts of operations such as the component systems,operational process, operational events tracking, and information interaction of the UAVLA combat system (UAVLACS) are designed. The key technologies of the system are prospected from four aspects:intelligent cognition of battlefield situation under complex environment, trusted and reliable long-range resilient communication, multi-UAVs bionic autonomous decision making and coordination, and universal UAVs launch control in the cargo bay, to promote the development of UAVLACS and technology reserve,and provide a theoretical basis and modeling framework for the simulation and evaluation of UAVLACS operation process and functions.

Key words: penetrating counterair, unmanned air vehicles launching aircraft (UAVLA), combat system, anti-access/area denial, concept of operation
