The Requirements of Commanders on Ground Control Station of Heterogenous Swarm Robotic Systems
摘要
The quick orientation of commanders on the battlefield is an essential factor for making effective decisions about the activities of a subordinate unit. Autonomous robotic systems such as information sensors can now be used to support commander decisions. These systems can be deployed in hazardous areas. The flexibility of the equipment and the deployment thereof on the battlefield enables long-term monitoring of an area of interest with a variable occurrence of threats. The tactical-geographical information displayed by the Ground Control Station, together with the control functionality, enables planning, control and correction of the operation of robotic systems, as well as improves the orientation of commanders on the battlefield. A swarm of ground and aerial robotic systems can therefore be an effective tool for surveying a fragmented or built-up area, which, under the control of a control station, can provide information about a large area using various sensors from different directions and heights. Due to the cooperation of ground and air reconnaissance systems, commanders gain a multifunctional reconnaissance tool that can flexibly conduct reconnaissance in various environments and tactical situations.
