Conception of Foreign Heterogeneous Electronic Warfare UAV Cross Domain Cooperative Operations

Heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as an important means of implementing Decision Centeric Warfare, will become an important factor influencing the trend of future warfare. Starting from the concept of UAV swarm operations, the operational requirements and characteristics of heterogeneous electronic warfare UAVs are analyzed. New combat styles such as heterogeneous UAV swarm battlefield electromagnetic situation ubiquitous reconnaissance, systematic collaborative battlefield network fragmentation, and distributed collaborative strike are studied. Based on the new trend of UAV swarm cross domain cooperation, three typical operational concepts for UAV swarm to perform air to air cooperative maritime reconnaissance, air to ground cooperative ground penetration, and air to sea cooperative joint strike are proposed, providing reference for the technical development and operational application of heterogeneous UAV swarms.
