Research on Multi-type UAV Cooperative Reconnaissance Operation

(Purpose) The purpose of this paper is to improve the effectiveness of UAV reconnaissance operation by analyzing the formation cooperative operation composed of multi-function UAV. (Methods) In the process of writing this paper, the reconnaissance capability of single UAV and the cooperative reconnaissance capability of multi-function UAV are compared and analyzed. The conclusion is that single UAV’s payload is limited, and multi-function UAV can make up for its reconnaissance payload defect. (Results) Based on the research in this paper, the characteristics and operational application of multi-function UAV cooperative reconnaissance were analyzed, and the development trend of UAV cooperative reconnaissance in the future was summarized. (Conclusion) Theoretical research proves that multi-type UAV cooperative reconnaissance can make up for the disadvantages of single UAV reconnaissance, improve the effectiveness of UAV reconnaissance, and provide certain theoretical support for future UAV combat.
