Analysis of Heterogeneous Cooperative Unmanned System with System Engineering

The collaborative application of heterogeneous unmanned systems is one of the key development directions in the unmanned battlefield and civil field in the future. However, it involves multiple different platform types, huge scale, and complex interdisciplinary issues, and there is still a certain distance from large-scale applications. This paper uses the system engineering method to analyze the process of collaborative application of heterogeneous unmanned systems and sort out some directions of future development and some key technologies that need to be breakthrough. The process is divided into four parts: demand acquisition, demand analysis, architecture analysis, and platform design. The system engineering method is suitable for the design and analysis of complex systems and conforms to the characteristics of unmanned systems. It can effectively reduce repeated iterations in the design and development process of heterogeneous unmanned system collaborative applications, and improve inheritance.
