Key Technologies for Heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Swarm Cross-Domain Collaborative Operations

The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Nagorno Karabakh war show that the unmanned combat force represented by UAVs has become an important part of the joint combat force system, playing an increasingly prominent role as an efficiency multiplier. In recent years, military powers such as the United States and Britain have taken cross domain collaboration as an important development direction for unmanned aerial vehicle swarm warfare. Section 1 analyzes the main characteristics of using drone swarms to perform tasks. Section 2 analyzes the latest progress of drone swarm projects at research institutions such as DARPA and Dassault Aircraft in France. Section 3 studies the key technologies to achieve cross domain application of heterogeneous UAV swarms, mainly including the overall swarm command and control architecture design, UAV swarm combat support system, swarm collaborative planning technology, and so on. The research provides key technical support for suppressing, jamming, and attacking the enemy's modern air defense early warning system using heterogeneous drone swarms.
