Application and Key Technology Analysis of Small and Medium-Sized ISR UAVs in the Field of Maritime

Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is one of the significant means of maritime and aviation reconnaissance, is recognized as the main reconnaissance force to obtain information control and air control in the future sea battlefield. By combing the models and attribute characteristics of foreign small and medium-sized UAVs on the sea, this paper studies the application mode and application advantages of small and medium-sized ISR UAVs in the sea battlefield, and discusses their problems faced by the application, then analyzes the key technologies, such as launch and recovery, autonomous control, mission load, communication link, platform design, finally looks forward to their development trend. This paper provides reference and ideas for the popularization, application and planning development of small and medium-sized ISR UAVs in the field of maritime.
