Research on Typical Operation Modes and Key Technologies of Foreign UAV-Based Air to Air Striking

Abstract

UAVs are playing an increasingly important role in modern warfare. This paper analyzes the research progress, typical operation modes and key technologies of foreign UAV used in modern air to air striking. Analyzed the current technological development status of UAVs used in air striking operations abroad, and combined with the current development status of UAV equipment abroad, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of direct application of UAVs in air striking operations. Based on the performance characteristics of typical foreign UAV platforms, three potential typical application styles for UAV participation in air to air strike operations are proposed. In response to the practical needs of UAVs for air to air striking operations, this paper analyzes the key supporting technologies for the application of UAVs in future air to air striking.
