Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of a simultaneous operation system of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram showing a simultaneous operation system of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this, the simultaneous operation system of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present invention controls the take-off and landing of the first unmanned aerial vehicle (1), the launch control equipment 10 for operating the reconnaissance mission of the first unmanned aerial vehicle (1). Wow; Ground control equipment (20) for controlling the take-off and landing of the second unmanned reconnaissance machine (2) and operating the reconnaissance mission of the second unmanned reconnaissance machine (2); A ground signal for selectively receiving a frequency signal from the launch control device 10 or the ground control device 20 to operate the reconnaissance mission of the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 to a remote area. Relay equipment 30 is included.

In the present embodiment, the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 serve to control the takeoff and landing of the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 and to perform a reconnaissance mission. do.

The first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 and the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 are to be taken off using a runway by the launch control equipment 10 or the ground control equipment 20. At this time, in the region without the runway is to take off through a separate launch equipment (not shown). The first and second unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (1, 2) launched as described above perform a maneuver and reconnaissance mission to the operation area and transmit the obtained real-time video information. In addition, the first and second unmanned reconnaissance planes 1 and 2 that have completed the reconnaissance mission will land through the runway. At this time, in the area where there is no runway, it will land through Nahasan.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the two unmanned reconnaissance planes can be simultaneously operated by the launch control device 10 and the ground control device 20, there is an advantage of simultaneously reconnaissing two operational areas. For example, you can simultaneously scout an 80 km radius of operation and another 80 km of rear area. In addition, if there are two targets to be monitored in real time in the same area, there is an advantage that can be monitored at the same time divided into each.

On the other hand, the ground control equipment 20 operates the reconnaissance mission of the second unmanned reconnaissance machine (2) via the ground tracking equipment 25 capable of communication. The ground tracking equipment 25 is a device that can directly communicate with the ground control equipment 20, the ground control equipment 20 is substantially responsible for the takeoff and landing and reconnaissance mission of the second unmanned reconnaissance machine (2), It serves to transmit the frequency signal from the ground tracking equipment 25 to the second unmanned aerial vehicle 2. Of course, only the ground control equipment 20 may be configured to operate the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2.

In the present embodiment, the launch control equipment 10 operates the unmanned aerial vehicle within the operational radius of about 30 km, and the ground control equipment 20 operates the unmanned aerial vehicle within the operational radius of about 80 km through the ground tracking equipment 25. This is possible. Of course, the above operation radius is merely an example and may be changed according to the performance of the equipment.

The ground relay equipment 30 is selectively connected to the launch control equipment 10 or the ground control equipment 20 as described above. The ground relay equipment 30 is arranged to operate at the point where the radio wave line within about 30km with the launch control equipment 10 or the ground control equipment 20 is secured.

For example, when reconnaissance the operation area within about 30km with the launch control equipment 10, when it is necessary to scout the remote area, it transmits a separate frequency signal to the ground relay equipment (30). Then, the operation of the first unmanned reconnaissance apparatus 1 is possible through the ground relay equipment 30. At this time, since the ground relay equipment 30 is capable of operating the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft up to an operation radius of about 80 km, the launch control equipment 10 may be capable of operating the unmanned reconnaissance apparatus of a remote area up to an operation radius of about 110 km. have. Of course, the operation radius of the ground repeating equipment 30 described herein may also be changed according to the performance of the equipment.

The frequency signals transmitted from the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 to the first and second unmanned aerial vehicles 1 and 2 are different from each other. In addition, in the step of transferring control, the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 controlled by the other party is changed.

On the other hand, the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 does not only operate the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or the second unmanned reconnaissance machine (2), the control of the other side of the unmanned reconnaissance machine It can be operated. In other words, the launch control device 10 may operate the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 and transfer control of the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 from the ground control equipment 20 through a frequency change. On the contrary, the ground control equipment 20 may receive the control right from the launch control equipment 10 and operate the first unmanned aerial vehicle 1.

As described above, in the present invention, since the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 can transfer control by changing the frequency, the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 is alternately replaced.

On the other hand, the launch control equipment 10, the ground control equipment 20 and the ground tracking device 25 of the present embodiment may be ubiquitous in a single base, divided into a main base / reserve base may be ubiquitous. For example, the launch control equipment 10 is ubiquitous in the main base, and the ground control equipment 20 and the ground tracking device 25 may be ubiquitous as a reserve base.

Hereinafter, the simultaneous operation method of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail.

First, referring to FIG. 1, the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 respectively install external controllers and perform takeoff or takeoff using a slide takeoff or a launch pad using different frequencies. At this time, the first and second unmanned reconnaissors (1, 2) respectively operated by the launch control equipment (10) and the ground control equipment (20) maneuver into the operation area to perform the reconnaissance mission and obtain the obtained real-time video information. After transmitting to the altar, when the flight time is over or the mission is completed, the landing and parachute landing is carried out using an external controller installed in the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20.

In the simultaneous operation of the first and second unmanned aerial vehicles 1 and 2, the ground relay equipment 30 is disposed at the point where the radio wave line is secured, and the launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 are grounded. It is possible to perform the reconnaissance mission of the operation area up to 110km through the relay equipment (30).

The launch control equipment 10 and the ground control equipment 20 are operated unmanned reconnaissance planes in a single omnipresent state or divided into main / preliminary bases.

Next, we will look at other methods of simultaneous operation of UAVs in the control transfer process.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 slides off or launches off from the launch control equipment 10 (S11). Subsequently, the control control is handed over to the ground control equipment 20 from the launch control equipment 10 by the control right transfer procedure (S12). Then, the first unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is operated by the ground control equipment 20.

Next, the launch control equipment 10 changes the frequency to a second unmanned aerial vehicle 2 having a different frequency from the first unmanned aerial vehicle 1 to prepare for the replacement of the first unmanned aerial vehicle 1.

In this case, since the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 is performing a reconnaissance mission in a maximum area of 80 km, the launch control equipment 10 should expand the operation radius by using the ground relay equipment 30, and the ground relay equipment 30 is The launch control equipment 10 and the radio wave line is secured and disposed at a point within 30km (S40). The launch control equipment 10 whose operation radius has been extended by the operation of the ground relay equipment 30 operates and controls the second unmanned reconnaissance machine 2 to a high degree separated from the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1. Receive the reconnaissance mission of 1) (S50).

The ground control equipment 20 taking over the reconnaissance mission returns the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 to the point where the ground control equipment 20 is disposed and lands (S60). When the landing of the first unmanned aerial vehicle 1 is completed, the ground control equipment 20 is changed to the same frequency as that of the second unmanned aerial vehicle 2 and the second unmanned aerial vehicle 2 controlled by the launch control equipment 10 is provided. Control is transferred to (S70).

At this time, the launch control equipment 10 is changed to the same frequency as the first unmanned reconnaissance machine (1) or other unmanned reconnaissance equipment to prepare for the replacement of the second unmanned reconnaissance (2). That is, the launch control equipment 10 is prepared to take off the first unmanned reconnaissance machine 1 or another unmanned reconnaissance aircraft (S80).

In this way, if the reconnaissance mission is possible through the replacement of the first and second unmanned reconnaissance planes (1,2) by using the transfer of control, reconnaissance and video continuously without any space for the time taken for retaken after landing when operating as one. Conservatives have the advantage of being possible.
