Design of Ocean Wide Area Communication System Based on Shipborne Drones
The rapid development of unmanned systems has promoted the rapid updating and iteration of ocean observation technology.The ocean wide area communication systems are needed to ensure various unmanned systems ocean observation information in the research of multi-scale dynamic processes of ocean.The batch deployment of unmanned systems is a new ocean observation method for studying of multi-scale dynamic processes of ocean,using the mother ship as the carrier platform and onboard unmanned aerial vehicles as communi-cation relays.The solution is designed which is based on the communication requirements of the mother ship,UAV and unmanned surface vessel(USV).A 1 400 MHz+800 MHz AB network maritime communication system was designed,enabling direct communication be-tween USV and the mother ship,wide area communication with UAV as communication relays,and air relay solutions.This ensures the transmission of data regarding the unmanned boat's structure,video footage,and operational data.This scheme meet the demands of batch deployment of unmanned systems,which has the characteristics of wide area,self-organized network,and high reliability.
