Research on a novel laser multi beam system powered unmanned aerial vehicle cluster scheme
Due to the limited number of tasks performed by a single drone and the overall low efficiency,the drone cluster movement has received increasing attention for its good stability,diverse task execution,easy operation,and ease of control.In the laser powered drone cluster,a new type of laser multi-beam energy-supply system based on the optical phased array technology is proposed in response to the problems that the on-board energy of the drone UAV limits the range and duration of the mission,and that the traditional energy-supply method can only fulfil one-to-one energy supply resulting in low ener-gy-supply efficiency.The system includes an overall laser wireless energy transmission scheme,the overall workflow of the system,the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster formation control based on the navigation following method.The scheme can a-chieve the one-to-many self-regulating energy supply to meet the energy demand of the entire unmanned aerial vehicle clus-ter,improve the energy transmission distance and efficiency,and accurately reach the preset energy supply area through the algorithm control of the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster.It is informative for future areas and modalities of laser wireless energy transfer applications.
