Distributed Storage Methods for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Clusters in Battlefield
Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)are important weapons and equipment for military powers in the world to carry out tactical operations.Applying UAVs in the battlefield to achieve data storage is an important way to ensure the operation.In order to better meet the data storage requirements of UAV clusters under harsh battlefield conditions,the military application background of UAV data storage was analyzed,and the data resources characteristics of UAVs in the battlefield and military requirements of data storage technologies were summarized.The design process of data storage method suitable for tactical operations of UAVs from Chinese armed forces was put forward.Then,on the basis of the achievements of data storage in the field of academia and industry,the classification and development process of data storage technologies were reviewed,and the main types of data storage were summarized.The key technologies and storage systems of distributed data storage for tactical operations of UAV clusters were presented.Moreover,the research status of the algorithm models of distributed mass data storage and processing,real-time data transmission,and data reliability in China and abroad was introduced.The research direction for the data application method of UAVs in tactical operations was proposed,and it was pointed out that data storage of UAV clusters in battlefields is an important research field in the future.
