Defense Strategy for Suicide Unmanned Surface Vessels Based on Sea and Air Unmanned Clusters
The recent use of unmanned surface vessels(USVs)in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has received much attention.To prevent the attacks of suicide USVs,the idea of using unmanned platforms to counter USVs was followed,and a new concept of preventing the attacks of suicide USVs by using low-cost platforms such as USVs and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)featuring"collaborative enabling,autonomous control,and agile response"was proposed.Multiple lightweight USVs,UAVs,and unmanned platforms with simple interaction and autonomous decision-making capabilities were used.By analyzing the capabilities of typical suicide USVs,key technologies such as sea and air collaborative task assignment and planning and cross-platform collaborative reconnaissance and positioning were studied,so as to build a new unmanned reconnaissance and defense system.This system not only ensured all-weather and quasi-real-time coverage of key defense areas but also achieved agile confirmation and immediate response to invading suspicious targets.Furthermore,it expanded the defense depth of high-value targets and established multiple layers of defense against the attacks of suicide USVs in clusters.
