Abstract

The manned/unmanned aerial vehicle (MAV/UAV) cooperative combat is a new type of air combat mode which has excellent potential for war application. It is highly valued by the military powers in the world. The study of critical technologies for MAV/UAV cooperative combat is vital for forming a new and efficient air combat system. This paper mainly studies the key technologies in three parts: application, architecture, and main process. Firstly, the application background and advantages are described in detail. Secondly, the architecture is analyzed, and the process and indicators that should be followed in the design of MAV/UAV are clarified. Finally, the main process is combed from three aspects of decision allocation, task allocation, and formation control, and the relationship between each part is summarized, and the future development direction is prospected.
