Abstract
Communication technology has evolved into quantum communication with improved security and speed by utilizing quantum information technology. However, it is difficult to use it in special situations such as rugged mountainous terrain and the state of war. In order to configure a wireless quantum communication environment in an environment where it is difficult to utilize wired quantum communication, a plan to effectively utilize quantum repeater is needed. In this paper, we discuss how to utilize quantum repeater platform using drones and the considerations of drone for effective quantum communication. Finally, we propose double-layer-based drone prototype model for quantum repeater platforms. The proposed model enables secure quantum communication in rugged terrain. This research will actually produce drones and conduct quantum communication using quantum repeater platforms in the future.
