本發明係有關於一種可攜式模組化小型無人載具之多機導控系統及其操控方法,尤指一種可對大、中、小型無人載具做多機導控,其地面站具有微小、易於攜帶、高機動性、低成本和難以被偵測之特性等優點,可提供地面部隊,海軍陸戰隊及陸軍連級執行偵蒐、監察及目獲等任務。The invention relates to a multi-machine guidance and control system for a portable modular small unmanned vehicle and a control method thereof, in particular to a multi-machine guidance and control for large, medium and small unmanned vehicles, and the ground station thereof has Small, easy to carry, highly maneuverable, low-cost and difficult to detect features, the ground forces, the Marine Corps and the Army can perform reconnaissance, surveillance and sighting tasks.
由於無人飛行載具(unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV)應用範圍越來越廣泛,無論應用於軍事、氣候偵測、地理探險、環保監控、通訊中繼平台等方面,尤其許多具高度危險性的任務已由無人飛行載具UAV取代人類來執行,它的優點是造價低廉,沒有人員危險的顧慮,所以無人飛行載具UAV的重要性無可取代。無人飛行載具之外形的設計必須由任務的需求決定,本發明採用Mini-UAV,其搭載0.4公斤左右的電池、攝影機與航電設備,並具有最大巡航速度65km/hr和滯空時間52分鐘以上,做為多機導控的實驗平台。Due to the wider application range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it is used in military, climate detection, geographic exploration, environmental monitoring, communication relay platforms, etc., especially for many high-risk tasks. It is carried out by replacing the human being with the unmanned aerial vehicle UAV. Its advantage is that it is inexpensive and has no danger of personnel danger, so the importance of unmanned aerial vehicle UAV is irreplaceable. The design of the unmanned aerial vehicle must be determined by the requirements of the mission. The present invention uses a Mini-UAV equipped with a battery of about 0.4 kg, a camera and avionics, and has a maximum cruising speed of 65 km/hr and a dead time of 52 minutes. Above, as an experimental platform for multi-machine guidance and control.
以往任務型態大多屬於單一任務型態,只需一站一機(如圖一所示),執行任務時,只需要一地面導控站(ground control station,GCS)與一架UAV進行雙向通訊及下達任務命令。其一站一機之任務執行方式,是先由外部駕駛員(external pilot,EP),將無人飛行載具UAV安全飛至天空後,EP就可把無人飛行載具UAV操控權切換給內部駕駛員(internal pilot,IP),讓內部駕駛員(IP)操控及執行任務。一般來說,地面導控站GCS普遍的任務及功能如圖二,它收到無人飛行載具UAV下鏈資料後,接著進行資料解碼、畫面顯示、資料儲存、語音警示及下達控制命令等環節即可完成。近年來無人飛行載具UAV發展迅速,已出現任務範圍擴大,任務型態已有任務交替及編隊任務等之需求,在任務時間有限情況下,傳統一站一機的GCS架構如圖三所示,其所使用的單環解碼架構(single loop process,SLP)內部為單一執行緒(threaded)設計,功能架構如前述,已無法滿足任務需求。In the past, most of the mission types belonged to a single mission type, which only required one station and one aircraft (as shown in Figure 1). When performing tasks, only one ground control station (GCS) needed to communicate with one UAV in two directions. And release the task command. Its one-stop-one mission execution mode is to first transfer the unmanned aerial vehicle UAV control to the internal driving after the unmanned aerial vehicle UAV is safely flying to the sky by an external pilot (EP). Internal pilot (IP) allows the internal driver (IP) to control and perform tasks. In general, the general mission and function of the ground guidance station GCS is shown in Figure 2. After receiving the unmanned flight vehicle UAV downlink data, it then performs data decoding, screen display, data storage, voice warning and release control commands. It can be done. In recent years, UAVs for unmanned aerial vehicles have developed rapidly. The scope of tasks has expanded, and the task types have been replaced by tasks and formation tasks. In the case of limited mission time, the GCS architecture of the traditional one-stop and one-machine is shown in Figure 3. The single loop process (SLP) used in the design is a single threaded design, and the functional architecture is as described above, which cannot meet the task requirements.

It can be used to introduce the unmanned aerial vehicle UAV switch in the ground station interface box (GSIB), so that the external driver EP can control different unmanned aerial vehicles UAV in the manual mode. The GCS of the present invention refers to the concept of the Multi-Control of UAVs Ground Station of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and hopes to achieve the GCS architecture of one station and multiple machines. When performing a mission, only one ground control station can perform two-way communication and release task commands for two or more unmanned aerial vehicles UAV at the same time. For this reason, the present invention proposes a multi-ring decoding architecture (multiple Loop process (MLP), which solves this problem by using a relative registration UAV with multiple tasks and function assignments.

In the future, the three vehicles can be integrated into a complete management system, as shown in Figure 9.
2.3軟體架構架 (Software framework) 2.3 software framework (Software framework)
由於多機導控時,會有新機註冊與舊機失聯(通訊斷訊)之事件,所以註冊與解碼機制規劃就相當重要。該地面導控軟體於多個任務及功能分配之相對註冊UAV機制步驟說明如下,請參考圖六:Due to the multi-machine guidance and control, there will be events of new machine registration and old machine loss (communication disconnection), so the registration and decoding mechanism planning is very important. The steps of the relative registration UAV mechanism of the ground guidance software in multiple tasks and function assignments are described below. Please refer to Figure 6:
步驟1:通訊程序持續接收該無線電訊號傳輸模組傳來的數據資料,並將完整的數據資料進行標頭核對及檢查碼驗證。Step 1: The communication program continuously receives the data data transmitted by the radio signal transmission module, and performs complete header verification and check code verification on the complete data.
步驟2:判斷該段數據資料之標頭身份數據資料(ID),是否有認證過該無人載具,且可以接收該無人載具之ID,當認證成功時,把該段數據資料交給該多環解碼架構(MLP)做處理,當驗證成功時,跳至步驟5;當驗證失敗,程序至步驟3進行該無人載具與該地面導控站電腦驗證程序。Step 2: judging whether the header identity data (ID) of the piece of data data has been authenticated by the unmanned vehicle, and can receive the ID of the unmanned vehicle. When the authentication is successful, the data is given to the data. The multi-ring decoding architecture (MLP) performs processing. When the verification is successful, the process jumps to step 5; when the verification fails, the program proceeds to step 3 to perform the computer verification procedure of the unmanned vehicle and the ground control station.
步驟3:驗證程序,係該地面導控站電腦傳送一驗證訊息給該無人載具,當該無人載具收到該驗證訊息,且處於可對該地面導控站電腦通訊,將會回復一正確訊息給該地面導控站電腦,以供判斷,如驗證程序失敗,地面導控站電腦會捨棄該段數據資料,並跳至第6步驟。Step 3: The verification procedure is that the ground control station computer transmits a verification message to the unmanned vehicle. When the unmanned vehicle receives the verification message and is in communication with the ground control station, it will reply one. The correct message is given to the ground control station computer for judgment. If the verification procedure fails, the ground guidance station computer will discard the data and skip to step 6.
步驟4:對該MLP系統註冊一個SLP(單環解碼架構)。Step 4: Register an SLP (Single Ring Decoding Architecture) for the MLP system.
步驟5:該MLP將該數據資料交給相對應的該SLP做資料處理。Step 5: The MLP delivers the data to the corresponding SLP for data processing.
步驟6:檢查系統所有該無人載具,是否已有一段時間沒收過其下鏈數據資料;當所有該無人載具皆正常通訊與工作,回至步驟1持續執行該程序。Step 6: Check all the unmanned vehicles in the system, whether the data has been confiscated for some time; when all the unmanned vehicles are communicating and working normally, go back to step 1 and continue the program.
步驟7:對一內部導控人員(IP)警示該無人載具失聯,提示導控人員對系統做出正確之因應,最後回到步驟1持續執行該程序。Step 7: Alert an internal pilot (IP) to the unmanned vehicle, prompt the pilot to make a correct response to the system, and finally return to step 1 to continue the program.
