Abstract

Aiming at the problems that the cost and technical difficulty of UAV swarm flight test are both high, a HIL simulation system is proposed to simulate and test the function and performance of UAV swarm, so as to improve the reliability of swarm system. On the basis of single UAV HIL simulation system, combined with the characteristics and combat mode of UAV swarms, a HIL simulation system of UAV swarm is developed independently. With the 6-DOF model of UAV, the motion characteristics of each UAV in swarm can be fully verified. In the HIL simulation system, the flight control computer, mission control computer and swarm control ground station are all the real objects, and the engineering flight control software and cooperative control software are used. It can simulate the whole flight process of UAV swarm and verify the flight control performance of UAV swarm and all flight logic of the system. The system adopts modular design and is widely generalized. It can provide an efficient, economic and effective platform for the design, development, test and use of UAV swarm.
