A workflow based multi-UAV cooperation architecture

Cooperation combat of multi-UAV could improve the combat effectiveness and survivability. Cooperation architecture is the base of cooperation. To overcome shortcomings of the existing cooperation architectures, the workflow-based multi-UAV cooperation combat architecture is proposed. Performances of the proposed new architecture are analyzed and verified. Experimental results show that, in the given scenarios, cooperation time consuming and data amount are low and stable, which means that the new architecture is feasible and could be applied to multi-UAV cooperation combat.
