Abstract:Aiming at the requirements of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) controlling multiple UAVs working in clusters, it was proposed to combine the Ka-band high-throughput satellite technology with the TD-LTE protocol zone networking technology to build a “1+N” architecture of UAV-borne telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) system. Through the introduction of the scheme, the design ideas, scheme selections and physical design results of modules such as satellites, networking, and payloads were explained, and the characteristics of the core units were clarified. The key technologies such as heterogeneous network communication, smooth low-latency transmission, source encryption were expanded. The link budget, bandwidth delay test, and flight test were completed. The results showed that either direction TT&C between any terminals in the system was robustness and the design was reasonable and feasible. Compared with satellite and networking single-mode communication modes, the system had obvious advantages in long-range cluster measurement and controlling, task coordination, on-site maneuvering and cost. It provided practice reference for the subsequent construction of aerospace integrated multi-platform support communication system.
