Abstract

Uumanned aerial vehicle(UAV) systems have been used in various fields including industry and military. According to increasing the number of UAVs, the attention on interoperable UAV systems is increasing. In this paper, we propose the practical design of datalink in interoperable UAV systems. For practical design, we firstly review the operational scenarios in the interoperable UAV system. We then propose the system model of the datalink in interoperable UAV system. Consequently, the technical components such as the design of the network, the link management, the support of the multicast transmission, the support for autonomous mission and flight safety, and the datalink security are derived and reviewed for the practical design.
