无人机集群是现代军事行动最重要的发展趋势之一。预计在不久的将来，现代国家将在几乎所有操作环境中使用无人机群。集群的整体结构具有开放性、自组织性、自形成性和节能友好性，使其适合战场，迫切需要对其进行定义。本文提出了一种用于战场无人机群的SDN和MQTT混合结构，该结构具有灵活、适应性强、智能、拓扑、带宽和有效载荷可控等特点。该结构能够适应集群编队的频繁变化，支持有效载荷之间灵活的数据传输，提高战场集群安全性。此外，我们提出了一种基于 QoS 的多路径路由框架，该框架计算从源到目的地的多条不相交的路径，以提高网络性能。列出并分析案例研究以验证结构。
The UAV swarm is one of the most important developing trends in modern military operations. It is anticipated that in the near future, modern countries will embrace the use of UAV swarms across nearly every operating environment. The overall structure of a swarm, which is open, self-organizing, self-forming, and power saving friendly, makes it suitable for the battlefield, and it urgently needs to be defined. This article proposes an SDN and MQTT hybrid structure for battlefield UAV swarms, which is flexible, adaptable, intelligent, and controllable for topology, bandwidth, and payloads. The structure can adapt to the frequent change of swarm formation, support flexible data transmission among payloads, and improve swarm security in the battlefield. Furthermore, we propose a QoS-based multi-path routing framework, which calculates multiple disjointed paths from sources to destinations in order to enhance network performance. Case studies are listed and analyzed to validate the structure.
