本文描述了一系列超视距无人机的概念验证，这些飞行在危地马拉的富埃戈火山上空达到了 9 公里的航程和高于平均海平面 4,410 米的高度，在各种不同的条件下多次与火山羽流相互作用。富埃戈火山是一座活火山，定期喷出气体和火山灰，导致 50 公里外国际机场运营的航空公司受到干扰，并影响当地居民的生活。从羽流中收集数据可以加深科学家对火山喷发物成分的理解，对科学家、航空和灾害管理团体等都有用。本文介绍了携带多种传感器的多架飞机多次羽流拦截的初步结果。引入了羽流检测指标，该指标结合飞行数据和大气传感器数据来识别穿过火山羽流的飞行。未来的工作将开发羽流跟踪的自动化，以便能够以可靠的方式收集可靠的科学数据集。
This paper describes a series of proof‐of‐concept Beyond Visual Line Of Sight unmanned aerial vehicle flights which reached a range of up to 9 km and an altitude of 4,410 m Above Mean Sea Level over Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala, interacting with the volcanic plume on multiple occasions across a range of different conditions. Volcán de Fuego is an active volcano which emits gas and ash regularly, causing disruption to airlines operating from the international airport 50 km away and impacting the lives of the local population. Collection of data from within the plume develops scientists’ understanding of the composition of the volcano's output and is of use to scientists, aviation, and hazard management groups alike. This paper presents preliminary results of multiple plume interceptions with multiple aircraft, carrying a variety of sensors. A plume‐detection metric is introduced, which uses a combination of flight data and atmospheric sensor data to identify flight through a volcanic plume. Future work will develop the automation of plume tracking such that reliable scientific data sets can be gathered in a robust manner.
