本文介绍了多架自主固定翼无人驾驶飞机在超级单体雷暴中的设计和现场部署结果。作为2019年春季实地活动的一部分，多达三架固定翼无人驾驶飞机同时部署到超级单体雷暴的不同区域，以了解更多有关导致龙卷风形成的大气条件的信息。成功的现场部署归功于（a）游牧式的操作概念，使无人驾驶飞机系统团队和科学团队能够在满足所有航空法规的同时无缝合作;（B）具有模块化功能的加固型RAAVEN无人驾驶飞机系统，与以前设计的蛮力相比，更有利于快速，易于使用。沿着描述了操作和无人驾驶飞机系统的概念，以及4天窗口的结果，其中4个风暴被采样：其中两个风暴是龙卷风（在采样之前、期间或之后形成的龙卷风），两个不是。这些结果验证了在恶劣天气条件下多架无人机同时游牧作业的可行性。此外，成功的实地部署证明了模块化无人驾驶飞机设计的重要性。
This paper presents the results of the design and field deployment of multiple autonomous fixed‐wing unmanned aircraft into supercell thunderstorms. As part of a field campaign in Spring 2019, up to three fixed‐wing unmanned aircraft were deployed simultaneously into different regions of supercell thunderstorms, To learn more about the atmospheric conditions that lead to the formation of tornadoes. Successful field deployment is attributed to (a) a nomadic concept of operations that allows the unmanned aircraft system team and science team to work seamlessly together while satisfying all aviation regulations and (b) the ruggedized RAAVEN unmanned aircraft system with modular features that favor rapid, ease‐of‐use over the brute strength of previous designs. The concept of operations and the unmanned aircraft system are described along with results from a 4 day window where four storms were sampled: two of these storms were tornadic (formed tornadoes before, during, or after being sampled) and two were not. These results validate the feasibility of nomadic operation of multiple unmanned aircraft simultaneously in severe weather conditions. Further, the successful field deployments demonstrate the importance of the modular unmanned aircraft design.
