Investigation of Network Communication Protocol on Autonomous Aerocraft Flying Formation

According to the safety and reliable transmission and integration requirement of co-guidance information for autonomous aerocraft flying formation, the control mode of autonomous flying formation was studied. The paper firstly presents the AdHoc-based communication network scheme of autonomous flying formation, and the design and implementation mechanism of four-level networking protocol stack model which includes application level and network level and data link level and physical level. Then the OPNET-based protocol stack simulation models were established, and the simulation results show the communication network scheme and networking protocol stack are feasible.
