Enhanced Dual Control Station Protocol of UAV Swarm System

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm systems have been extensively deployed in both civilian and military applications. As the command center of the swarm, the control station plays a crucial role in determining mission completion capabilities. This paper proposes enhanced dual control station protocol that employs hot standby stations operating in mutual standby mode. When anomalies occur in the primary control station, seamless switching to the standby one is immediately initiated, thereby ensuring uninterrupted working of the UAV swarm system. Furthermore, the standby control station possesses an additional function of data forwarding for error correction. When wireless communication is compromised by interference, the standby control station can forward critical commands to UAVs, thereby enhancing anti-jamming capabilities.
