Analysis of the development and key technologies of helicopter air-launched swarm unmanned aerial vehicle from the perspective of Russia-Ukraine conflict

Russian helicopters were shot down by man-portable air defense missiles (MANPADS) in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and in order to enhance the survivability of helicopters, a new type of helicopter air-launched swarm combat method is studied. It mainly studies the offensive and defensive confrontation between helicopters and MANPADS in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, analyzes the serious air defense threat faced by helicopters in the future based on the advantages of MANPADS, proposes to reduce the risk of helicopters being downed based on helicopter air-launched swarming unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), analyzes the advantages of helicopter air-launched swarm UAVs and their combat styles, and researches the development of typical helicopter air-launched UAV abroad, and puts forward the key technologies of helicopter air-launched swarm UAV with a view to promoting the advancement of the relevant technologies and the generation of operational capabilities.
