Summary
Multi-Unmanned Vehicle (UxV) collaboration typically requires various fundamental capabilities such as communication, radar, navigation, and vision, etc. Currently, it is facing a series of challenges, including numerous functional components, high system complexity, substantial power consumption, and prohibitive cost. These issues severely impede the research and application of UxV swarms. This presentation, aiming to the development of miniaturized and large-scale UxV swarms, examines the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology for near-field, high-performance, and low-cost integrated Measurement, Transmission, and Sensing (MTS) for multi-UxV collaboration. The main content includes: the requirements of MTS capabilities for near-field multi-UxV collaboration; the inspiration from natural swarms to artificial systems; the potential of UWB for integrated MTS; and the preliminary research progress from the author’s team.
