Design and Realization of Simulation TestBed for Intelligent Unmanned Swarm System

Abstract:
Aiming to meet the needs of unmanned swarm testing and verification in intelligent unmanned systems as well as solve the high-risk issues faced in physical testing, this paper designs and implements a simulation testbed. The main research includes: building a testbed architecture for a scaled-up unmanned swarm system; designing a Docker-based unmanned swarm support platform; and building a ROS-based unmanned swarm drive engine. In order to verify the feasibility of the platform, we perform a fixed-wing UAV swarm relay communication test and a semi-physical semi-simulation unmanned vehicle queue test in this paper. The test results show that the simulation testbed implemented in this paper can effectively evaluate the cooperative operation of multiple unmanned devices, and the test datas are accurate and reliable, which is of certain significance to the unmanned swarm test and evaluation.
