Abstract

Abstract: It is of great significance to establish a correct autonomous control level standard of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for understanding the present autonomous control level of UAV in China, and providing the guidance for research and development of Chinese UAV autonomous control technology. It is emphasized that the autonomous control levels of a UAV should be equivalent to the corresponding intelligent behavior level of a piloted airplane. Therefore, based on the analyses of human intelligent behavior mechanism, an autonomous control level of human being is given. Based on the detailed analyses of UAV autonomous control levels in USA, more suitable UAV autonomous control levels for China are suggested by canceling the original distributed autonomous level since it cannot belong to a specified intelligent action, and naming the autonomous levels according to the characteristics of military function. The technical supports of each autonomous level are analyzed; the structure of UAV autonomous control system and the function modules are established to support each UAV autonomous control level.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous control, autonomous levels, human intelligence, mission management system, flight management system
