Focusing Strategy and Effect Analysis of UAV-based Laser Relay Redirectional Energy Transmission Device

doi:10.12382/bgxb.2024.0601

Abstract

Abstract:

Ground-based laser systems are limited in their effectiveness due to obstacles and beam divergence. This limitation can be mitigated by using UAV platforms for close-proximity illumination. Nevertheless, the currently available unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often lack the payload capacity to carry the lasers that meet the necessary power requirements, thus limiting the application of laser systems. To tackle this challenge, a UAV-based laser relay redirectional energy transmission device and its corresponding ground part are designed based on the energy transmission mode of using UAV to turn the light path. Different focusing strategies are discussed, and the system efficiency analysis under simulation conditions is given for different focusing strategies, which can explore a new way for laser system turning irradiation and mobile deployment.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle, laser system, relay redirection, focusing strategy
