  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a scheme in which a communication realy UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) efficiently selects the optimal relay position on the battlefield where GPS on the ground is limited. Warfighters on the battlefield must communicate with their commander all the time, and the scheme in which the relay UAV chooses and maneuvers the optimal point contributes effectively to accomplish mission success. The proposed scheme consists of two steps. In the first step of the proposed scheme, a single UAV selects the optimal point based on TOA (Time of Arrival) and Minimax theory using the fast position change characteristics. In the second step, we remove the unnecessary regression of least squares method based on the geometric characteristics of the ground terminals and the UAV. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, arbitrary battlefield was implemented using computer simulation, and the RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), the maximum communication range, and the number of iterations were measured. We also confirmed the feasibility in real environment through generalized virtual attack and defense model.
