An Architecture and Joint Robot Group for a Long-Range Dynamic Combinatorial Flying Complex Based on Cloud Sea Computing in 5G OGCE

Abstract

Based on the fifth generation of mobile communication (5G), 5G open grid computing environment (5G OGCE), in order to adapt to "civil-military integration strategy" in region from transoceanic flight to space, and to meet the needs of air-sea integration development, a joint (connecting or docking-and-berthing) robot group (JRG) and a long-range dynamic combinatorial flying complex (combinatorial aircraft) are presented by this paper, the aim of which is to provide range extension and improve endurance of a large combat blended wing body (BWB) stealth strategic bomber (SSB). With the support of an aircraft carrier at sea, the large BWB SSB with main part of JRG and stealth unmanned aerial refueling tanker vehicle (UARTV) with joining part of JRG can be joined dynamically together to combinate a flying complex, and achieve all-weather operations in the world. This JRG has the functions similar to the external fuel tank of the aircraft and the externally mounted cruise missile, and the externally mounted aircraft acts as the external fuel tank. By using transition and channel of distributed control cloud architecture of cloud sea computing (CSC) in 5G OGCE, to command and control (C2) and drive JRG, complete the joining (docking) between SSB and UAREV in a variety of standardized movements and operations. JRG can be used to connect the wings of large BWB passenger aircrafts and stealth manned or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for rescue and anti-terrorism.
