Abstract

Unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft (VTOL UAV) will become an important maritime supervision platform in the future. The aim of this research was to give out basic requirements of using VTOL UAV in the field of maritime management. We studied duties of China's Maritime Safety Administration (MSA), and analyzed maritime tasks, then summarized what VTOL UAV can do in those tasks. Base on those task demand and sea working environment conditions, and also according experiments flight, the paper gives out the basic technical requirements of VTOL UAV from the points of task devices, application mode, platform technical parameters, flight and control, and wireless communications. The paper introduces using of shore-based and ship-based VTOL UAV, and concludes that it should reach the demand of endurance, wind resistance scale, platform ability respectively. The paper makes comparison to illustrate that the effects of different VTOL UAV flight height and base station height on the communication distance.
