ABSTRACT
With the continuous development of technology, traditional large-scale unmanned systems exhibit significant limitations when used for entertainment applications in urban airspace. These limitations include low visibility and insufficient visual impact. Moreover, individual products may face risks of being unavailable, unreliable, or even completely ineffective in environments with numerous electronic devices. Cluster unmanned systems based on backup complementary strategies can dynamically optimize their usage according to mission conditions. They can maintain better performance and cost-effectiveness in scenarios with functional variability and complex modes due to their strong resilience. Therefore, cluster unmanned systems have become a new application paradigm and have been widely used in corporate events and festivals, inevitably having a significant impact on future usage concepts. This paper reviews the progress of research on engineered resilient systems and cluster unmanned systems centered on drones. It deeply analyzes the connotations and interrelationships of resilience and security in cluster unmanned systems. Based on this, the paper uses the Markov model analysis method to verify the resilience of cluster unmanned systems and proposes corresponding safeguard strategies to provide theoretical support for the further development and application of related technologies.
Keywords: Cluster unmanned system, Resilience, Security, Backup complementary strategy.
