Modular Air-Ground Rescue Vehicle System

Reconnaissance and situational awareness at disaster sites are essential for the effective execution of various disaster prevention and response operations. By integrating aerial unmanned drone observation with ground-based exploration devices, operations can be carried out in a highly coordinated manner, enabling rapid and accurate rescue actions that reduce losses and improve rescue efficiency.

This invention innovatively proposes a fully integrated air-ground system, primarily composed of four main units: the mechanical system, control system, transmission system, and power system. The vehicle body adopts a tracked drive system to overcome uneven terrain, inclines, and declines encountered during missions. According to task requirements, different modules can be installed. The main components include the vehicle body, robotic arm module, ground-penetrating metal detector and flag insertion module, demining plow module, and rope-launching gun module.

The control system uses wireless communication for control and video signal transmission, with an operational range of 300–500 meters. To prevent operational difficulties caused by wireless signal interference, the system is also equipped with a 200-meter fiber-optic cable for wired transmission, enabling simultaneous and interchangeable use of both wired and wireless modes, thereby enhancing the efficiency of mission execution and hazard removal.
