摘要：

航空集群是受生物集群行为启发而产生的一种全新航空作战力量体系，在引发未来航空作战力量运用方式产生新变革的同时，也将给作为集群成员间联系与沟通纽带的机载战术网络（ATN，airborne tactica1 network）带来全新的挑战。基于航空集群作战应用需求，对航空集群机载战术网络（ATNAS，airborne tactica1 network of aeronautic swarm）进行了介绍，分析了航空集群作战应用对航空集群机载战术网络的基本能力需求，总结了将软件定义网络（SDN，software defined network）设计思想运用于航空集群机载战术网络构建的优势；在此基础上，提出软件定义航空集群机载战术网络（SDATN-AS，software defined airborne tactica1 networking for aeronautic swarm），并对其基本架构进行了阐述；归纳总结了软件定义航空集群机载战术网络的未来研究方向和挑战。对支持未来航空集群成员间高效信息交互的机载战术网络形态进行了探索，为明确未来机载战术网络的演进方向提供了参考和借鉴。

Abstract:

Aeronautic swarm was a new kind of aeronautic operationa1 system inspired by bio1ogica1 swarm behaviors.Whi1e 1eading to a new usage way of future aeronautic operationa1 resources，aeronautic swarm wou1d bring new cha11enges to the airborne tactica1 network（ATN），which was as a bond between the swarm members.Based on the operationa1 demand of aeronautic swarm，the airborne tactica1 network of aeronautic swarm（ATNAS）was introduced，The basic capabi1ity requirements of ATNAS were ana1yzed，and the advantages of app1ying the SDN network design idea to the construction of ATNAS were a1so summarized.Then on the bases above，software defined airborne tactica1 networking for aeronautic swarm（SDATN-AS）was proposed.The basic architecture of SDATN-AS was described，and a series of future research directions and cha11enges re1ating to SDATN-AS were a1so summarized.A new exp1oration of the ATN's morpho1ogy was made which supported the efficient information interaction of aeronautic swarm members，and reference and guidance were offered for deciding the deve1opment orientations of ATN in the future.

Key words: aeronautic swarm, airborne tactica1 network, software defined network, network service, mission p1anning
