Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cluster is becoming a major combat force in future wars. This paper analysed and summarized the advantages and current states of intelligent technologies in UAV cluster operations both domestically and internationally, thereby predicting development trends in intelligent unmanned cluster combat capabilities. Firstly, the development characteristics of UAV cluster intelligent technologies in the United States, Europe, and China were analysed. In combination with battlefield situations and operational requirements, the current status, technical difficulties, and key technologies of intelligent UAV cluster technologies were analysed. Finally, the development trends of intelligent UAV cluster technologies were summarized, and the development path for intelligent technologies to enhance the autonomous reconnaissance, strike, and damage assessment capabilities of UAV clusters was identified .
