description The UAV cluster combat puts forward higher requirements for short-distance arresting gears for multitype aircraft. Based on magnetorheological technology, an arresting gear was designed, and the structural parameters of the MR damper were optimized. An iterative optimization method of structural parameters via a genetic algorithm combined with parametric modeling and magnetic field simulation was proposed. The optimization method was applied to optimize the structure of both a single-coil and double-coil damper. The performance of the optimized arresting gear was studied. The results show that, under the same zero field damping upper limit, the variation range of the damping force of the double coil increases by 10.2% compared with that of the single coil. Comparing the peak overload of UAV before and after the optimization, when the UAV mass increases from 4000 kg to 10,000 kg, the reduction in the peak acceleration is increased from 19.8% to 25.4%. Compared with traditional hydraulic arresting gear, the new arresting gear has good adaptability to UAVs with various qualities and has higher arresting efficiency. This arresting gear has a certain advanced nature.
