    Ultraviolet light guided flight offers many advantages for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as strong anti-interference ability, all-weather operation, non-line-of-sight communication, strong secure communication ability, and suitability to special situations. This study presents a wireless ultraviolet guided method that assists UAV matching of different terrain flights, and proposes a control method of optical power based on ultraviolet light. By adjusting the angle and power of the transmitter of the ultraviolet beacon, the power of the ultraviolet light reaching the flight plane of the UAV is equalized, thereby ensuring the safety of the UAV flight. The power control method is simulated on a computer. When the transmission angle of the ultraviolet LED is 80° or less, the power is easily controlled; moreover, the beacon integration is easily achieved and is less affected by the terrain and height, among other factors.
