The mode of future wars is mainly local wars and regional conflicts. This style of war is characterized by unpredictability and instability, which can happen anytime and anywhere. Once it happens, the battlefield is vast, short-range and fast-changing. In order to adapt to the characteristics of this kind of warfare, simple equipment and short reaction time have become two important factors in selecting weapons. Coaxial rotorcraft has been widely studied and applied in future wars due to its convenient carrying, strong environmental adaptability, and rich load capacity. This paper conducts an overview of the Coaxial rotorcraft. Furthermore, we also identify its key technologies, warfare scenarios and future directions. We anticipate that this survey can shed new light on the coaxial rotorcraft systems. Micro aerial vehicles, coaxial, rotorcraft, warfare, application.
