Abstract: The paper expounded principles of mine drilling rescue communication technology, emphatically introduced research progress at home and abroad of drilling rescue communication technology, including drilling rescue detection technology, mine rescue command system and visualization technology, high-speed transmission and exchange technology of drilling rescue, pointed out problems need to be solved of mine drilling rescue communication technology and its development tendency: each function and composition of drilling rescue communication system should be independent and organic unification, so as to guarantee normal use of other functions of the system in upgrade process;drilling rescue communication technology should have higher accuracy on links of sound and video image acquisition, environmental monitoring of disaster scene, communication and storage; the drilling rescue communication system should have functions of self-check and recovery through further improving of reliability of data communication system, so as to provide effective reference for establishment of mine rescue plan; application software matched with rescue communication equipments was perfected to ensure that rescue information is real-time interaction transmission with vivid presence to facilitate commanders to do subsequent decisions; error and error judgement and early warning technology of data acquisition system was researched to ensure accurate of rescue information and improve rescue efficiency and success.
