Avionics Systems Development for Small Unmanned Aircraft
The avionics systems for two small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered from the point of view of hardware selection, navigation and control algorithm design, and software development. Some common challenges for many small UAV systems are addressed, including gust disturbance rejection at low speeds, control power, and systems integration. A rapid prototyping simulation framework whic...
متن کاملUnmanned aircraft systems as wingmen
This paper introduces a method to integrate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) into a highly functional manned/ unmanned team through the design and implementation of 3D distributed formation/flight control algorithms with the goal to act as wingmen for a manned aircraft. The proposed algorithms are designed to increase UAS autonomy, dynamically modify formations, utilize standard operating forma...
متن کاملCooperative Electronic Chaining Using Small Unmanned Aircraft
When using a team of small unmanned aircraft, with no satellite communications, the operational range of the team is typically limited by line-of-sight communication constraints between an individual aircraft and a ground station, and not the endurance range of the individual aircraft within the team. By using electronic chaining to form a multi-hop communication link using the team, the overal...
متن کاملQualitative Failure Analysis for a Small Quadrotor Unmanned Aircraft System
As Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) become more prevalent, their safety and integration into the National Airspace System has become a topic of much debate. Current regulations are difficult to apply to UAS, particularly small UAS for which development, certification, and production costs must be kept at a minimum to remain competitive. This prohibits the use of triple or even double redundancy ...
متن کاملEnergy Harvesting and Mission Effectiveness for Small Unmanned Aircraft
This paper explores the feasibility of improving unmanned air vehicle (UAV) mission effectiveness by extracting energy from the atmosphere. Specifically, we consider an aerial surveillance mission in the vicinity of a geographic ridge. Cross winds flowing over the ridge produce regions of lift on the windward side that can be exploited to increase mission duration. Mission effectiveness is quan...
