Guidance, Navigation, Control, and Operator Interfaces for Small Rapid Response Unmanned Helicopters
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the development of small rapid response reconnaissance unmanned helicopters (1 to 3 kg, electric), for use by the military in urban areas and by civilian first responders, in terms of system architecture, automation (including navigation, flight control, and guidance), and operator interface designs. Design objectives include an effective user interface, a vehicle capable of smooth and precise motion control, an ability to display clear images to an operator, and a vehicle that is capable of safe and stable flight.

Integrated Flight Path Planning System and Flight Control System for Unmanned Helicopters
This paper focuses on the design of an integrated navigation and guidance system for unmanned helicopters. The integrated navigation system comprises two systems: the Flight Path Planning System (FPPS) and the Flight Control System (FCS). The FPPS finds the shortest flight path by the A-Star (A*) algorithm in an adaptive manner for different flight conditions, and the FPPS can add a forbidden z...
متن کاملApplication of Fuzzy Control to Helicopter Navigation
Fuzzy control has shown to be useful in handling non-linear systems and ill-defined or imprecise problems that depend on the operator skill, as is the case of helicopters. This paper presents a simulated environment application of fuzzy control to a helicopter navigation system. This work corresponds to a suitability analysis for the implementation of this system on board of an unmanned helicop...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Immersive Teleoperating System for Unmanned Helicopter
To collect the information on devastated districts, it is effective to use helicopters. However, the operation using manned helicopters costs a lot. It is expected that the use of unmanned helicopters could reduce the cost of these tasks. It is known to be more difficult to operate unmanned helicopters remotely than to operate manned helicopters. The reason is that an operator cannot know the a...
متن کاملAutonomous Navigation , Guidance and Control of Small Electric Helicopter Regular Paper
In this study, we design an autonomous navigation, guidance and control system for a small electric helicopter. Only small, light‐weight, and inaccurate sensors can be used for the control of small helicopters because of the payload limitation. To overcome the problem of inaccurate sensors, a composite navigation system is designed. The designed navigation sys...
