Simulation of a UAV ground control station

چکیده
In this article we present the development of a UAV ground control station simulator. We propose a module based description of the architecture of this simulator. We present the nonlinear model (six degree-of-freedom) of a fixed wing aircraft. And finally we present automatic control for a flight path. The control system is multi-layered. For fixedwing UAVs, it consists of a flight-path controller, a heading, speed and altitude controller, and a rudder controller. The approach is made clear through several diagrams, figures of the resulting station are displayed. RÉSUMÉ. Dans cet article nous présentons le développement d’un simulateur d’une station sol pour drones. Nous proposons une description de l’architecture de ce simulateur. Nous présentons le modèle non-linéaire d'un drone (six degrés de liberté) à voilure fixe. Enfin, nous présentons le module pilote automatique qui gère la commande des trajectoires de vol. Le système de commande est multicouche. Pour les drones à voilure fixe, il se compose du contrôleur de la trajectoire de vol, du contrôleur de cap, vitesse et altitude, et du contrôleur des gouvernes. L'approche est soigneusement expliquée à travers plusieurs diagrammes et figures détaillées de la station.
