UAV System Architecture – Missouri S & T AESS UAV Team

نویسنده

  • Steve E. Watkins
چکیده

The development and final system architecture of the Missouri S&T AESS UAV Team UAV is described. The project follows the guidelines for the 2008 UAV Challenge – Outback Rescue which is an international aerospace competition held in Kingaroy, Australia. The design of the electrical subsystems and the overall architecture of the UAV is described. The selected systems are integrated into a standard hobby remote control aircraft and configured for autonomous flight and navigation and image acquisition.

Pilot Decision Support for Controlling Multiple UAVs

One challenge facing coordination and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) today is the amount of human involvement needed to carry out a successful mission. Currently, control and coordination of UAVs typically involves multiple operators to control a single agent. The aim of this paper is to invert this relationship, enabling a single pilot to control and coordinate a group of UAVs. ...

Low Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring

In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...

Throughput Maximization for Multi-Slot Data Transmission via Two-Hop DF SWIPT-Based UAV System

In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted cooperative communication system is studied, wherein a source transmits information to the destination through an energy harvesting decode-and-forward UAV. It is assumed that the UAV can freely move in between the source-destination pair to set up line of sight communications with the both nodes. Since the battery of the UAV may be limite...

UAVs in Formation and Dynamic Encirclement Via Model Predictive Control

Switching between the formation flight tactic and the dynamic encirclement tactic for a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is done using a decentralized approach. A team formed from N UAVs, accomplishes a line-of-breast formation then dynamic encirclement around a desired target. A high-level Linear Model Predictive Control (LMPC) policy is used to control the UAV team during the execution...
