Mission management function: the flight control computer has two channels of RS232 communication, two channels of RS422 communication, four channels of I / O input and four channels of I / O output, and one channel of 10 / 100Mbps Ethernet network. A UAV, commonly known as a drone, unpiloted aerial vehicle, or remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), has its flight controlled either autonomously by on-board. The flight control computer executes the navigation control algorithm to control the aircraft to fly and operate according to the pre planned route. Navigation control and mission planning function: the flight control computer can store several pre planned routes, and multiple range points can be set for each route. At the same time, it also has the advantages of high-precision command response, accurate control signal transmission, multi application platform and so on.Īttitude and position calculation function: MEMS sensor, dynamic and static pressure sensor, magnetic sensor and GPS module are installed in the flight control computer, which can realize the real-time calculation of aircraft airspeed, altitude, attitude and position information, and provide navigation and attitude parameters for aircraft flight control.įlight control and management function: the flight control computer has 12 channels of PWM signal output, 4 channels of PWM signal input, 8 channels of analog signal input, 2 channels of analog signal output and 1 channel of CAN bus, which can realize the operation of multiple actuating equipment. The flight control system has the characteristics of small volume, light weight, low cost and low power consumption. The flight control system has the functions of attitude and position calculation, flight control, navigation control, mission planning management and mission equipment control. It aims at performing the main operations of the drone (e.g. Small UAV flight control system is a compact and reliable flight control system designed for 20 ~ 50kg small UAV system. This article presents an energy-efficient method of controlling unmanned aircraft (fixed-wing UAVs), which consists of three groups of algorithms: aerial. Flight controller, embedded electronic component, represents the core part of the drone.
