UAV sense and avoid systems and communication payloads
ARCA (Adaptive Routing and Conflict mAnagement) control system
The goal of the project is to develop an autonomous on-board flight system able to guide a UAV
towards a specific destination modifying its own flight trajectory in reaction to a variety of external
situations, maintaining the separation with other aircrafts. In restricted airspaces this system will
allow a UAV to separate from other UAV by coordinating with them and autonomously solving
possible trajectory conflicts. The system will also offer the same capabilities for the non restricted
airspace, including separation from commercial aircraft. This capability will only be exploitable if
particular operational conditions are met (e.g. all commercial traffic is equipped with devices for
providing navigation information such as the ADS-B; adequate ATM procedures are defined to deal
with equipment failures). Path Planning and Conflict Detection & Resolution functionalities with an
innovative approach based on the emerging frameworks of Multi-agents Systems and Game

Mission background
One important change in Aeronautics and Air Traffic
Management (ATM) is the progressive introduction of
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for both military and
civil scopes. Various countries aim to introduce UAV

UAV AUTOPILOT
www.defensetechs.com [email protected]
Autopilot Overview
The autopilot is designed as a modular system
consisting of a UAV Control Unit and various
sensors (GPS, gyroscope, accelerometers,altimeter, ...) communicating through two
independent CAN buses for high reliability. The
data collected by various sensors is combined by
a unique algorithm statistically evaluating validity
of the data. Data from one particular sensor are
merged with data obtained by another sensor
based on sensor noise probability guess, which
leads to more precise calculation of the UAV's
state. This topology benefits from using of
redundant sensors that are working simultan-UAV Control Unit
eously without switching. When sensor malfunction occurs, only noise probability increases.Classical switching to backup device does not use all available sensors during normal operation.
Features
The key feature of the autopilot is to stabilize the aircraft. The considered variables are:
direction (heading)Operator's
Input
RoutePlanner
PositionRegulators
Actuators Air Frame
horizontal speed
altitude
The controlled variables are:
control of the engine thrust
CollisionDetection
State Filter Sensors
Air Frame
Regulation
AVCSDiagnosis
UCS
Autopilot Architecture Design
aerodynamic control surfaces
(roll, pitch and yaw)
The heading is controlled by a combina-
tion of deflection of the rudder (or elevat-
ors in case of the rudder-free airframes)
and ailerons. The horizontal speed is
controlled by adjustment to the engine
thrust. The rate of climb to a given altitude is achieved by the application of a combination of
elevator deflection and engine thrust.
Automatic Flight Control System
The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) higher level intelligence of the autopilot whichaccepts the commands from the operator (respectively UCS), compares the state (orientation,position, ) of the UAV with what is commanded and instructs the other layer of the systemto make appropriate corrections. It contains the memory to store mission (a list of way points andhow to fly through them) and flight program able to react to unpredicted events.

GROUND CONTROL SYSTEM
www.defensetechs.com [email protected]
UAV Control System
The UAV Control System (UCS) is a NATO STANAG 4586 compatible system designed to control
400 aerial targets and other STANAG 4586 compatible UAV or UGV and UUV. The system is
not limited to one vehicle at a time but can receive telemetry data and sensor imagery frommultiple vehicles in parallel thereby enabling it to combine data from several sources and control
several vehicles and their payloads. According to STANAG 4586 multiple levels of
interoperability are feasible between different UAVs and their UAV Ground Stations (UGSs).
To achieve maximum operational flexibility the UCS supports Level 4: Control and monitoring of
the UAV, less launch and recovery.
UCS Architecture
All UAVs controlled by the system communicate
with Core UCS (CUCS) through STANAG 4586
defined Data Link Interface (DLI). The CUCS unit
processes the telemetry and other data collectedfrom the UAVs. The data is provided further
to compatible C4I Systems and through Human
Computer Interaction (HCI) module to the vehicle
and payload operators.
UCS Configurations
There are several configurations of the UCS
available to meet specific requirements of various
missions. Mobile configuration is designed to provide basic functionality focusing on maximum
mobility and easiness of use in complicated situations. Room and Car configurations offer
a reasonable trade-off between full featured functionality, lower mobility and more complex human-computer interaction requiring more qualified operators.
Payload Control
The payload carried by the vehicle can be
sensor systems and associated recording
devices that are installed on the air vehicle,
or they can consist of stores, e.g. weapon
systems, and associated control/feedback
mechanisms, or both. The data link element
consists of the Air Data Terminal (ADT)
in the air vehicle and the Ground Data
Terminal (GDT), which may be located on
surface, sub-surface or air platforms. The
control of the UAV System and communication with its payloads is achieved through the UCS and
data link elements. The UCS element incorporates the functionality to generate, load and execute
the UAV mission and to disseminate usable information data products to various C4I systems or
a custom external system.

Features of Control Library
The Control Library gives user a friendly
access to the low level hardware functionality.
CAN Open layer
Ethernet layer
FAT disk access
RTC access
Library with components/blocks for control process
Features of control GUI
The Control GUI gives a possibility to monit-
or, configure and debug the control process.
The GUI can display a content of any point,
modify point values, paint charts and display
logs from control process. Well known blocks
like PID controller have their own dialog.
The GUI can connect to the CU through
ethernet / UDP connection (using a propriet-
ary protocol) or through a serial port.
The control points can be used as inputs and
or outputs e. g. into control blocks, math
blocks, switches.
The Control network can be stored in XMLformat on SD card.
Several points can be mapped to PDO/SDO
variables from CAN Open external sensors.
More complex blocks and custom functional-
ity can be compiled as custom functional
blocks.
