Abstract – Ground Control Station (GCS) is a very important part in controlling and monitoring UAV aircraft as well as monitoring a mission so that operators at the home base can send mission orders. The importance of this mission requires a system in this case, namely the GCS that can be connected to various types of unmanned vehicles. This study develops a GCS system that is used for controlling and monitoring the condition of UAV aircraft and sending waypoint tracking mission commands that are connected to a cloud server via the internet. This system consists of two units, namely the flight unit and the video unit, the flight unit consists of a flight controller, the video unit is a system that is on a camera connected to telemetry and connected to the internet so that it can be accessed via the internet, thus controlling and monitoring UAV aircraft and target control delivery on the GCS will be accessible anywhere via the internet. The GCS system has been able to display the condition of the aircraft status, sending flight hover mission commands, land and sending missions, namely tracking waypoints and camera object coordinates. In areas where the mission's 4G internet signal can run smoothly by sending 15 takeoff and landing control waypoints which manually with precision results, the fix wings type UAV aircraft can pass through several tracking waypoints that experience errors.

Uninhabited vehicles can be used in many applications and domains, particularly in environments that humans cannot enter (e.g. deep sea) or prefer not to enter (e.g. war zones). The promise of relatively low cost, highly reliable and effective assets that are not subject to the physical, psychological or training constraints of human pilots has led to much research effort across the world. Due to technological advances and increasing investment, interest in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a practical, deployable technological component in many civil applications is rapidly increasing and becoming a reality, as are their capabilities and availability. UAV platforms also offer a unique experimental environment for developing, integrating and experimenting with many other technologies such as automated planners, knowledge representation systems, chronicle recognition systems, etc. UAV performs various kinds of missions such as mobile tactical reconnaissance, surveillance, law enforcement, search and rescue, land management, environmental monitoring, disaster management. UAV is a complex and challenging system to develop. It operates autonomously in unknown and dynamically changing environment. This requires different types of subsystems to cooperate. In order to realize all functionalities of the UAV, the software part becomes very complex real-time system expected to execute real-time tasks concurrently. This paper describes proposed software architecture for GCS (Ground Control Station) for lightweight UAV purpose-built for medium-scale reconnaissance and surveillance missions in civil area. The overall system architecture and implementation are described.

This thesis presents a reconfigurable Ground Control Station designed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle use, which utilizes multi-touch gesture inputs as well as the ability for the operator to personalize where the instruments they interact with are located on screen. The Ground Control Station that is presented was designed and developed in Ryerson University’s Mixed-Reality Immersive Motion Simulation Laboratory utilizing commercial off the shelf programs supplied by Presagis. Presagis’ VAPS XT 4.1 beta was used to design and develop the actual Ground Control Station’s User Interface due to its ability to create high quality interfaces for aircraft that harness multi-touch gestures. While FlightSIM 14 was used to simulate a high fidelity aircraft being controlled by the Ground Control Station. The final interface was comprised of six key features and 12 different instrument panels that could be manipulated by the operator to control a simulated aircraft throughout a virtual environment.

Cognitive Optimization

Multi-agent hybrid social cognitive optimization (MAHSCO) based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is suggested to solve the problem of the generation of formations of unmanned vehicles. Through the analysis of the unmanned vehicle formation problem, formation principles, formation scale, unmanned vehicle formation safety distance, and formation evaluation indicators are taken into consideration. The application of the IoT enables the optimization of distributed computing. To ensure the reliability of the formation algorithm, the convergence of MAHSCO has been proved. Finally, computer simulation and actual unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation generation flight generating four typical formations are carried out. The result of the actual UAV formation generation flight is consistent with the simulation experiment, and the algorithm performs well. The MAHSCO algorithm based on the IoT is proved to be able to generate formations that meet the mission requirements quickly and accurately.

Collecting information on traffic flows are important for provide high quality road system. At present, fixed camera is widely used for the monitoring system which covers limited area.  Therefore, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as quadrotor is developed for monitoring traffic flow since the UAV is responsive mobile sensing system. This development of UAV platform is a starting point for developed a highway traffic and management system which is in future can be enhance by connected the system with graphical user interface (GUI) on ground control station that can defined types of vehicles and analyze level of congestion. At present, the system that developed only transmits a real time video to ground control station without any interpretation by software that detects types of vehicles and analyzes traffic condition. Through the surveillance and monitoring of traffic flows that done at Engineering Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, the system provides suitable information for authorities to analyse level of congestion happened on the road and provide alternative solution for users in order to avoid the traffic jam.

In this paper, we present a comprehensive design for a fully functional unmanned rotorcraft system: GremLion. GremLion is a new small-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) concept using two contra-rotating rotors and one cyclic swash-plate. It can fit within a rucksack and be easily carried by a single person. GremLion is developed with all necessary avionics and a ground control station. It has been employed to participate in the 2012 UAVForge competition. The proposed design of GremLion consists of hardware construction, software development, dynamics modeling and flight control design, as well as mission algorithm investigation. A novel computer-aided technique is presented to optimize the hardware construction of GremLion to realize robust and efficient flight behavior. Based on the above hardware platform, a real-time flight control software and a ground control station (GCS) software have been developed to achieve the onboard processing capability and the ground monitoring capability respectively. A GremLion mathematical model has been derived for hover and near hover flight conditions and identified from experimental data collected in flight tests. We have combined H∞ technique, a robust and perfect tracking (RPT) approach, and custom-defined flight scheduling to design a comprehensive nonlinear flight control law for GremLion and successfully realized the automatic control which includes take-off, hovering, and a variety of essential flight motions. In addition, advanced mission algorithms have been presented in the paper, including obstacle detection and avoidance, as well as target following. Both ground and flight experiments of the complete system have been conducted including autonomous hovering, waypoint flight, etc. The test results have been presented in this paper to verify the proposed design methodology.
