What are the main functions of uav ground control station

uav ground control station are also called "mission planning and control stations." Mission planning mainly means that the flight path of the drone is affected by mission planning during flight: Control refers to controlling the entire system of the drone system during the flight, and performing corresponding actions according to the requirements of the operator . The uav ground control station system should have the following typical functions:

1. Attitude control of the aircraft. After each airborne sensor obtains the corresponding flight status information of the aircraft, these data are transmitted to the ground station in a predefined format through a data link. The GCS computer processes this information at the ground station, calculates the control requirements according to the control law, forms control instructions and control parameters, and then transmits the control instructions and control parameters to the flight control computer on the drone through the data link. Control of the aircraft.

2. Display of payload data and control of payload. The payload is the unit of execution of the drone mission. The ground control station controls the payload according to the mission requirements, and monitors the execution of the mission by displaying the payload status.

3. Mission planning, aircraft position monitoring, and map display of routes. Mission planning mainly includes processing tactical information, studying mission area maps, calibrating flight routes, and providing planning data to operators. The position monitoring of the aircraft and the map display part of the route are mainly convenient for the operator to monitor the status of the aircraft and the track in real time.

4. Navigation and target positioning. The drone maintains contact with the ground control station through the wireless data link during the mission

When encountering special circumstances, it is necessary for the uav ground control station to implement navigation control on it so that the aircraft can fly in a safe route. With the development of space technology, traditional inertial navigation combined with advanced GCS navigation technology has become the mainstream navigation technology for drone system navigation. Target positioning refers to the azimuth, altitude, and distance data sent by the aircraft to the ground, which requires additional time labels, so that these quantities can be combined with the correct instantaneous position of the aircraft to achieve the most accurate calculation of the target position. In order to accurately determine the position of the target, the position of the aircraft must be grasped through navigation technology, and the angle and distance of the short vector of the aircraft to the target must also be determined. Therefore, there is a very close relationship between target positioning technology and aircraft navigation technology.

5. Communication links with other subsystems. This communication link is used to command, control and distribute the information collected by the drone. With the development of computer and network technology, the current communication link mainly uses the local area network to share data. In this way, communication with other organizations is not simply after the end of the task, but more importantly during the execution of the task, through relevant professional Multi-level analysis of shared data, timely feedback, and on-site commanders will immediately make changes to pre-planned tasks based on these comments, so that they can make full use of many resources and provide overall mission completion information from the battlefield. Strong support and reasonable suggestions make the current work of the ground station more effective.
