UAV Ground Station Design for Enhanced Flight Control and Fault Detection

This project introduces a UAV ground station that collects and displays in-flight telemetry data, enabling users to control aircraft via computer inputs such as joysticks or keyboards. The system displays pseudo-real-time imagery for navigation and serves as a foundational building block for future automation. Leveraging ArduPilot, the scope expands to include seeded fault detection, utilizing simple sensors to identify real-world risks associated with combat and surveillance aircraft. The timeline will be managed using Gantter®, detailing necessary architecture, specifications, and required technologies.

  2. Project Introduction • Initial Scope: UAV Ground Station • Collect and display in-flight telemetry data • Allow user to control aircraft through a computer (joystick/keyboard input) • Display pseudo real-time imagery on computer to aid in navigation • A building block for a future ground station capable of fully automated flight • Current Scope • Use of ArduPilot meets many of the future goals • Project expanded to include seeded fault detection • Detect faults using simple sensors • Faults should represent real-world risks to combat/surveillance aircraft
