Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle system interlocking system is provided. The unmanned aerial vehicle system interlocking system includes each unmanned aerial vehicle control system for controlling each unmanned aerial vehicle included in a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles; and an interlocking management device for interlocking each unmanned aerial vehicle control system. Each unmanned aerial vehicle control system includes a management unit for managing the interlocking and operation status of equipment for performing a simulated flight of each unmanned aerial vehicle; a ground control unit for controlling each unmanned aerial vehicle for the simulated flight; and a data link interlocking unit for transmitting and receiving information between the management unit and the ground control unit. The interlocking management device interlocks each unmanned aerial vehicle control system through a wired communication method using an RF (Radio Frequency) wired cable or a wireless communication method through an antenna. Based on a complex operation including a simulated flight operation of each unmanned aerial vehicle according to the interlocking of each unmanned aerial vehicle control system, the interlocking and operation status of equipment included in each unmanned aerial vehicle control system can be managed.

Description

Interoperability System for Unmanned Aircraft Platform The present disclosure relates to a System Integration Laboratory (SIL) environment for precisely verifying system-level functionality, performance, and interoperability prior to actual flight testing of an Unmanned Aircraft Platform. More specifically, it relates to a technology for comprehensively simulating and evaluating dynamic operational scenarios, such as changes in control and mission rotations, by integrating and deploying flight control Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS), avionics SIL, data links, mission equipment, and ground control systems (GCS) in a laboratory environment. Since unmanned aerial vehicle systems operate through the complex interoperability of various components, such as the airframe, data link, and ground control equipment, laboratory-based interoperability and operational testing are essential to verify requirement fulfillment at the system level prior to actual flight testing. However, conventionally, there were limitations in testing from an integrated perspective, as only some onboard equipment was replaced with actual equipment, or flight control and mission execution parts were verified separately in different laboratories. Consequently, there was inefficiency and risk involved in changing control between the aircraft operating base and the mission control base, as well as mission rotations involving data link exchanges linked to ground control equipment, which were difficult to reproduce and verify at the laboratory level and could only be tested in actual operational environments.
