Abstract
Abstract Over the past decade, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have received increasing attention and are being used in the areas of harvesting, videotaping, and the military industry. In this article, the consideration is focused on areas where video recording is required for ground inspections. This paper describes modern communication technologies and systems that enable interaction and data exchange between UAVs and a ground control station (GCS). This article focuses on different architectures of communication systems, establishing the characteristics of each to identify the preferred architecture that does not require a significant consumption of resources and whose data transmission is reliable. A coherent architecture that includes multiple UAVs, wireless sensor networks, cellular networks, GCSs, and satellite network to duplicate communications for enhanced system security has been offered. Some reliability problems have been discussed, the solution of which was suggested to be a backup connection via satellite, i.e., a second connection. This study focused not only on the communication channels but also on the data exchanged between system components, indicating the purpose of their application. Some of the communication problems and shortcomings of various systems, as well as further focus areas and improvement recommendations were discussed.
Highlights
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are airborne vehicles that can fly without a crew on board and are controlled remotely from the ground [1]
UAVs enable searching for missing people [12] since the latest developments of UAVs have been used for search and rescue works [13]
The task of observing and controlling UAV flight in real-time will involve the use of several data types obtained from telemetry and payload subsystems, as well as commands to be sent from a ground station to control the UAV
Summary
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are airborne vehicles that can fly without a crew on board and are controlled remotely from the ground [1]. It can operate autonomously, depending on its pre-programmed software, or it can be monitored and controlled remotely from the ground by a system built into a ground control station (GCS). UAVs can be used to fight terrorism without losing human lives in various scenarios as the pilot is secure In this context, the task of observing and controlling UAV flight in real-time will involve the use of several data types obtained from telemetry and payload subsystems, as well as commands to be sent from a ground station to control the UAV. This exchange of data between the UAV and the GCS requires a reliable, broadband, and high-performance wireless channel for real-time communication and distributed data exchange
