Development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System Integration Laboratory(UAV SIL) for the Integrated Verification

Abstract

This paper describes the results of the development of the the unmanned aerial vehicle system integration laboratory(UAV SIL) for the integrated verification. This UAV SIL is designed to test the robustness of the UAV system including the operational logics and the flight control system behaviors under many abnormal and emergency conditions such as data-link losses, airborne subsystem failures, engine shut down conditions, and ground control station faults.This paper presents how to build the UAV SIL and how to verify the in-development UAV system through the UAV SIL.
