Prototyping for communication, navigation and power supply subsystems of on-board equipment of unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The article discusses the basic principles of the implementation of the prototype of the communication, navigation and power supply subsystems in the onboard equipment of unmanned aerial vehicles. Ensuring the correct interaction of peripheral devices of unmanned aerial vehicles is an important design stage. In this case, the used element base must ensure communication between the software modules of the onboard software and peripheral devices within the framework of the architectural solution of the project. At the design stage, the proposed method of replacing real subsystems with their prototypes for debugging the software environment of the life cycle of the cross-platform onboard software of an unmanned aerial vehicle has demonstrated high efficiency. To emulate the basic modules, a software environment developed by the authors was used to ensure the life cycle of cross-platform onboard software and onboard equipment modules for an unmanned aerial vehicle.
