Abstract

Article which is about the Tracking Unmanned Aerial Vehicle continues in the description of the project development dealing with the utilization of the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). Documentation of the project progresses builds on the previous article. In that article the selection of observation and transmission equipment was summarized. In the article, the reader learns about an installation of the equipment on the UAV (helicopter), about an interconnection of the equipment to create complete and functional system, about testing of the UAV, about the solutions of the problems which came into being during testing and about protection of the equipment against unfavourable effects. The location of equipment on the unmanned vehicle was chosen after a considering of several parameters. These parameters are preservation of the functionality or an influence to the balance. To find out how the added equipment affect the centre of gravity of the UAV the tabular method of the centre of gravity calculation was used. The results of the existing work on the project are location and attaching of the equipment to the unmanned vehicle, balance of the unmanned vehicle, solutions of the problems coming into being during the testing and design of the equipment protection against unfavourable effects.

Highlights

  • This article describes the development of the project which taking place at the Department of Air Transport at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Transportation Sciences

  • The reader learns about the further development of the project. He learns about attaching of the selected equipment on the UAV, how they are connected into a functioning system, the testing process, the process of the eliminating any complications and he learns a little about the equipment protection against unfavourable effects

  • From the perspective of the both systems, the unmanned vehicle is ready for use and for research at usage in extreme conditions

Summary

INSTALLATION

Chosen equipment has to be attached to the unmanned vehicle and to the ground station . The cameras, transmitter and parts of AAT system, namely GPS module and OSD (on screen display), had to be mounted on the unmanned vehicle. The methods of attachment to the construction of the UAV are mostly the same like methods commonly use in RC modelling. The methods are attachment with double-sided tape, plastic strapping tape and strapping tape with Velcro. There is the rotatable holder for the main camera described in the previous article in the figure 1
