Research on Unmanned Helicopter Communication System Based on μC/OS-II Operating System

Abstract:

Recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has gained great attention and importance both in civil and military applications all over the world. Ground Monitoring and Control System (GMCS) is an important part of the entire unmanned helicopter system. As UAV develops rapidly, the functions and tasks are becoming increasingly complex, and the ground control station needs to collect more data. In addition, establishing a real-time and reliable communication system has become an important part of the control system of UAVs. The μC/OS-II operating system has the characteristics of modular application which can be used for multiple task operations, and can satisfy the requirement of real time system very well. And the system was successfully applicable to practical UAV fighter and the setting up of The Ground Monitoring Station.
