Simulation Method of UAV Avionics System Designing

Abstract:

Avionics system software development is a sophisticated process depended on not fully specified factors. Therefore, essential steps in the development process are tests and verification. In this aim the virtual environment was constructed and prepared for the tests with the target software and the hardware to eliminate hardware defects and software bugs before first flight. The concept of virtual environment was established and developed after unsuccessful flights with long term prepared aircraft models. There was assumed that modelling methods applied separately to frame, engine and control system were not sufficient. There was requirement for complex simulation platform prepared to test whole aircraft in various environment conditions. In the first step the designing process was identified and milestones were placed inside (Fig. 1)
