The paper presents a hardware/software architecture for the study of algorithms for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle-type quadcopter in the presence of wind loads; an algorithm for the stabilization of the position of the center of mass of the quadcopter has been implemented and tested on an experimental model. The purpose of the presented hardware/software architecture is a study of the UAV control system parameters influence on the accuracy of the positioning of the vehicle in laboratory conditions under the influence of wind loads, as well as the movement of the vehicle along the specified points of the trajectory based on inertial sensors. The article discusses about the necessary hardware and software elements for reaching the stabilization of the position of the quadcopter in the hover mode based on data obtained from sensors. As the result of the study, the theoretical and experimental data are compared and the permissible range of the positioning error of the device is determined.
