Research on UAV Flight Test Technology Based on Embedded Commands

Abstract

This paper presents the current situation that the pilot’s manual operation method can’t fully meet the requirements of UAV flight test. To solve the problem, a UAV flight test technology based on embedded command is proposed. By analysing the verification contents and assessment methods of UAV flight test, the typical actions in UAV flight test are extracted, the embedded command modules are designed, and the embedded command flight test method is formulated. The flight test results show that compared with the manual operation method, the embedded command flight test technology can alleviate pilot’s operation burden, reduce the flight test risks and improve the flight test efficiency.
