Adaptive Control Techniques for Transition-to-Hover Flight of Fixed-Wing UAVs
… discusses the use of the commercially available ArduPilot open source autopilot, to autonomously transition a fixed-wing UAV to and from hover flight. Software modifications were made to the ArduPilot firmware to add hover flight modes using both Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) Control …

INCREASED SPEED AND ENDURANCE OF ADVANCED MULTI-COPTERS THROUGH THE USE OF SIDE THRUSTERS
… autonomously operate the additional motors using ArduPilot’s Lua scripting capability. Final flight tests are conducted on the subscale model configured with a mock solar array. The implementation of side-thrusters effectively regulates the pitch of the vehicle to zero in cruise flight, reducing …

Development of an Quadcopter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Atmospheric Remote Sensing
<p>This paper explores the development of a quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, a.k.a. drone) for atmospheric remote sensing of temperature, pressure, humidity, and PM2.5 particulate matter quantities. A 3-D printed drone body is designed and flight tuning is performed. An optimal length for …

Implementation of a Trusted I/O Processor on a Nascent SoC-FPGA Based Flight Controller for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are aircraft without a human pilot on board. They are comprised of a ground-based autonomous or human operated control system, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a communication, command and control (C3) link between the two systems. UAS are widely used in military …
