Abstract
This paper describes the design, development, production of fully autonomous UAV data link test system. The ethernet based data link systems consist of Ku-Band, C-Band, Wideband-Satcom and Narrow-Band Satcom. Ground control station and all airborne hardware systems with simulation, monitoring capability that are be integrated into these telemetry test systems. Integration of GCS, Airborne hardware system and network based telemetry system with handover capability of UAV aircraft are also included in this paper.
These test system allows to user to simulate auto adjustable data link range with real data link equipment. Test automation software and auto adjustable data link range system are used to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes.
