Abstract:
In an unmanned aircraft, many different values are generated by sampling various sensors installed on it. At critical moments, when data values of variables besides default values must be known to completely understand the behavior of the aircraft, we propose different alternatives for sending multiple data to the ground. The proposal is to discuss alternatives in order to be able to send samples more than ten times per second at critical times (when the aircraft performs sudden maneuvers, takes off, lands, or the parachute is opening). As preliminary results, we present the data obtained in the most extreme case, which means using full RS-232 bandwidth for the six most important parameters, with a result of 210 samples per second for every parameter.
