UAV operator automatized working place software “Efir”
Applications
“Efir” is an operator’s interface for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to solve the tasks of UAV movement control and monitoring during the flight preparation and task execution.
Tasks performed by the device
- Control of UAVs various types: aircraft; helicopter; convertible aircraft; airship; autogyro:
- Pre-flight preparation;
- Flight control
- UAV payloads control
- Control onground system components:
- Synchronization server
- Data communication equipment: command-telemetry radio channel (CTR), payload data channels
Major application properties
Pre-flight preparation:
- UAV systems launching control
- Control journaling
- telemetry translation control
- task loading
UAV movement control:
- real-time telemetry display
- flight mode control: take-off, landing, route, waiting, holding
- task properties and parts control - routes, route turning points (RTP)
- manual remote control
Payload control:
- video control: manual targeting, point tracking, optical channel switching
- aerial photography parameters control (APP)
- of satellite navigation precision sensor control
Key features and properties
- Client-server architecture allows deploying ETHER in a thin client format
- Client-server architecture allows deploying UAV groups control complexes in which several “Efir” may interact with UAVs through a single server and CTR
- Ability to duplicate information on additional screens for demonstration
- Ability to automatically update software via the Internet
