无人飞行器分布式控制系统集成新技术

An Innovative Technology of Distributed Control System Integration for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

无人飞行器(UAV-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)自主飞行控制系统是一复杂控制系统,需要集成新的控制算法与各种不同组件技术和资源。来自不同类型硬件平台的组件,可能由不同的操作系统支持。分布在不同环境的组件能灵活配置和集成,使系统对环境变化和/或没预测到的事件能够快速响应,实现UAV在线重配和自适应能力。软件技术的最新进展可使飞行控制系统设计发生革命性变化。本文着重介绍一种用于UAV飞控系统集成的全新的开放控制平台(OCP-Open Control Platform),在介绍第一个OCP应用原型后,给出了下一步要做的工作。

Autonomous flight control system of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is a complex control system. Integration of new control algorithms with a variety of different component technologies and resources is required. These components may come from different types of hardware platforms and are supported by different operating systems. Components distributed on different environment may be configured and integrated flexibly. The rapid online reconfiguration and adaptation to react to environmental changes and respond to unpredictable events may be carried out. Recent advances in software technology have the potential to revolutionize flight control system design. This paper focuses on introducing open software architecture, called the Open Control Platform (OCP), for integrating control technologies and resources of UAV. After a prototype Open Control Platform is illustrated, and two ongoing works using OCP technologies are listed.
