THE DEVELOPMENT OF FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE CLOSE RANGE SURVEILLANCE UAV

This paper presents the development of flight control system for the close range surveillance UAV. The developed flight control system consists of hardware and software including flight control and guidance algorithms. It includes essential functions of UAV operations such as autopilot, point navigation and preprogram mode. The results of flight and HILS tests show that the developed system possesses performances suitable for the purpose of close range surveillance.
