Abstract:

In coordinated circular motion of a group of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), it is important to ensure that collisions between them are avoided. A typical situation occurs when one of the drones in a circular formation needs to overtake the drone ahead. The reason for such an overtake may be due to a given geometry of the UAV formation, when this configuration of a given relative position of the drones has changed for some reason. In this case, the limited maneuverability of UAVs of exactly fixed-wing type requires taking into account the peculiarities of their dynamics i

In this paper we present a deep neural network modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations data in order to optimize control of bioinspired morphing wings of a drone. Drones flight needs to consider variation in aerodynamic conditions that cannot all be optimized using a fixed aerodynamic profile. Nature solves this issue as birds are changing continuously the shape of their wings depending of the aerodynamic current requirements. One important issue for fixed wing drone is the landing as it is unable to control and most of the time consequences are some damages at the nose.

Many drone platforms have matured to become nearly optimal flying machines with only modest improvements in efficiency possible. “Chimera” craft combine fixed wing and rotary wing characteristics while being substantially less efficient than both. The increasing presence of chimeras suggests that their mix of vertical takeoff, hover, and more efficient cruise is invaluable to many end users. We discuss the opportunity for flapping wing drones inspired by large insects to perform these mixed missions. Dragonflies particularly are capable of efficiency in all modes of flight.

The goal was to assess the quality of the pre-disaster 3-D data in the context of geospatial accuracy and building representation. The images were acquired with a senseFly eBee Plus fixed-wing drone with real-time kinematic/post-processed kinematic functionality. Results indicate that the spatial accuracies achieved with this drone would allow for s

Abstract:

Background Drones are increasingly used in healthcare, and feasibility studies of deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been conducted. Despite the potential contribution of drones to healthcare, regulatory barriers exist, including limits on flights beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS). The aim of this project was to deliver an AED BVLOS in Wales. Methods We developed of a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to identify requirements, constraints, organisation and roles and responsibilities associated with deploying a drone to deliver an

Abstract:

Multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones are extensively used to collect the data needed for producing large-scale topographic maps and plans. Several types of drone products are available, and the most important one for surveyors is an orthophoto. Flight planning, the quality of the control data, the assessment of drone products, and the image processing software need to be considered when using thes e drones. In this study, we explained these concepts and discussed their theoretical and practical importance in providing standards and tools that might help drone users, surveyors, and others, in obta

Aiming at the difficult problem of the classification between flying bird and rotary-wing drone by radar, a micro-motion feature classification method is proposed in this paper. Using K-band frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, data acquisition of five types of rotor drones (SJRC S70 W, DJI Mavic Air 2, DJI Inspire 2, hexacopter, and single-propeller fixed-wing drone) and flying birds is carried out under indoor and outdoor scenes. Then, the feature extraction and parameterization of the corresponding micro-Doppler (m-D) signal are performed using time-frequency (T-F) analysis. In

Abstract. Many drones are used to obtain high resolution imagery. Subsequent 3D object point derivation from images of these systems is an established technique. While rotor-craft drones are often used to capture fine, detailed structures and objects in small-scale areas fixed-wing versions are commonly used to cover larger areas even far beyond line of sight. Usually, these drones fly at much higher velocities during data acquisition and therefore the according sensor requirements are much higher.This paper presents the evaluation of a prototype camera system for fast flying fixed-wing drones

The different varieties of drones may be differentiated in terms of the sort (fixed-wing, multirotor, etc.), the degree of autonomy, the dimensions and weight, and also the power supply. These specifications are dynamic, as an example for the drone’s cruising vary, the utmost flight length, and also the loading capability. Apart from the drone itself (i.e., the ‘platform’) varied varieties of payloads may be distinguished, together with freight (e.g., mail parcels, medicines, hearth ending material, flyers, etc.) and differing kinds of sensors (e.g., cameras, sniffers, meteorological sensors,

Abstract:

The detection of drones using radar presents challenges due to their small radar cross-section (RCS) values, slow velocities, and low altitudes. Traditional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) detectors often fail to detect weak radar signals from small drones, resulting in high “Missed Target” rates due to the dependence of SNR values on RCS and detection range. To overcome this issue, we propose the use of a Doppler signal-to-clutter ratio (DSCR) detector that can extract both amplitude and Doppler information from drone signals. Theoretical calculations suggest that the DSCR of a target is less dep

The findings of this study indicate that the effectiveness of numerical calculations can be verified by comparison with both results of the numerical simulation and airborne flight test in the same conditions.

Many birds in the natural world are capable of engaging in sustained soaring within thermal updrafts for extended periods without flapping their wings. Autonomous soaring has the potential to greatly improve both the range and endurance of small drones. In this paper, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) thermal updraft center prediction method based on ordinary least squares (OLS) is proposed to develop the autonomous soaring system for small drones, and an adaptive step size update strategy is incorporated into the EKF. The proposed method is compared with EKF thermal updraft prediction methods
