The design and realization of ground control system for multi-UAV

According to the requirement of flight control and monitoring of multi-UAV for a project, a flight control ground control system has been developed by using VC++ as development tool, embedded with MapX map. The system performed as designing and realizing the UAV data link, ensureing cooperative flight of multi-UAV, obtaining and showing the real-time flight parameters, updating the real-time flight routes, storing and playing back data, prompting errors, flying over the horizon and modeling digital elevation, which has achieved the purpose of controlling multi-UAV by a GCS. The experiments showed that the software of GCS ran stably and reliably and it could be used to monitor multi-UAV effectively.
