Multi-redundancy unmanned aerial vehicle data transmission system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-redundancy unmanned aerial vehicle data transmission system and method. An onboard data redundancy fusion computer obtains flight telemetry data and video image data inreal time; data are selected according to a link data selection mechanism and are packaged; the data are transmitted to a ground data redundancy fusion computer via a corresponding data link channel;and the ground data redundancy fusion computer receives data packets from the data link channels in real time and obtains a data type to which data contents belong according to a data type identifier,verifies the correctness of the data via a verification bit and discards the data of the same data type which arrive through the other data link channels according to a data sequence identifier. According to the multi-redundancy unmanned aerial vehicle data transmission system and method, transmission data contents are selectively selected corresponding to different data link characteristics through the link data selection mechanism, thereby improving the data transmission stability and reliability under the condition of meeting the data transmission content requirements maximally, and improving the information transmission breadth and speed.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a redundant unmanned aerial vehicle data transmission technology. Background technique

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, referred to as UAV) is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. With the rapid development of drone technology, drones have been widely used in civil industries such as urban management, agriculture, geology, meteorology, electric power, emergency rescue, and video shooting.

[0003] Existing UAV data transmission systems usually use radio wave uplink and downlink channels to transmit data. The ground equipment packs the flight mission control commands into an instruction form and sends them to the UAV through the radio wave uplink channel. The on-board flight control computer of the UAV decodes the instructions to obtain signals such as switches or continuous instruc...
