The article discusses an approach to the formation of the basic structure of the control system for unmanned aerial vehicles, based on existing system solutions, typical specifications of the developer's boards. The characteristics of an unmanned aerial vehicle of both air and space class are given. General requirements for hardware and peripheral devices of unmanned aerial vehicles have been formed in accordance with their basic operating modes. Based on the obtained and generalized information about the developer's boards, the block-modular structure of the control system for unmanned aerial vehicles is presented. It includes all the main elements of the system and can be expanded by connecting additional boards. The advantage of this structure for debugging purposes is the presence of an FPGA on the development board.
The article presents analysis of the current situation and development trends of the international UAVs cargo market. It is shown that the UAVs market has made a transition from a stage of studying technologies to commercial operation and implementation of finished products. Nowadays it is at the stage of rapid growth. However, a global market for cargo UAVs and commercial services on their basis for transporting bulky goods is still at the early stage of commercial development. At the same time, the trend for the development of cargo UAVs with the large carrying capacity corresponds to the analysis results of the global air cargo market.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
