In Singapore, will create a flight control system of drones

Nanyang Technological University of Singapore has started to develop the flight control system of unmanned aerial vehicles, which will be able to track airborne drones.

According to N + 1, the implementation of the project will take four years to plan. The project envisages the creation of a network of monitoring stations that will track the altitude, direction, speed and other parameters of the flight drones and drones can transmit commands, which help avoid collisions drones. In addition, researchers must also develop rules drones flying in the same airspace. vermox

Development of the project is conducted in cooperation with the Office of Civil Aviation of Singapore. The preliminary design of the system to be presented before the end of this year. In 2018, developers are going to hold full-scale testing of the system and begin its gradual implementation from 2021 year. retin-a

The Singapore project drone flight control system - is not the only one of its kind. So, last fall, space agency NASA has conducted tests of their own system, which involved a total of 11 different types of unmanned aircraft and helicopter types. NASA system involves the use of a central data server and special controls drones that transmit information to the server of the takeoff and landing UAV, its planned flight path, altitude and coordinates system. Based on these data, the system gives permission to take off other devices or proposes to revise the route.
