Electronic flight data acquisition system for remotely piloted aircraft

This article presents data acquisition system developed for the use primarily in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems. The system consists of several modules which independently function as Air Data Computer, Attitude and Heading Reference System and Flight Data Recorder. Each module works independently from other modules and also provides capability of real time data transmission. The system is capable of wireless data transmission via ZigBee wireless data protocol. The research may be considered as important and valuable due to the fact that it describes innovative concept of “wireless sensors” system. These type of systems are currently only beginning to appear in commercial applications and such wireless systems appear to be a future of metrology in RPAS applications. Features of each module are stated in the article. The prototype device has been tested and confirmed to be operationally functional.
