Open Innovation / Sagitta Demonstrator UAV - Utilizing a flexible Real-Time Simulation and Integration Testing environment for Flight Operator and Pilot Training

Dies ist die aktuellste Version dieses Eintrags.

Kurzfassung

The Open Innovation Sagitta project has its focus on the contribution of innovative technologies for the application within the UAV sector. Therein a number of research facilities and academic institutions – under the lead management of Airbus Defence and Space – have been working together in order to resolve relevant scientific questions regarding platform design methods, flight- and mission-management systems, as well as structural design and propulsion related topics. Within the project scope, a scaled demonstrator UAV has been designed and built for in-flight verification of scientific project results. Along with the overall system integration and testing tasks for first flight clearance, an additional focus has been given onto the operational work-flow development, training and emergency procedures for the flight operator and external pilots, as well as for the involved system engineers during flight test operations. This task has been achieved by using the dedicated Simulation and Integration Testing environment (SIT) in combination with the demonstrator aircraft and radio links as test rig, together with some functional extensions. This paper describes the general setup of the SIT environment, the respective data exchange infrastructure, as well as the utilized Simulation models and finally an exemplary training setup as applied during the Sagitta first flight campaign.
