#FUTURE UAV FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALL#

The novelty of this study is proposing secure continuous connectivity of the UAV communication and control system even during the occurrence of a network switch, which is one of the important factor in the heterogeneous network environment. Experimentally, an autopilot mission is designed and uploaded to the flight controller where UAV and ED are forced to switch access network between cellular network LTE and 802.11a IEEE wireless local area network in specific waypoints. Moreover, the pilot transmits commands through the remote desktop protocol or secure shell protocol. An ED can be any smart device connected to the Internet with the ability to run the remote protocols, which allows the pilot to send commands and receives data from UAV.

#FUTURE UAV FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALL#

In the prototype the UAV flight controller can install a ground control station application on the UAV board. NTMobile enhances the security and maintain mobility by generating keys and building tunnel using virtual IPs for two nodes inside the network. Network traversal with mobility (NTMobile) offers a secured communication for UAV through a public network infrastructure.

In the new technology, a pilot can control UAV via an end device (ED)-secured communication without any information about the network architectures, network address translation types, Internet protocol version. UAV is controlled over the Internet to resolve a long-range communication barrier and to improve remote sensing. In this paper, a secured unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted heterogeneous network environment, and seamless IP prototype is proposed.
