Page 3: General System Introduction
UAV huge navigation accuracy and control. On the ground segment, we have both U-Ground and U-See. U-Ground is a control station with the other end of the radio link communicating the U-Pilot with the U-See software. -
Page 4: Concept Of System Operation
Concept of system operation Concept of system operation The system is made up of an U-Pilot installed on an aircraft connected to the U-Ground through a radio link. (See figure 1 attached below) The U-Ground has its own radio link to communicate with the U-Pilot. It also has an RS-232 output to relay the data to a PC running U-See to allow control from the End User. -

U-Ground OneBoard U-Ground OneBoard The U-Ground OneBoard hardware is the link between our U-Pilot and the computer running U- See that finally controls the mission. U-Ground OneBoard has an integrated GPS to track its own position and standard PWM outputs to allow the steering of directional antennas towards the UAV to maintain a stable video link. - Page 6 Square Wave Audible White-Purple-Black Signal Table 1: U-Ground OneBoard main connector reference table Note: At least one GND has to be connected to ground, the other GND pins are optional. All the GND pins are connected internally between them. Figure 3: Contacts layout for the main connector...

Page 7: Communications
Communications Communications Communication between the U-Pilot and the U-Ground OneBoard is done by a Radio Link with High noise immunity, high reliability and a range of 100 km. All the settings regarding the radio configuration is done by Airelectronics when the units are produced, so you do not have to worry about the communications, it is completely plug and play. - Page 8 Alarms lines. These lines are designed to give a 3.3V TTL signal of high when the alarm is active and low when the signal is not toggled. The maximum signal strength the U-Ground is capable of driving is 25 mA.
- Page 9 U-Ground OneBoard User Manual - Alarms The audible tone generated at current revision are 3 beeps of half a second duration and variable pitch in function of the toggled alarm. An audible tone will be generated any time an alarms toggles from deactivated to active. If more than one alarm is triggered at the same time, the ground station will generate tones for every one of the alarms in a sequential manner.
