A UAV Skydog as a Platform for a Research and a Development of Advanced Control Systems

The article is focused on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Skydog., which is used as a platform for an advanced control system development. A research that was done in area of a UAV control., flight phase classification and sensors., is used to improve mathematical model of the UAV., created in simulation environment Matlab/Simulink. The mathematical model is identical to the real UAV model; hence it can be used as a platform for the advanced system development. The focus of the article is to define concept of the UAV“s integrated system., which consists of advanced control system., advanced flight phase classification system., diagnostics system and improved sensors.
