Android Application Design as Ground Control Station (GCS) and Waypoint Navigation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) device consists of several core systems, one of which is the avionics system. This system is part of aircraft control, and the technology developed is a flight controller, communication and Ground Control Station (GCS). Of the three technologies developed in the Avionics system, the development of GCS technology that is used for monitoring UAV conditions and mission input is still using a lot of personal computers so that it is felt to be less efficient for user mobility. Android-based GCS application development has begun to be developed for UAV device developers. From these problems in this study, a solution was made to create an android-based GCS application that can monitor aircraft conditions, remote control controls and can provide waypoint instructions for navigation and storing flight history data. There are 13 types of data that are processed for monitoring, with a range of communications using module telemetry within a maximum radius of 100-150 meters without obstacles or obstructions. Receiving data with an accuracy of 96.12% and a precision level of 0.7%, the average delay obtained is 0.303 s. For maximum video streaming distance that can be reached 100 meters with the fastest streaming speed of 3 Mbps and the longest application can be connected with the flight controller for 60 minutes.
