Collision avoidance of Smart UAV in multiple intruders

Collision avoidance of UAV is an important function required from pilots and traffic controller as it intends to fly in the airspace of manned aircraft. It is implemented into Smart UAV which the flight test for automatic take-off, conversion and mission flight was conducted successfully last year. Prior to flight test for collision avoidance, the hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) test is conducted in order to verify system operation and avoidance algorithm. Intruders are simulated through virtual aircraft models on the ground and transmitted to digital flight control computer (DFCC). The detection and avoidance algorithm is implemented to the operational flight program (OFP) in DFCC. This paper gives the description for the configuration of collision avoidance system, HILS system and the result for the simulation test in the case of multiple intruders.
