On the problem of the manned aircraft modification to UAVs

Abstract

The paper considers the experience of the manned aircraft modification to UAVs and technological solutions for the manned transport aircraft modification to UAVs. A sequence of stages in the implementation of the task of the manned aircraft modification to UAVs based on the presented review is formulated. The paper presents that the developed or converted UAVs have different software and hardware platforms; therefore, the importance of their cross-platform organization is noted. The basic principles, the typical architecture of the UAVs control platform is based on, including on-board software, are formulated. This creates the background for the development of the on-board software technology concerning the automation of the architectural design of the subsystem software and the automation of the system testing design of the software based on the formalized specifications.
