Abstract

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) can control and take various task equipments, able to fly freely and fulfill tasks. GCS (Ground Control System), working as the Â¿nerve centerÂ¿, plays an important role in UAV Simulation Training System. One perfect GCS simulation needs interoperable host computers to communicate together. GCS simulates mainly the function of telecontrol and telemetry. The entire GCS system based on the architecture of normal PC net is the realize of UAV Simulation Training System in the computer. Its hardware architecture is based on distributed computer platform, and its software uses the Client/Server model. In this paper we use VC++6.0 as a simulation tool and design the software of UAV Ground Control System based on the study and analysis of its function requirements, at the same time we analyze the key technique and difficulty it concerns. At last, this system is proved correct by debugging and testing.
