Design of Flight Performance Calculation Component for UAV Mission Planning Based on Performance Data Package

Abstract

The UAV mission planning performance calculation component is part of the mission planning system of common ground station, it can provide basic data for conflict detection and mission rehearsal during mission planning, and help mission planners understand and check the compatibility of mission routes with aircraft performance, mission safety and expected performance state. This paper designs and develops a common flight performance calculation software component compatible with the “UAV Common Mission Planning System”. It is designed to obtain aircraft information and performance parameters of each flight phase through interpolating the UAV performance data package. After replacing the aircraft performance data package, it can meet the mission planning performance calculations of other types of aircraft, at the same time, the performance component performs well in terms of calculation time, calculation accuracy, and consumption of computer physical resources. This paper describes the performance calculation component from the perspective of software design, software implementation and software testing.
