Abstract:This paper introduces a design of the GCS weapon control module for reconnaissance/attack UAV system, including its composition, working flow, software architecture. This paper also proposes and implements multiple key technologies including the attack route planning algorithm, attacking area calculation and visualization, target information management, reconnaissance video decompression and display and weapon controlling and launching. Flight tests show that the proposed UAV weapon control system supports the UAV weapon’s full attacking cycle comprehensively. It has a good stability, high real-time performance, simple operation and significantly reduces both the operating workload and the failure probability. It increases the automated attacking ability of the reconnaissance/attack UAV system and provides an easy method for the application of the UAV equipped LASER guided missiles.
