Research on security monitoring and health management system of UAV

Abstract

The purpose of security monitoring and health management system is to synthesize equipment detection, fault diagnosis, and maintenance management into a whole to establish an integrative maintenance management and support platform based on information of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system and ultimately to realize the autonomous logistics (AL) support. Some functions to realize are: performing security monitoring and failure early-warning for the whole process of UAV involving takeoff, flight, and recovery; continuously recording the telemetry data during flight as well as the equipment operation and maintenance information and integrating these data for performance degrade trend analysis, life-time cumulating, and remaining life forecasting, to diagnose potential failures and provide maintenance suggestion; and providing information integrated management for the whole UAV system. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
