Abstract EN
Over the last decades, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have gained much attention due to their various applications in different sections.
However, their communication range is limited to utilized communication equipment.
Therefore, utilization of GSM channels opens a new prospect towards long distance UAV missions and mobile command and control centers.
This paper demonstrates new design and development of a small-scale UAV and a Ground Control Station (GCS) using GSM bidirectional communications for Non-Line of Sight (NLoS) long range control.
GCSs are considered the front end node in UAV guidance process.
Therefore, the proposed GCS employs a two-layer framework to consider all ground pilot requirements.
Moreover, a new exploitation of global weather forecast data is added to the GCS.
On the other hand, the proposed airborne system utilizes a new integration of different Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) components and excludes short range receivers.
The ground and flight tests show that stable bidirectional GSM communication is established, reliable hardware integration is accomplished, real time performance is achieved, GCS functional fidelity is obtained, and low cost is maintained.
Finally, some qualitative aspects of the proposed platform are presented to address the detailed features.
