TL;DR

AirGuardian is a complex of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and ground station UAV hardware and software systems which has been developed at Obuda University to create a generic autopilot capable of controlling different designs, weights and structures of airframes without any complex mathematical model recalculation.

Abstract

AirGuardian is a complex of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and ground station UAV hardware and software systems which has been developed at Obuda University. The hardware and software of the autopilot (AERObot), the antenna tracker station and the ground control station were simultaneously created resulting in the optimal cooperation of the modules. The aim of the research on AERObot – the special autopilot – was to create a generic autopilot which is capable of controlling different designs, weights and structures of airframes without any complex mathematical model recalculation.
