Flight Safety System for Unmanned Air Vehicle

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A Flight Safety System (RAFS) for multiple, reliable Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV’s) capable of
flying Over-the-Horizon (OTH) and outside test range airspace. In addition to the flight safety
application, the described full-duplex data link is suitable as a backup command and control link for
UAV’s, and for sensor control & data exfiltration.
The IRIDIUM satellite system was selected to provide the communications link and because of its
global coverage and requisite data throughputs.
A Risk Reduction activity ensued to quantify IRIDIUM performance. Hardware and software was
developed to demonstrate the feasibility of using IRIDIUM in a flight safety scenario.
