Satellite telemetry system and network performance evaluation for long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)

该公司正在开发一种远程汽油动力无人机（UAV），能够在飞行高度高达17，000英尺的情况下承载高达250公斤的载荷，航程可能超过1，500公里。高于海平面。这种无人机被设计成在很大程度上自动化的机队中运行，将成为服务于加拿大偏远社区和世界其他地区利益的重要工具。为了安全和经济地执行这些雄心勃勃的任务，无人机需要一个复杂的监控系统，目前正在部分开发。该项目将加强这一系统，纳入一个卫星调制解调器，并提供在蜂窝网络和卫星网络之间无缝切换的能力，同时考虑到对数据传输的高度可变和不可预测的需求。此外，该项目将研究先进的网络

The company is developing a long-range, gasoline powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of carrying loads of up to 250 kg for ranges that may exceed 1,500 km at flight altitudes of up to 17,000 ft. above sea level. This UAV is being designed to operate in largely automated fleets and will be an important tool to serve the interests of Canada's remote communities and other parts of the world. To perform such ambitious missions safely and cost effectively, the UAV requires a sophisticated monitoring system that is partially developed at present. The project will enhance this system by incorporating a satellite modem and providing the ability to switch seamlessly between cellular and satellite networks, taking into account highly variable and unpredictable demands for data transmissions. Furthermore, the project will examine advanced network
