| The use of UAVs is gaining popularity due to their effectiveness in unfavorable situations, such as isolated or difficult-to-access areas. Their flight speed and altitude allow them to cover large areas quickly. UAVs are increasingly utilized in critical missions by sectors such as firefighting, lifeguarding, mountain rescue, and first aid. These sectors recognize the value of drones for rapid search and rescue operations.
The "Flyox I" is a remotely piloted seaplane created by Singular Aircraft. It is designed to carry payloads for agricultural, firefighting, surveillance, and general cargo transport missions. This document explains the procedure for implementing a satellite link between the UAV "Flyox I" and its ground station. The project addresses the drawbacks of current radio links, namely limited data transmission capacity and the requirement for visual line-of-sight (VLOS) conditions. These issues can be mitigated using a satellite link. The ultimate goal is to achieve a homogeneous communications system, enabling the drone to operate under any conditions using both radio and satellite links. The project is structured as follows: First, it will be described the current communications system of the "Flyox I" UAV and the improvements expected with the satellite link. Next, it will be discussed the current and additional hardware required for integration tests and how to adapt it to the new communication protocol. Finally, it will be analyzed the different integration tests and procedures needed to achieve the desired results. Security concerns related to using high-frequency antennas will also be considered. |
