An unmanned vehicle's flight controller, also referred to as an FC, FCB (flight control board), FMU (flight management unit), or autopilot, is a combination of hardware and software that is responsible for interfacing with a variety of onboard sensors and control systems in order to facilitate remote control or provide fully autonomous control.
A key event within this time period included the first flight of a plane under Linux in mid 2014. [16] Late 2014 saw the formation of DroneCode, [17] formed to bring together the leading open source UAV software projects, and most notably to solidify the relationship and collaboration of the ArduPilot and the PX4 projects. ArduPilot's ...
Flight mode is operational from take-off, until shortly before the aircraft lands, around 100 feet above ground level. It can be lost prematurely as a result of pilot commands or system failures. Loss of normal law as a result of a system failure results in alternate law 1 or 2. [8]
[2] In 2010, the Marksman systems in service in Finland were moved to war-time storage. [3] In 2015 work began to install the system on the Leopard 2A4 chassis in order to make up for the loss of mobile anti-aircraft coverage when the Marksman was originally retired. [4] The new Leopard 2 Marksman was scheduled to enter service in 2016. [5 ...
The flight controllers in the FCR and MPSR are further supported by hardware and software designers, analysts and engineering specialists in other parts of the building or remote facilities. These extended support teams have more detailed analysis tools and access to development and test data that is not readily accessible to the flight control ...
The "targets" for guidance systems are one or more state vectors (position and velocity) and can be inertial or relative. During powered flight, guidance is continually calculating steering directions for flight control. For example, the Space Shuttle targets an altitude, velocity vector, and gamma to drive main engine cut off.
The Coleco Telstar Marksman, commonly abbreviated as Telstar Marksman, is a first-generation home video game console that featured a light gun. It was released by Coleco in 1978. Because it had a manufacturer-set number of games, it is considered a dedicated console .
Sublogic began a new flight simulator, but in late 1995 was acquired by Sierra, [8] which completed the program and released it as Pro Pilot in 1997. Moment continues to run the present Sublogic Corporation as a generic simulation company, in addition to being an airshow display pilot with his Classic Airshow company.
