摘要

This research documents performance measures for an autonomous navigation system serving as the controller for an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that is flying a mission profile suited for production agriculture. The aircraft is a single engine, fixedwing type with high efficiency characteristics allowing long flight duration with minimal energy consumption. The combination of autonomous navigation and efficient aircraft will allow the placement of aerial sensor systems over considerable expanses ofland and large agricultural production operations, such as those found in the Great Plains and Midwest. Deployment of UAS in production agriculture will require that onboard navigation systems guide the aircraft according to predefined flight plans, sothat sensors can be placed at the appropriate location in both space and time. Research under this project involved defining a flight plan that would allow for sequential transit of the fixed wing UAS across a rectangular field, such that optical data could be collected for subsequent analysis. A transit pattern involving rectangular loops, with each complete loop shifting incrementally across the field, was selected to test the navigation system. This paper presents results of test flights to explore potential measures of performance for path-tracking capability based on analysis of the flight computer data. In summary, opening of the National Air Space to unmanned aircraft systems will be a "game changer" for the agricultural industry. UAS will offeran unparalleled opportunity to place crop and soil sensors, robotics, and advanced information systems at more timely and desired field locations for increasing production and improving efficiency of agricultural operations. The results of this researchshow great promise for currently available autonomous navigation systems guiding single engine, fixed wing unmanned aircraft for placement of sensors at specific locations over large parcels of agricultural land.
