    摘要: The invention relates to remote control of an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, (100) from a control station (110) by means of a wireless command link (115). The UAV (100) may be controlled in an autonomous mode wherein it flies according to a primary route (R1, R1') defined by a first set of predefined waypoints (WP1-WP8, IP). The UAV (100) may also be controlled in a manual mode wherein it flies according to an alternative primary route (R1') defined in real-time by control commands received via the wireless command link (115). Flight control parameters are monitored in both modes, and in case a major alarm condition occurs, the UAV (100) is controlled to follow an emergency route (R2') defined by a second set of predefined waypoints (HP1-HP7, TP1-TP9, IP). Particularly, a major alarm condition is activated if an engine failure is detected. Then, the emergency route (R2') involves flying the UAV (100) to an air space above a termination waypoint (TP9) on the ground at which it is estimated that the vehicle's (100) flight may be ended without injuring any personnel or causing uncontrolled material damages.

    摘要翻译: 本发明涉及通过无线命令链路(115)从控制站(110)遥控无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)(100)。 无人机(100)可以以自主模式进行控制,其中它根据由第一组预定航路点(WP1-WP8,IP)定义的主路线(R1,R1')飞行。 无人机(100)也可以以手动模式进行控制,其中它根据通过无线命令链路(115)接收的控制命令实时定义的替代主路由(R1')飞行。 在两种模式下监视飞行控制参数,并且在发生主要报警情况的情况下,UAV(100)被控制为遵循由第二组预定义航点(HP1-HP7,TP1-TP9)定义的紧急路线(R2') ,IP)。 特别地,如果检测到发动机故障,则主要报警条件被激活。 然后,紧急路线(R2')涉及将无人机(100)飞到地面上的终点航路点(TP9)之上的空中空间,在该地面上估计车辆(100)航班可能结束,而不会伤害任何人员或 造成不受控制的物质损失。
