Abstract: A system and method establish bidirectional communication between an UAV terminal and a GCS terminal. Each terminal includes first and second communication modules. The first communication module is based on a radio module and the second communication module is based on wireless communication for data transfer. Through the radio module, the first communication unit of GCS terminal requests the UAV terminal to activate the second communication unit. The flight control data is then transmitted to the UAV terminal from the GCS terminal where the flight mission is planned and optimized.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for repositioning an UAV swarm during a flight mission. The system comprises a 3D animation generator and a mission generator. A 3D animation generator is a tool that generates animation of flight mission planning that includes building a formation that depicts a figure formation, selecting a set of key nodes, where each key node corresponds to UAV, as such when all key nodes are combined, they represent the figure formation. Distance control algorithm is applied to the flight mission planning animation. Optimized 3D animation is shared with the mission generator that builds the actual flight mission planning files. Trajectory planning, optimization, mapping, mission planning, and visualization is executed based on the animation report to generate a flight mission file. The flight mission file is recorded into UAVs to execute the flight mission.
