TL;DR: In this article, a ground station of a universalized configurable UAV consisting of a task planning module, a HOTAS (Hands on the Throttle and Stick) and pedal manipulation data acquisition module is presented.
Abstract: The invention discloses a ground station of a universalized configurable unmanned aerial vehicle, belonging to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle control. The ground station comprises a task planning module, a HOTAS (Hands on the Throttle and Stick) and pedal manipulation data acquisition module, a voice identifying and alarming module, an electronic flying information module and a multi-point touch module which are deployed on a computer A, and a flying information communication module, a training communication module, an aircraft adapting module, a databank module, a voice and video acquisition module and a 3D (Three-dimensional) view display module which are deployed on a computer B. On the basis that the psychological and physiological characteristics of a unmanned aerial vehicle manipulator are considered, the comprehensive problems of flying control and task control, and the problems of three-dimensional information sensation and fatigue caused by long-time operation are solved well; the universalization of the ground station of the unmanned aerial vehicle is realized; and the repeated construction is reduced.

20 Feb 2008TL;DR: In this article, a method for controlling an aircraft by a hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) includes selectively connecting, by the HOTAS, two interfaces of a controller for the aircraft.
Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling an aircraft by a hands on throttle-and- stick (HOTAS) includes selectively connecting, by the HOTAS, two interfaces of a controller for the aircraft. The selective connection is made through one of a plurality of possible paths. Each path has an expected respective voltage drop within a predetermined range. The selected one of the possible paths connecting the two interfaces is determined by determining an actual voltage drop associated with the selected path. A control operation for the aircraft is effected by the controller based on the determined selected path. The method reduces the number of required electrical connections.

TL;DR: DASH, a display and sight helmet system which measures the pilot's line of sight and transfers the information to other aircraft systems, thus enabling the pilot to achieve lock-on of sensors, avionics, and weapons onto a target simply by looking at it, is described.
Abstract: A description is given of DASH, a display and sight helmet system which measures the pilot's line of sight and transfers the information to other aircraft systems, thus enabling the pilot to achieve lock-on of sensors, avionics, and weapons onto a target simply by looking at it. Crucial information, such as line of sight, TD boxes, flight information, status, and warnings, is displayed directly in front of the pilot on the helmet visor, eliminating the need to glance inward at the instrument panel or head-up display. With expanded lock-on envelope, shorted aerial engagement, increased survivability, user-friendly display and HOTAS controls, the system proved to be a true revolution in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. The author gives a technical description of the system, discusses its operational aspects, and addresses future programs and developments. >

TL;DR: The detailed requirements of the simulation of MFD in a virtual cockpit were analyzed and a complete resolution of simulating modern CRT or LCD MFDs in a HMD-based virtual cockpit was given using OpenGL and VTree SDK.
Abstract: The simulation of Multi-Function Displays in a virtual cockpit must meet some special requirements. Firstly, the detailed requirements of the simulation of MFD in a virtual cockpit were analyzed. Secondly, a complete resolution of simulating modern CRT or LCD MFDs in a HMD-based virtual cockpit was given using OpenGL and VTree SDK. Finally, the method of controlling the MFDs was introduced with a HOTAS system and data glove in a virtual cockpit.
