Structure and Software Elements of Enavi Radar for Large Drones

Abstract

A growing number of flying devices in use results in an increased risk of their collisions. Anti-collision radars for small piloted aircraft are becoming increasingly common. Therefore it is also vital to equip drones, especially those large in size, with such radars.The topic of this paper is the construction of an anti-collision radar for Class 3 drones. A usable model of the hardware, and partly also of the software component, has already been developed. In order to choose the best solution for the software unit in the given class, a programming model of this radar, comprising both the analogue and the digital part, has been prepared. It is of particular importance especially as the large number of possible solutions requires prior modelling and determining the optimal parameter values, mainly when it comes to the emitted signals and echo detection.
