Real-Time Management of Videos for UAS Telemetry System

Abstract

Airborne videos are crucial for monitoring unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). However, the number of videos that could be sent to ground is limited due to the bandwidth of a telemetry system. An architecture of airborne video acquirement system with real-time management is present in this paper. In addition to acquire videos and other data like control commands, that architecture make it possible to manage and switch the videos to be transferred to the ground through telemetry channels for ground real-time monitoring and controlling.
