Abstract
The FPGA flight controller revolutionizes drone technology with unmatched stability and precision. Integrated with an IMU and advanced sensors like the MPU 6050, it ensures accurate positioning critical for reliable UAV operation. Its efficient real-time data processing and seamless sensor communication enhance performance and reliability across various conditions. This advancement sets a new standard in UAV technology, suitable for applications ranging from surveillance to disaster relief. An aircraft’s flight control system (FCS) is a crucial part. It enables the pilot to keep an eye on the aircraft’s attitude, direction, and flying forces while in flight. A flight control system controls the inputs required to move the control surfaces so that the pilot can keep an eye on the aircraft. They consist of the controls for the aircraft engine, the cockpit, the connecting wires, and the essential operational mechanisms. Because there are no additional backup systems for a standard mechanical flight control system, a system failure can have disastrous consequences. As a result, designing a system with a significant degree of redundancy and fault tolerance is essential. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to use a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to develop and implement a flight control system. The FPGA-based flight control system (FCS) has various beneficial applications and outperforms both the DSP chip-based UAV flight management system and the traditional microcontroller in terms of functionality. Four modules make up the overall flight control system: the Avalon bus control component sensor driver component, flight control module, and navigational instruction management module.
