Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop a cost-effective, domestic ground control station (GCS) interface and modular hardware architecture for telemetry systems used in critical missions, such as those involving unmanned systems. Real-time tracking of sensor data is crucial to the perception-orientation-decision-action cycle, enabling operators to make informed decisions in mere seconds. The increasing use of low-cost commercial systems in current operational environments has made data integrity and command and control reliability fundamental requirements for the VCS. The developed VCS features a modular architecture comprising multiple microcontrollers at the hardware layer and a Windows Forms .NET interface, written in the C# programming language, at the software layer. The software uses an event-driven approach via the UART/serial port protocol to reliably parse incoming telemetry packets and update graphical panels in real-time.

Özet

Bu çalışma, insansız sistemler gibi kritik görevlerde kullanılan telemetri sistemlerine yönelik, yerli ve maliyet etkin bir yer kontrol istasyonu (YKİ) arayüzü ve modüler bir donanım mimarisi geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Sensör verilerinin gerçek zamanlı takibi, operatörün saniyeler içinde doğru kararları alabilmesini sağlayan algılama-yönelim-karar-eylem döngüsü için hayati önem taşımaktadır. Özellikle, düşük maliyetli ticari sistemlerin güncel operasyonel ortamlardaki artan kullanımı, YKİ’nin veri bütünlüğü ve komuta-kontrol güvenilirliğini temel bir gereksinim haline getirmiştir. Geliştirilen YKİ, donanım katmanında birden fazla mikrodenetleyici içeren modüler bir mimariyi ve yazılım katmanında C# programlama dili ile Windows Forms .NET tabanlı bir arayüzü bütünleştirmektedir. Yazılım, UART/seri port protokolü üzerinden olay güdümlü bir yaklaşımla çalışarak gelen telemetri paketlerini güvenilir bir şekilde ayrıştırmakta ve grafik panellerini anlık olarak güncellemektedir.
