Method and system for controlling remotely piloted aircraft
First Claim
1. A method for modifying flight parameters of a remotely piloted aircraft, wherein the remotely piloted aircraft comprises:
- a clock;
at least one radio receiver and at least one radio transmitter for communicating with at least one radio transmitter of a ground station, via at least one radio communication network, which ground station is equipped with a clock; and
a controller for controlling movements of the remotely piloted aircraft using flight parameters;
the method comprising;
the remotely piloted aircraft analysing a communication between the remotely piloted aircraft and the ground station by calculating a communication quality; and
the remotely piloted aircraft modifying at least one flight parameter based on the calculated communication quality and pre-loaded instructions, wherein the pre-loaded instructions comprise at least one threshold value of the communication quality and allowed flight parameters.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a system for modifying flight parameters of a remotely piloted aircraft. The remotely piloted aircraft includes a clock, at least one radio receiver and at least one radio transmitter for communicating with at least one radio transmitter of a ground station, via at least one radio communication network. The method includes analysing a communication between the remotely piloted aircraft and the ground station, such as calculating a communication quality. The method also includes modifying at least one flight parameter based on the calculated communication quality and pre-loaded instructions. The pre-loaded instructions comprise at least one threshold value of the communication quality and allowed flight parameters.

16. A system for modifying flight parameters of a remotely piloted aircraft, comprising:
-
a remotely piloted aircraft comprising; a clock; at least one radio receiver and at least one radio transmitter; a controller for controlling movements of the remotely piloted aircraft using flight parameters; and a processor communicably coupled to the clock, the at least one radio receiver, at least one radio transmitter and the controller; a ground station comprising; a clock; and at least one radio receiver and at least one radio transmitter; and at least one radio communication network; wherein the processor is configured to analyse a communication received by the at least one radio receiver by calculating a communication quality, and to instruct the controller to modify at least one flight parameter based on the calculated communication quality and pre-loaded instructions, wherein the pre-loaded instructions comprise at least one threshold value of the communication quality and allowed flight parameters. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
