1 Development, Certification, and Flight Testing of an OPA for UAS FTT Development and Training at NTPS 2013 SFTE/SETP Flight Test Symposium Evolution of Flight Testing from Manned Vehicles to UAVs 1
2 Overview Introduction NTPS C-150 OPA ~ System Overview ~ Ground Testing ~ Flight Testing ~ Certification and Limitation Reduction RPV/CDV FTT Development ~ Specific FTTs ~ Outcomes and Observations Current RPV Flight Test Courses Lessons Learned 2
3 National Test Pilot School Only SETP recognized civilian test pilot school Educate and train TPs and FTEs to successfully plan, execute, and report on flight test programs Year long professional course and master s degree program Scheduled and on-demand short courses Underlying philosophy of flight testing is continually reinforced 3
4 RPV Short Course Background NTPS began offering a two-week RPV flight test short course in 2006 Initially RPV FTT demonstrations were limited to simulation In order to enhance the realism and value of training it was necessary for NTPS to acquire a platform 4
5 C-150 OPA Overview Why an OPA? ~ Operate from KMHV ~ Operate within the NAS ~ No significant weather or range lim. Standard Cessna 150L (N18531) Cloud Cap Piccolo II Autopilot ~ Integrated 900MHz C 2 Datalink ~ Integrated GPS/INS ~ Air Data Input ~ Payload Interfaces Autopilot Control ~ Elevator ~ Aileron ~ Throttle 5

17 RPV/CDV FTT Development Standardized FTTs specifically designed for RPV/CDV not yet developed Diversity adds significant further complexity to the FTT development NTPS needed to develop FTTs to demonstrate during the RPV course Applied FTTs for manned aircraft to identify which transferred to RPV/CDV Initially focused strictly on P&FQ FTTs NTPS Volume X, Fixed Wing Flight Test Handbook, was used as the primary reference for the accepted manned fixed wing P&FQ FTTs 17

19 GPS Method PEC FTT Position Error Correction ~ Best for airspeed position error ΔV pc ~ CDV Commanding Track vs. Hdg ~ RPV Directly Transfers Modified Tower Flyby ~ Best for altitude position error ΔH pc ~ CDV Commanding AGL (Laser Alt/DGPS) ~ RPV Unable to meet required precision/low Alt. CDV Combined PEC FTT ~ GPS for ΔVpc and mod. tower flyby for ΔHpc ~ No additional onboard instrumentation required Potential certification criteria related to measured static and total pressure errors 19
20 Dynamic Stability Baseline aircraft-powerplant combination could not be directly evaluated in CDV or RPV modes Directly injected commands through GCS Singlet/Doublet Inputs specified amp. and freq. Capable of extremely precise inputs Following input controls were fixed for a specified duration Terminate during maneuver autopilot resumes control at initial commanded condition 20
21 Flying Qualities Limited evaluation of RPV flying qualities Tasks focused on ISR mission Area of flight testing with the most significant differences from manned aircraft Anticipated to be the focus of future research UAV Flying Qualities Rating Scale ~ Developed by C. Cotting at Virginia Tech ~ Derived from Cooper-Harper ~ Rates mission effectiveness of UAS and sensor ~ Disturbance levels must be specified for task 21

23 Outcomes and Observations Many fundamental considerations and FTTs employed for the manned flight test are congruent for RPV/CDV Requires unique approaches to effectively execute CDV/RPV flight testing Different methods of control require significant differences in the required modification to manned FTTs Both CDVs and RPVs have advantages and disadvantages Primary issue with executing a particular FTT was the inability to maintain constant control position Benefit of flight test GCS application setting modes and sending inputs 23
24 Current RPV Courses Independent professional course RPV flight test module Two week RPV flight test short course scheduled twice yearly Short courses as requested by various organizations Students have been extremely satisfied with their experience ~ Prof. course students have requested further OPA implementation 24
25 Lessons Learned Onboard safety pilot was found to be invaluable ~ Significant reduction in the cost and time associated with flight testing ~ Rapid convergence to a stable optimized system ~ Reduces criticality level of malfunctions Optimized response is likely unsuitable for an OPA due to pilot comfort Special care should be given to defining and briefing GCS versus Safety Pilot knock-it-off criteria Knock-it-off execution is not trivial and needs to be planned and briefed An OPA flight test mission has been found to involve significantly more personnel than a manned aircraft flight test Additional considerations required due to the increased complexity of CRM Control room integration has significantly enhanced the learning experience 25
