UAV Controlling and Monitoring Workstation-UCMW

This paper will present a proposal to build a ground based controlling and monitoring workstation for small sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) using advanced technologies such as Software Defined Radio (SDR), Satellite Internet, WIMAX and Web-GIS-T. The UAV Controlling and Monitoring Workstation (UCMW) is a ground based station where an operator will be able to control and monitor the status of the flight between source and destination. This UCMW system is planned to be specifically designed for the UAVs which are being planned to be used by the Postal and Parcel services for the transportation of daily posts and parcels; it is not limited to only those UAVs but can also be used to control and monitor any kind of compatible UAVs. The simulation of the scenario has been presented in the paper.
