fixedwingMissionParser

Generate trajectory for fixed-wing UAV from mission

Since R2022b

Description

The fixedwingMissionParser object parses the mission defined in a uavMission object and generates a flight trajectory as a fixedwingFlightTrajectory object.

Creation

Syntax

parser = fixedwingMissionParser

parser = fixedwingMissionParser(Name=Value)

Description

parser = fixedwingMissionParser creates a fixed-wing UAV mission parser parser.

parser = fixedwingMissionParser(Name=Value) specifies properties using one or more name-value arguments.

example

Properties

expand all

`TransitionRadius` — Transition radius (m)
`10` (default) | positive numeric scalar

Transition radius for computing trajectory waypoints based on the mission definition, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in meters.

Example: fixedwingMissionParser(mission,TransitionRadius=3)

`TakeoffPitch` — Takeoff pitch angle (°)
`5` (default) | positive scalar

Takeoff pitch angle, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in degrees. This value specifies the angle between the flight path of the UAV and the horizontal plane during the takeoff action.

Example: fixedwingMissionParser(mission,TakeoffPitch=8)

Object Functions

`copy`	Copy mission parser
`parse`	Generate trajectory in local NED frame

Generate Flight Trajectory for UAV Mission

Open Live Script

Create a UAV mission by using the flight plan stored in a .plan file and show the mission.

mission = uavMission(PlanFile="flight.plan");
show(mission);
axis equal

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel East (m), ylabel North (m) contains 10 objects of type line, text.

Create parsers for a multirotor UAV and a fixed-wing UAV.

mrmParser = multirotorMissionParser(TransitionRadius=2,TakeoffSpeed=2);
fwmParser = fixedwingMissionParser(TransitionRadius=15,TakeoffPitch=10);

Generate one flight trajectory using each parser.

mrmTraj = parse(mrmParser,mission);
fwmTraj = parse(fwmParser,mission);

Visualize the waypoints, flight trajectory and body frames for each UAV.
