Abstract

Engineering control systems for satellites and drones, as drones are complex technical systems in which no pilot sits. But the name of these planes does not fully indicate the way in which these planes operate. In fact, it does not direct itself completely, but also needs a pilot who sits in the guidance station on the ground, and controls it remotely in a wireless way by means of engineering control, engineering robots, engineering electronic devices and remote control. In fact "Drones" require that they have a pilot at a ground station. This ground pilot is responsible for driving it, ensuring that it does not occur in any accidents, and intervenes in emergency situations. But he does not do this with a joystick like a toy plane’s, but rather he has to determine the plane’s trajectory points, and then the plane directs itself according to these coordinates using its automatic system, that is under the guidance of its automated flight system. “This system is not very different from that of large, modern passenger transport aircraft, which fly long distances completely automatically using autopilot,” says Schmidt, an aviation expert.
