In conducting a disaster monitoring mission, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has to travel a long distance to cover the region that is hited by a disaster. In the monitoring mission, Air Data and Attitude Heading Reference System (ADAHRS) data are very important to always be displayed on the ground control station (GCS). Unfortunately, the area of monitoring mission is very wide, whereas the usage of an omnidirectional antenna in the disaster monitoring mission is limited to the UAV maximum range. Therefore, a high gain directional antenna is needed. However, the directional antenna has a disadvantage of always being directed to the target. To solve this problem, antenna tracker is made to track the UAV continuously so that the directional antenna can always be directed to the flying UAV. An antenna tracker using a 32-bit microcontroller and GPS with two degrees-of-freedom was developed. It is able to move 360 degrees on azimuth axis (yaw) and 90 degrees on elevation axis (pitch). Meanwhile, the directional antenna is three elements yagi type with a radiation capability of 6 dBi. By using the antenna tracker, larger UAV range was obtained and the connection between the UAV and the GCS could always be maintained with a minimum fluctuation of RSSI signal, compared to those without using antenna tracker.

A method to analyze the variation of the jamming power received by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) receiver according to the change in the attitude of the small UAV is presented. The main interest of the study is in the variation of the polarization loss factor (PLF) in the UAV jamming link due to attitude change, which may be caused by the wind or intended movement. The attitude change is modeled by a combination of three successive rotations using roll, pitch, and yaw, which are defined as UAV rotations. The proposed method is applied to a jamming link, where a small UAV with an omnidirectional antenna is jammed by a jammer antenna on the ground. The method is applied to a plane ground and over a simulated terrain. The variation of the PLF according to the change of UAV attitude may be higher than the generally expected PLF at locations where the height difference between the UAV and the jammer is large, and near the locations where the jammer is located close to the vertical plane containing the rotation axis when the attitude change is represented by one rotation.

Results of experimental studying radiation spatial structure of atmosphere background nonuniformities and of an unmanned aerial vehicle being the detection object are presented. The question on a possibility of its detection using optoelectronic systems against the background of a cloudy field in the near IR wavelength range is also considered.
