Abstract:
In this paper we discuss practical aspects of conducting parallel beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight operations of highly automated tiltwing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for agricultural land use monitoring. First, the implemented mission control setup, facilitating safe and efficient operations, is presented. We elaborate on the roles of the individual crew members and on the deployed on-site equipment. Furthermore, we offer insights into the planning, monitoring and control of multiple simultaneous BVLOS missions, with special attention to aspects of safe integration into the general airspace.
