UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM An onboard system for controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (10). The system comprises: a flight management system (40) configured for controlling flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle (10); a mission control module (2) configured to send commands to the flight management system (40) for guiding the unmanned aerial vehicle (10) to perform a mission; a safety module (8) configured to communicate commands to the flight management system (40) for guiding the unmanned aerial vehicle (10) to fly in a safe mode; a communication control component (6) which is switchable between a mission state in which the flight management system (40) receives commands from the mission control module (2) and a safety state in which the flight management system (40) receives commands from the safety module (8); and a monitor module (4) configured to determine whether a trigger condition warranting a change in mode is present or not and to cause the communication control component (6) to switch from the mission state to the safety state when the trigger condition is present. co co Z 0 0ncnc - 0 DuJc o -0 -CnL -U < 0 0u U (NU 0 -o U (N I 0 z I 0 co(N 1Z 40 <0 C OD -j IC) (D
