As unmanned aerial vehicles become increasingly more autonomous and ubiquitous, system hardware and software designers will need to consider the additional system requirements that come with increased levels of autonomy. From system design stages through testing and deployment, autonomous UAV architectures will need to be modular, open, and provide visibility for operators and testers. These future UAVs will need to embrace open and extensible architectures that can be configured and deployed for robust and safe autonomous operation. In addition, the systems will operate with varying levels of human interaction and will require the ability to process sensor data onboard and to operate using high-level, autonomous behaviors. This chapter describes hardware and software architecture components that enable autonomous flight operation. It also presents some recommended architectural approaches and best practices. Finally, a case study is presented of the hardware and software architecture for an autonomous UAV research platform.
