Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has typically been used in civil and military field all over the world. Based on the UAV mission of autonomous flight, the ground control station (GCS) including hardware and software become important equipment to be developed. This paper emphasizes three parts to build a well functioning ground control station: a portable ground station hardware system, a virtual instrument panel for the attitude information and flight path showing, all kinds of error alert. Through the whole test on the ground and in the sky, GCS can show the remote sensing information precisely and send the control command in time. The system can be also used to assist in the function of autonomous cruise task for UAV.
