Your Tasks and Responsibilities
🛠️ Improve the simulation environment in Simulink to generate flight trajectories and simulated radio and inertial measurements of the aircraft and DeckFinder system, including optimising existing models, creating new models and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the simulated data
📡 Introduce the effect of physical obstacles and the aircraft body on radio measurements into the simulation environment, which requires an understanding of radio propagation and the ability to model these effects accurately
🔗 Integrate improvements into the existing test environment to use the simulation for performance and stability testing of DeckFinder software, which requires an understanding of software integration and testing methodologies
🗺️ Conduct a simulation study to determine the best ground segment unit (GSU) placement and optimal trajectory planning, taking into account served volume, antenna radiation pattern and geometric dilution of precision (GDOP)
🧪 Conduct a feasibility study on how to integrate radio frequency effects of radio airborne and ground pair into the simulation environment, modeling antenna radiation pattern, position and attitude and integrating these models into the existing environment
