Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Data Model

The growing adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in diverse sectors, such as agriculture, surveillance, and disaster management, highlights the pressing need for a standardized data model to enable efficient management, integration, and analysis. This paper proposes a simplified and universally applicable data model for UAVs, emphasizing the clear representation of technical specifications, key components, and real-time operational data. The proposed model serves as a digital datasheet, incorporating essential manufacturing information, such as batch number, serial number, manufacturer, and production date, and component specifications, including motors, propellers, sensors, batteries, frames, and wings. Furthermore, it integrates real-time data elements like speed, acceleration, and so on, supporting dynamic monitoring and decision-making processes. By addressing the interoperability challenges, defined as the seamless exchange and understanding of information between systems, this work provides a foundational step toward standardizing UAV data representation, facilitating improved operational efficiency and integration across platforms.
