On Modeling and Verifying of Application Protocols of TTCAN in Flight-Control System with UPPAAL

TTCAN is the most potential protocol used to construct the communication layer of flight control system of unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV). In this paper, we propose a novel UAV flight control system design which is based on TTCAN. We not only design the model of the system but also verify its non-functional properties such as reliability, security, schedulability and fault-tolerance ability with the model checker UPPAAL. In addition, we design 58 timed automata to verify UAV flight control system. The result of the experiment is also demonstrated to illustrate that the system is feasible and reliable.
