This work proposes the development of an embedded system compatible with any Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remotely controlled by radio, which is able to perform the control of an UAV and monitor and store all flight data for later retrieval and analysis. This will allow the future identification of stability patterns of a vehicle, identification and quantification of instabilities occurrences, and aid the discovery of the causes of accidents. The proposed solution allows the replication of experiments in order to perform the characterization of UAVs. In the presented experiments, the vehicle was controlled using remote control channels and all flight data was stored. Disturbances were added to the vehicle during testings and the system was able to detect them.
