Summary:When an unmanned helicopter flies far from an operator, it is very difficult for the operator to recognize the position, posture and working progress of the helicopter. One of the solutions is to develop a monitoring system enables the operator to grasp the state of flying helicopter. The objective of this study is to develop the monitoring system to support the remote sensing using an unmanned helicopter. The radio transmitter was adopted to transmit the position and posture data from the helicopter to the base station on the ground. The base station was composed of the radio receiver and a note type PC. The received helicopter information was visually displayed on the developed software. In addition to the position and posture's display, the software also offers the working progress because the sensed field area can be calculated by the position and posture of the helicopter. Furthermore, it is possible to view the helicopter's condition from the various view points by applying 3-dimensional graphics.
