latitude double Yes Latitude in decimal degrees.
longitude double Yes Longitude in decimal degrees.
altitude int Yes Height of the UAV in meters, based on GPS altitude AMSL.
altitudeAccuracy int No Accuracy level of the altitude coordinate in meters.
accuracy int No Accuracy level of the latitude and longitude coordinates in meters.
callSign string No UAV call-sign.
groundSpeed int No Current ground speed of the UAV, specified in meters per second.
course int No Direction of travel, specified in degrees counting clockwise relative to the true north.
