Model Definition

1. UAV Model

The UAV model defines the structure and attributes of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as submitted to the /v1/uav endpoint.

Field	Type	Required	Description
id	string	Yes	The unique identifier of the UAV.
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.
altitude_accuracy	int	No	Accuracy level of the altitude coordinate in meters.
accuracy	int	No	Accuracy level of the latitude and longitude coordinates in meters.
call_sign	string	No	UAV call-sign.
ground_speed	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.
status	string	No	The current status of the UAV. Allowable values: INACTIVE, AIRBORNE, GROUNDED.
last_update	long	Yes	The time of the event in seconds since epoch at UTC-0.
turn_rate	float	No	Turn rate in degrees per second.
vertical_rate	int	No	Vertical rate in meters per second. A positive value indicates climbing, a negative value indicates descent.
icao24	string		Unique ICAO 24-bit address of the transponder in hex string representation. See FAQs for more details
