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 Altitude of the UAV in meters, based on GPS altitude AMSL. Value "-9999" means unknown
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
