The paper presents conclusions from the research project No. ON50900363 conducted at the Department of Avionics and Aircraft Armament of the Faculty of Mechatronics at the Military University of Technology between 2007 and 2010. Since the project’s goal was to develop the concept and implement a data acquisition system intended for flight testing of “mini” class unmanned aerial vehicles, the article presents the avionics system concept and describes the hardware solutions of a distributed measurement system used for data acquisition from smart sensors. Data collected during operator-controlled flights confirmed the correct operation of the individual components of the data acquisition system.The primary advantage of unmanned aerial vehicles is the ability to perform autonomous or remotely controlled flights in conditions where the use of manned aircraft is impossible, too difficult, or economically unjustified. This applies in particular to high-risk tasks that can be performed without endangering human life. (…)
