IEEE 1937.1-2020 PDF
This standard establishes a framework for drone interface to payload. It defines the interfaces, performance metrics, provisioning, operation control, and management for drone payload devices. This standard specifies payload interface requirements for drones that have a maximum take-off mass (MTOM) less than 25 kg, the drones’ built-in payload not included.
IEEE Std 1937.1(TM) describes the general interface requirements and performance characteristics of payload devices in drones.
New IEEE Standard – Active. General interface requirements and performance characteristics of payload devices in drones are presented. The drone payload interfaces are described in three categories: mechanical interface, electrical interface, and data interface. Mechanical interface is used to fix the payload to the drone. Electrical interface is an electromechanical device used to join electrical terminations. The electrical interface includes the power supply interface and the two-way communication interface. Data interface refers to the communication protocol. The requirements and performance characteristics of the drone payload interface are detailed from the aspect of protection from temperature extremes, humidity, water, dust, vibration/shock, mold, salt spray, etc. Typical drone payloads, interface requirements, and performance characteristics of specific payloads are illustrated.
