FIELD: aircraft engineering.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to unmanned aircraft system (UAS) testing method and system, as well as to UAS with external load testing system. UAS testing system comprises UAS flight control system, optionally piloted vehicle (OPV) with its own control system, flight control interpreter. To conduct UAS testing UAS fuselage is attached to OPV, UAS flight control system is connected to flight control interpreter, latter is connected to OPV flight control system, UAS mission profile is initiated, sending control parameters from UAS flight control system to flight control interpreter for their interpretation, determining mission profile completeness, otherwise sending current state commands from flight control system interpreter to OPV control system, determining presence of pilot intervention, controlling OPV based on current state commands. UAS with external load testing system comprises UAS flight control system, OPV with own control system, OPV ground-based tracking system. OPV carries UAS fuselage flight control interpreter.
EFFECT: enabling UAS testing in accordance with certain mission profile.
