Abstract(in English) Among the several uses of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), wireless relay systems for high altitudes using fixed-wing UAVs, or high-altitude platform stations (HAPS), are some of the most promising applications. To contribute to research and development by best using the advantages of the long flight duration and endurance of fixed-wing airplanes, this paper proposes an antenna pointing control system using mechanical gimbals on board a fixed-wing UAV and describes the blocking analysis of the antenna driving angles of the gimbal directed to a ground station, the design of the antenna pointing control system, and the evaluation of its performance.
