Arquitetura de Simulação de Missões com Drones com Aspectos Mais Realistas de Comunicação Ar-Terra
Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have seen significant growth due to their affordable prices, availability, and ease of operation. These operability benefits have led to their introduction into many civilian applications, including surveillance, remote monitoring, relief operations, and recreational use. For critical applications, a realistic UAV mission simulation platform, including accurate models to predict the range and quality of communication between the UAV and the ground station, is of great value to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the flight. Our studies showed that simulation platforms are, in general, simplified in terms of communication models. In this article, we also propose a simulation architecture based on the SITL ArduPilot that introduces more accurate communication models.
