Abstract

Today, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have deeply modified the concepts of surveillance, Search&Rescue, aerial photogrammetry, mapping, etc. The kinds of missions grow continuously; missions are in most cases performed by a fleet of cooperating autonomous and heterogeneous vehicles. These systems are really complex and it becomes fundamental to simulate any mission stage to exploit benefits of simulations like repeatability, modularity and low cost. In this paper a framework for simulation and testing of UAVs in cooperative scenarios is presented. The framework, based on modularity and stratification in different specialized layers, allows an easy switching from simulated to real environments, thus reducing testing and debugging times, especially in a training context. Results obtained using the proposed framework on some test cases are also reported.
