Field experimentation after action report
Report (292.9Kb)Abstract
The key objective of this research was to fly two Unmanned Air System (UAS) swarms, with Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) controlling one swarm running NPS-developed software, and Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) controlling the second swarm running GTRI-developed software. Other objectives of this research include the exploration of: rapid technology development using open-source code, rapid evaluation and generation of low-cost hardware and software, and characterization of through-puts and latencies on distributed wireless networks in which data rates must be sufficient to maintain cohesion in air to ground links.
