| Popis: | This paper presents the specifications for a network architecture of a squadron of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to be used to scan rocket impact areas. It presents the main features of communication networks for multi UAV systems and the details of its application. In this context, we propose a network architecture based on XBee Pro 900HP S3B modules integrated to a hardware platform controlled by embedded computer Model Raspberry Pi 2B, equipped with GPS and Ardupilot controller board. A test plan was established to evaluate the performance of the proposed network architecture in terms of robustness, reliability and energy efficiency. For benchmarking the possible formation of UAVs squadron scenarios, we used network management software in order to measure throughput, packet loss and other performance indicators in the communication links between the different network nodes. |
