Control Platform for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

With the prospect of regulating the use of UAVs, we expect a significant market growth in this sector. The control of a UAV individually is a problem already well treated and described in the literature; however, the control of multiples UAVs still presents challenges. This paper aims to present a platform for controlling multiple UAVs created from an existing application for only one vehicle named DroidPlanner. To carry out the proposed extension and to meet the requirements that this new application demands, changes are presented both in the communication infrastructure and in the user interface. For the experiments, we used a UAV simulator.
