Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) spread rapidly in the last years, both for civil and military applications. The performance of Dangerous, Dull and Dirty missions implies a wide use of the sUAS, in particular to manage hazardous events, such as natural or manmade major incidents or mass casualty situations. The management and control of an emergency are crucial aspects for the rescue teams and...
As small unmanned aircraft systems become increasingly affordable, reliable, and formally recognized under federal regulation, they become increasingly attractive as novel platforms for civil applications. This paper details the development and demonstration of both fixed-wing and rotorcraft-based unmanned systems for infrastructure assessment tasks. Tasks such as inspecting pavement condition and...
Payload sensory information is critical to improve the degree of realism and context awareness in multi-UAV simulators. This paper describes a simulator for multi-payload cooperative UAS missions. It adopts an open Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) approach where the simulation of payload sensors and UAV navigation systems are distributed providing high degree of realism. The proposed simulation tool imposes...
