Validating a network simulation testbed for army UAVs

Auburn University, through the Army’s Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) has been supporting the Unmanned Systems Initiative (USI) program in three research areas related to unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A major element in this work is the development of a high fidelity modeling and simulation testbed to support the USI program. This paper describes the testbed and the verification and validation of the testbed.
