Distributed flexible simulations for UAS operational environment scenario building and testing

A collection of slides from the author's conference presentation is given. The conclusion from the topics discussed states that distributed simulations of UAS operational and ATC environment scenarios proved to be robust to support the development and testing of onboard UAS intelligent analyzer software prototype with: a) multiple UAS models and airframes b) multiple UAS flight plans and contingency plans c) multiple platforms d) multiple air traffic scenarios. It also proved to be flexible allowing quick adaptation to requirements for extraction of new data types according to physical characteristics and capabilities of various UAS models. It was extendable to software middleware enabling intelligent analyzer to be UAS model agnostic. It enabled the smooth hardware-in-the-loop test with an experimental UAS.
