A remote-controlled platform for UAS testing

Nowadays, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) find application in several fields [1], such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, energy, geology, and archaeology [2], and the list is continually growing. Light vertical takeoff and landing–remotely piloted aircraft systems, often called generic UASs, are the most used platforms due to their low weight, low size, and low cost [1]. This trend is due to the integration on the UAS of high-performance processors, sensors, and actuators with very low power consumption.
