Abstract :
One of the most important design problems for the multi unmanned aerial vehicles systems is communication between UAVs. In a multi-UAV system, the communication between UAVs is provided with all UAVs connecting directly to the ground station via satellite or infrastructure. However, infrastructure or satellite-based communication architectures restrict the capabilities of the multi-UAV systems. Infrastructure or satellite-based communication problems of multi-UAV systems can be solved with ad hoc networks among UAVs. This special ad hoc network structure is called as FANET. In this paper, a FANET test bed implementation study is presented.
