Abstract :
This paper addresses a method to implement an ad-hoc network for inter-vehicle communication of multiple UAVs. During cooperative missions, it is essential to share information between different UAVs. The ad-hoc network provides greater autonomy to the team of UAVs because it is free of intervention of ground stations. The challenges we consider for implementing inter-vehicle communication are including increased data amount, distinguishing data, and system complexity. This paper provides the solutions to these problems in terms of hardware and software.
