Communication among UAVs

Abstract: This project focuses on the study of possible technologies to provide communication among small UAVs (Mini or Micro). This type of UAV has been chosen considering applications in which a fleet  of such UAVs can be used for are surveillance. The considered distance between two UAVs is considered from one hundred. A research about several communication standards was done and some essential knowledge about wireless communications in general was acquired. By analyzing the requirements of the considered applications, and offeredfeatures and properties of each communication technology studied, they were compared highlighting their pros and cons, and finally a suitable one was chosen to implement a prototype to perform tests about the kinds of transmissions required by the UAVsapplication which can do the control of transmissions using devices that implement the selected communication technology was implemented using Java programming language. Practical experiments with this application were performed and the results reported.
