Architecture of Software for Simulating Drone Operation

A typical scenario for the use of a drone group is considered. In this scenario, based on programmed control, each vehicle in the group moves along a specified trajectory determined in preflight planning, in which the target distribution is selected on the basis of the coordinates of the targets, the coordinates of the points of drone deployment, and the coordinates of the no-fly zones. Software architecture for simulation of the drone systems in group scenarios is proposed. The architecture is based on selecting two components of the software: software for the ground control module; and software for the drones. The set of modules and algorithms within each component is considered.
