Abstract

The University at Buffalo's Airborne Networking and Communications testbed (UB-ANC) is an open software/hardware platform that facilitates rapid testing and repeatable comparative evaluation of airborne networking and communications protocols on drones. In this demo, we present the UB-ANC Emulator, which provides an emulation environment to design, implement, and test various applications (missions) involving one or more drones in software, and provides realistic simulation and seamless transition to experimentation. UB-ANC Emulator uses the same software and interfaces that run on the actual drone hardware, which simplifies transition from emulation to experimentation. We also show how the UB-ANC Emulator can be used to simulate drones in software while using an actual communication link to coordinate their behaviors.
