Abstract
UAV as a Service (UAVaaS) is a proposed cloud orchestration framework aiming to provide efficient coordination and cooperation of commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This work proposes a simulated environment to perform analysis and testing for UAVaaS integration. The environment is realized using off-the-shelf frameworks such as Flight Gear and Ardupilot’s Software In The Loop to simulate real world UAV hardware, as well as web service and messaging API’s such as RabbitMQ and Java Spring Framework to simulate UAVaaS cloud coordinator and client functionality. This simulation environment is devised to conduct further research into the network performance and security issues associated with UAVaaS configurations.
