- Test Bed for a Wireless Network on Small UAVs
- Small (10kg) UAVs are low-cost low-risk candidates for emerging UAV applications. Examples include multi-UAV swarming, flocking, and sensing operations; or, as a communication relay for a network of ground radios mounted at fixed sites, on vehicles, or in sensors. A key enabler is the ability of the UAVs to communicate...

- Performance Measurement of 802.11a Wireless Links From UAV to Ground Nodes With Various Antenna Orientations
- This paper reports measured performance of 802.11a wireless links from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV to ground stations. In a set of field experiments, it records the Received Signal Strength Indicator RSSI and measure the raw link-layer throughput for various antenna orientations, communication distances and ground-station elevations. By comparing the...

- Beyond Swarm Intelligence: The UltraSwarm
- This paper explores the idea that it may be possible to combine two ideas - UAV flocking, and wireless cluster computing - in a single system, the UltraSwarm. The possible advantages of such a system are considered, and solutions to some of the technical problems are identified. Initial work on...
