Hardware in the Loop Simulator for Multi Agent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Environment

This study describes a Multi-Agent Hardware In the Loop Simulator (HILS) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAV) autopilots. This HILS system allows multiple autopilots to fly multiple virtual airframes in the same virtual environment allowing these agents to interact as a swarm. This system makes the exploration and evaluation of Multi Agent Systems (MAS) possible at minimal cost.
