Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are attracting an increasing interest from both the industrial and the research fields, because of the large number of scenarios and applications that they can support. One of the big challenges of the next future is the use of UAV swarms, in order to exploit the advantages that coordinated actions of multiple drones can provide. In this work, we propose an analytical framework to evaluate the probability of a reliable command and control message delivery from a Ground Control Station to a UAV swarm via satellite, also exploiting intra-swarm gossiping.
