Abstract
The DragonFly experimental test bed is a platform that supports new research and innovations in navigation, fault tolerant control and multiple vehicle coordination. It consists of two UAVs with modular onboard avionics packages, which communicate through a wired and wireless network to the ground and lab development systems running QNX real-time OS. Its modularity and networked architecture is key in supporting such a wide range of concurrent research. This paper gives an overview of the DragonFly experimental test bed and the specific research goals that it currently supports.Keywords
