“…Like, aerial robot team [12], aerial sensor network [13]- [15], but exact FANET base study is less interest in this topics. UAV ad hoc network [16] is totally a unique topic, which is thoroughly associated to FANETs. In fact, there is no major change between the existing UAV ad-hoc network researches and the above FANET definition.…”

Abstract-The usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is increasing day by day. In recent years, UAVs are being used in increasing number of civil applications, such as policing, firefighting, etc in addition to military applications. Instead of using one large UAV, multiple UAVs are nowadays used for higher coverage area and accuracy. Therefore, networking models are required to allow two or more UAV nodes to communicate directly or via relay node(s). Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) are formed which is basically an ad hoc network for UAVs. This is relatively a new technology in network family where requirements vary largely from traditional networking model, such as Mobile Ad-hoc Networks and Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. In this paper, Flying Ad-Hoc Networks are surveyed along with its challenges compared to traditional ad hoc networks. The existing routing protocols for FANETs are then classified into six major categories which are critically analyzed and compared based on various performance criteria. Our comparative analysis will help network engineers in choosing appropriate routing protocols based on the specific scenario where the FANET will be deployed.

“…Some other simulation testbeds using hardware along with software, have also been developed where the hardware might be actual UAVs [12], robots [13,14], or just laptops [15,16]. A very recent work of this type [10] focuses on analytical and component based simulation and analysis.…”

Usage of ground, air and underwater unmanned vehicles (UGV, UAV and UUV) has increased exponentially in the recent past with industries producing thousands of these unmanned vehicles every year. With the ongoing discussion of integration of UAVs in the US National Airspace, the need of a cost-effective way to verify the security and resilience of a group of communicating UAVs under attack has become very important. The answer to this need is a simulation testbed which can be used to simulate the UAV Network (UAVNet). One of these attempts is -UAVSim (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Simulation testbed) developed at the University of Toledo. It has the capability of simulating large UAV networks as well as small UAV networks with large number of attack nodes. In this paper, we analyse the performance of the simulation testbed for two attacks, targeting single and multiple UAVs. Traditional and generic computing resource available in a regular computer laboratory was used. Various evaluation results have been presented and analysed which suggest the suitability of UAVSim for UAVNet attack and swarm simulation applications.

“…The Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) [7] is a solution to deliver this information to its destination over long ranges via one or multiple relays [8] (Figure 1). In fact, MANET is multi-hop wireless network: each node in the network act as a mobile wireless terminal as well as a router to forward information to its neighbors.…”
