This repository contains the code for a Masters Thesis titled: "An OpenEaagles Framework Extension for Hardware-in-the-Loop Swarm Simulation" by: DEREK B. WORTH, Capt, USAF MS Student, Class of 2016 Department of Computer Engineering Air Force Institute of Technology
A Sept 2015 version of the OpenEaagles simulation framework ('OpenEaagles' and 'OpenEaagles3rdParty' directories) is included as well as extension to that framework ('OpenEaaglesSwarmSims') that enables the modeling of UAV swarms.
For the latest OpenEaagles source code, see: https://github.com/doughodson, http://www.openeaagles.org/
The Excel spreadsheet title "UAV_Waypoints.xlsx" generates random swarming UAVs used in the swarmDemo.
SIMDIS with a DIS plugin is used to provide the visual interface for simulations in this project.
SIMDIS™ is a set of software tools that provide two and three-dimensional interactive graphical and video display of live and post processed simulation, test, and operational data. SIMDIS has evolved from a Naval Research Laboratory display tool for the output of missile models to a premier government off the shelf (GOTS) product for advanced situational awareness and visual analysis. Since its inception, the toolkit has experienced significant user base growth with over 16,000 current registrations.
SIMDIS is targeted for Linux and Windows that have hardware accelerated 3D graphics. A copy of SIMDIS can be found at https://simdis.nrl.navy.mil/
