They test sensor technology in real environments and solve complex tasks faster. Key aspects include accurate localization, reliable communication, and dynamic flight control. The localization accuracy of RTK-GNSS-enabled system, which includes GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO positioning systems is compared with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) one. The UPWARDS communication hub is presented as a processing and connection point across swarm agents. This controller also incorporates collision avoidance features and testing of evasion strategies.}, language = {en} } @misc{RottaMykytyn, author = {Rotta, Randolf and Mykytyn, Pavlo}, title = {Secure Multi-hop Telemetry Broadcasts for UAV Swarm Communication}, series = {20.

Autonomous UAV swarms require efficient and stable communication during deployment for a successful mission execution. For instance, the periodic exchange of telemetry data between all swarm members provides the foundation for formation flight and collision avoidance. However, due to the mobility of the vehicles and instability of wireless transmissions, maintaining a secure and reliable all-to-all communication remains challenging.

Operating multiple UAVs in parallel, including those with different specializations, enables efficient coverage of large areas. While existing research focused mainly on predefined flight formations for swarms or autonomous missions for single UAVs, the focus of this work is on multiple UAVs with individually adaptable missions. We derive communication system requirements from swarm coordination algorithms and present a respective design. The resulting modular architecture enables future research on autonomous adaptive UAV swarms and their use as flying sensor platforms.}, language = {en} } @misc{MykytynBrzozowskiDykaetal., author = {Mykytyn, Pavlo and Brzozowski, Marcin and Dyka, Zoya and Langend{\"o}rfer, Peter}, title = {Jamming Detection for IR-UWB Ranging Technology in Autonomous UAV Swarms}, series = {2021 10th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)}, journal = {2021 10th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)}, isbn = {978-1-6654-2989-4}, issn = {2637-9511}, doi = {10.1109/MECO52532.2021.9460250}, language = {en} } @misc{MykytynBrzozowskiDykaetal., author = {Mykytyn, Pavlo and Brzozowski, Marcin and Dyka, Zoya and Langend{\"o}rfer, Peter}, title = {GPS-Spoofing Attack Detection Mechanism for UAV Swarms}, series = {12th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)}, journal = {12th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)}, isbn = {979-8-3503-2290-3}, issn = {2637-9511}, doi = {10.1109/MECO58584.2023.10154998}, pages = {8}, language = {en} }
