Experimental Development of Communication Services Scenario for Centralized and Distributed Construction of a Collective Control Network for Drone Swarm

The paper implements experimental testing and development of possible options for self-organizing wireless networks for a swarm of drones for telecommunications services. Experimental testing of a swarm of drones was implemented in two relay scenarios: with the help of metalized reflectors and active with the use of additional SDR radio units. A test suite based on programmable modules has been developed. This allows them to be periodically used on network drones and in a ground command and control post. In this case, only the software of the built-in modules is changed to them. The set under consideration can form a scenario in which it is possible to implement cooperative relaying of a signal for a remote drone through the swarm nodes when direct communication with ground control and monitoring station is impossible.
