Modes of operation¶

CAMS is designed to work under several modes of operation that fulfill user needs in various use cases:

• Field operation
• Virtual operation
• Field operation
• Mission replay

Virtual operation¶

In a simulation scenario, the full stack of LAAS software is used. The simulated UAVs fly into simulated wind and their Liquid Water Content (LWC) sensor is also simulated. Both data come from a MesoNH database.

Field operation¶

In a real flight scenario, none of the MesoNH modules are required. The rest of the modules should work exactly the same thanks to the Paparazzi framework abstraction level.

Mixed-reality operation¶

The hybrid scenario is meant to test the adaptive flight patterns without having to fly into a cloud. Real UAV are flying but the LWC data is read from a MesoNH database. It is then sent to the UAVs to emulate the LWC embedded sensor.

Mission replay¶
