CAMS

h1. Modes of operation

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

* [[Modes of operation#Field operation|Field operation]]

* [[Modes of operation#Virtual operation|Virtual operation]]

* [[Modes of operation#Mixed-reality operation|Mixed-reality]]

* [[Modes of operation#Mission replay|Mission replay]]

h2. Field operation

Field operation uses real paparazzi UAVs and actual cloud sensor data.

h2. Virtual operation

Operation in pure simulated mode uses virtual Paparazzi UAVs flying into synthetic clouds from a MesoNH database.

h2. Mixed-reality operation

Mixed-reality simulation exploits real UAVs managed by the Paparazzi framework with simulated cloud sensors. This mode of operation is meant to test the UAV flight patterns without having to fly into a cloud.

h2. Mission replay

Stored flight recordings can be used as inputs and be replayed back back CAMS. This mode of operation is useful for post-mission analysis.
