MultiUAV2 Simulation Platform

The MultiUAV2 simulation platform discussed in this paper is a (Simulink/MATLAB/C++)-based framework capable of simulating cooperative mission execution among multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). While the simulation architecture is organized using MathWorks Simulink environment, the majority of functional components are implemented through MATLAB script functions. The simulation models critical aspects including inter-UAV communication and coordination protocols, as well as ground control station communication links, effectively replicating real-world UAV system operations. Key implementation features include: - Dynamics and control system modeling for individual UAVs using state-space representations and PID controllers - Environmental and sensor modeling with configurable noise parameters and detection ranges - Modular architecture allowing parameter adjustment and component modification through MATLAB callback functions and Simulink mask parameters - Event-driven simulation logic implemented via MATLAB S-functions and Stateflow charts All simulation components feature configurable parameters that can be modified through script-based initialization files or graphical interfaces, enabling accurate adaptation to specific mission scenarios and operational conditions. The platform's modular design supports rapid prototyping of coordination algorithms, communication protocols, and autonomy functions, making MultiUAV2 a powerful tool for UAV system research and development.
