Abstract
In this poster, we present the hardware and software architecture of the University at Buffalo's Airborne Networking and Communications Testbed (UB-ANC). UB-ANC is an open software/hardware platform that aims to facilitate rapid testing and repeatable comparative evaluation of airborne networking and communications protocols at different layers of the protocol stack. It combines quadcopters capable of autonomous flight with sophisticated command and control capabilities and interchangeable wireless networking capabilities (e.g., Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LTE, or even software-defined radio). UB-ANC is designed with emphasis on modularity and extensibility, and is built around popular open-source projects and standards developed by the research and hobby communities.
