AERPAW Alpha/Beta Testing and Fall 2021 Event

AERPAW has continued to progress with its alpha testing and beta testing, towards achieving general availability in November 2021. The two videos below show example flight tests in Lake Wheeler Testbed area. These experiments have been first developed in the Development environment of AERPAW. The experiment runs a trajectory control algorithm and srsRAN LTE SISO link between the drone and the fixed node. After developing this experiment in the cloud, the AERPAW team successfully executed the same vehicle and radio software in the Testbed environment. One can notice that we had to rescue our drone from the starting rain at the end of the first flight! The overall process for this experiment and some representative results can be found at Link: OverallProcess and Experimental Results
