SwarmFly: A simulation platform for UAV swarm experiment design and validation

arXiv:2606.25146v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The initial development phase of UAV swarms largely depends on simulation for experimental design and validation, yet existing open-source tools are often unmaintained, have steep learning curves, or are built around a single fixed scenario. The need for a comprehensive, modular simulation platform is a recognized research gap. This paper presents SwarmFly, a MATLAB-based simulation and test platform for multi- UAV swarms that addresses these gaps....
