OPNET/STK integrated environment for modeling an UAV network

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === In this thesis, an OPNET/STK integrated model is used as an example to demonstrate the development of an UAV communication network. First, the concept of using an UAV as a mobile node in a network is addressed. Second, both OPNET and STK mod...

First, the concept of using an UAV as a mobile node in a network is addressed. Second, both OPNET and STK modeling tools are described in a separate chapter to describe each individual modeling characteristic. Third, an OPNET/STK integrated model is illustrated to show the characteristics of a combined environment and to analyze the interoperability and performance of this combined model. Finally, some recommendations and conclusions are stated for further study. 2012-03-14T17:48:15Z 2012-03-14T17:48:15Z 2003-09 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/6247 Copyright is reserved by the copyright owner.
