Hi, this is my first post in these forums. I'm an avionics software developer working on a CS Master's with no robotics background (beyond some Lego Logo and Mindstorms stuff way back when) but I'm looking to change that for my Thesis.

I'm looking at researching and developing a simulation environment for use in drone fleets (primarily UAV but I want it to be useful for ground and sea drones as well). While I want a reasonable basic physics handling of each unit my primary focus is going to be communications between multiple units of a BVR fleet.

Any suggestions on what I might want to consider or any research material I might find useful would be terriffic!
