Autonomous Flying Ad-Hoc Networks
About this ebook
Flying ad-hoc networks (FANETS) are emerging as an innovative technology in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) space, which has proven its usefulness in urban surveillance, disaster management, and rescue operations. In FANETs, a swarm of UAVs are locally connected together through a base station and the nearby environment to gather the information. FANETs are able to cover larger distances than its predecessors, MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) and VANETs (Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks), making them an ideal solution for gathering vital data. As artificial intelligence is implemented across a number of industries, this technology has the capability to train large datasets. Researchers are exploring ways to improve AI algorithms and quantum computing using this technology. Autonomous Flying Ad-Hoc Networks offers comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of FANET technology by comparing the differences between FANETs, MANETs, and VANETs, including their characteristics, features, and design models, and discussing the applications and challenges of FANET adoption.
