Consideration for Utilization of Multi-UAV Flight on the Same Place

-Through the development of mesoscale meteorological observation system using 27 drones formation flight -

Abstract

We report on the study of 27 drones to do the same work in one place at the same time on the basis of 'mesoscale meteorological measurement by 27 unit drone fleets' by project for promoting business Provincial Reconstruction practical development, Fukushima innovation coast. In this fiscal year's verification, at the Fukushima Robot Test Field, we verified whether 3 x 3 x 3 row flight is possible at intervals of 40 m, 70 m, 100 m at 30 m intervals, up to an altitude of 100 m. As a result, while occasionally there was a drone descending due to the turbulence of the airflow, we were able to hover at a fixed point while maintaining a sufficiently safe airspace.
