Abstract
This paper proposes a new software platform to control and monitor a squad of unmanned vehicles. Through the use of an open-source flight controller and an on-board Raspberry Pi it is possible to create a system that enables communication between a remote ground control stations (GCS) and a unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Both are connected through the use of wireless and cellular networks like Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G which have the required support to allow for communication beyond line of sight.
