Advances in drone simulation bring mission training to quadcopters – Breaking Defense

The open QGroundControl software for drone control was improved with a fusion engine to integrate sensors and controls.

PDW, the manufacturer of the C100 Group 2 small UAS currently deployed with the U.S. Army, has developed PDW CORE, a software platform designed for multi-mission operations. PDW CORE serves as a payload and sensor data fusion engine, enabling operators to execute multiple mission tasks from a single, centralized interface. At the top of the list of improvements inside PDW CORE is PDW SIM, training software that uses the same software as that for drone control and can replicate real-world conditions like weather and electronic warfare.

Breaking Defense talked about these developments with PDW CEO and co-founder Ryan Gury and Chief Revenue Officer Chuck McGraw.
