Digital Communications and Systems Lab

The Unmanned Vehicles (better known as drones – UAVs/UGVs) have seen a tremendous growth in the recent years, gaining wide popularity and offering a variety of new services. Telecommunications technology is the core element not only for the vehicles communications and control, but for the smooth and safe integration of the autonomous vehicles in the greater environment. DCS Lab is highly active in the area of drones communications and applications, it uses specialized equipment (quadcopters, fixed-wings, flight controllers, sensors etc.) and it is supported by experienced staff on drones systems. Some of the lab research areas are flying base stations, drone control with new technologies (e.g. 5G network), long-distance communications (BVLoS), remote and centralized drones fleet management etc.
