DroneEngage Studio

DroneEngage Studio (repository droneengage_studio, also called Engage Studio) is the simulation and test environment for DroneEngage. It flies simulated copters, planes, rovers and boats on one computer. Each simulated vehicle runs the real DroneEngage modules (de_comm and de_mavlink) and talks to a real or a fake DroneEngage server. You do not need a drone, a radio or root access.

You use one command for everything: ./sim.

Start a fleet and look at it in the WebClient.
Run a scripted test and get a PASS or FAIL result with evidence.
Break things on purpose: cut a link, jam the GPS, kill a module, stop the server. Every fault has a seed, so you can repeat the run.

WebClient map of the search and rescue demo: drones fly to a detect.detected marker and an approval request for a payload drop waits at the bottom — The `sar_fleet_a` search and rescue demo in the WebClient. The scout drones fly to the `detect.detected` point. The ambulance drone `amb1` asks the operator to approve the payload drop.
