Dr. Antal Hiba, Viktor Körtvélyesi, and Dr. Péter Bauer, researchers of the Computational Optical Sensing and Processing Laboratory and Systems and Control Laboratory at HUN-REN SZTAKI, presented their research results achieved within the framework of the National Defense, National Security sub-programme of the Thematic Excellence Programme at the scientific conference entitled Robotic Warfare and Cyber Security 2025, organized by the Faculty of Military Science and Officer Training of the Ludovika University of Public Service on 3 December 2025. The topic of their presentation was the so-called drone Vehicle-in-the-loop simulation, in which a drone flying safely over an open area is virtually placed in an urban environment and even surrounded by other virtual drones, enabling the safe testing of urban navigation or avoidance algorithms. The challenge here is to establish high-bandwidth communication between the virtual environment running at the ground station and the flying drone, which can be achieved with rotating antennas. The researchers presented this solution to a wider audience during outdoor operations at the 2nd Internal Affairs Drone Cup in September (see the linked news for a complex demonstration video): https://sztaki.hun-ren.hu/aktualitasok/hirek/2025/ …
