Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about NECM5-18 drone swarm simulator

What is NECM5-18?

NECM5-18 is a professional autonomous drone swarm tactical training simulator with real PX4 MAVLink hardware integration, AI-driven swarm control, real-time radar detection, and full combat simulation — built for defense, universities, and research institutions.

Does it support real PX4 hardware?

Yes. NECM5-18 connects to both PX4 SITL and real Pixhawk hardware via MAVLink v1/v2 over UDP (port 14550), TCP, USB serial, and 3DR SiK radio links. Full ARM/DISARM, takeoff, RTL, and flight mode control included.

Who is it designed for?

Defense companies, military training units, universities, research institutions, and Counter-UAS development teams. Role-based access control provides 4 clearance tiers: Admin, Commander, Operator, and Observer.

How does the AI swarm control work?

The OpenAI Evolution Strategy (OpenAI-ES) algorithm optimizes swarm movement in real time. Formation management, attack vectors, evasion AI, and defense postures are all computed dynamically with a population of 128 agents per generation.

How many drones can be simulated?

Up to 64 simultaneous drone units. NECM5-18 includes 12 formation presets (V-shape, circle, line, diamond, wing, column) and records up to 10,000 frames for full session replay and after-action reporting.

What map layers are supported?

Real-world satellite, Bing satellite, hybrid, dark, OSM, and topographic map layers — all switchable live. Supports 300×300 km operation areas with real geographic coordinates, no-fly zones, and tactical overlays.
