DroneReqValidator (DRV) is a complete Drone simulation ecosystem that automatically generates realistic environments, monitors Drone activities against predefined safety parameters, and generates detailed acceptance test reports for effective debugging and analysis of Drone software applications.

DroneWis is a CFD-based wind simulation component that is integrated with DroneReqValidator. It is used to automatically simulate the wind flow in the environment.

Instruction for ASE 2024 reviewers:

1. Switch to the branch ASE-docker

2. Use the docker compose.yaml file to run the complete system.

   docker-compose up

3. Then download DRV_1.0.0 from the link

4. Unzip and run the Blocks.exe file to start the simulation.

now you can interface the ecosystem using the UI at http://localhost:3000

• DRV demo video
• DroneWiS demo video

• Windows 10/11
• Unreal engine 5.0 (optional)
• Python 3.10
