## Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for improving wireless power system design and analysis using a System-of-Systems (SoS) approach. The SoS approach includes multiple systems for analyzing, modeling, and simulating various aspects of wireless power system, particular for wireless power systems for unmanned aerial vehicles. The multiple systems include using a multiphysics approach that accounts for electromagnetic, thermal, and structural aspects of a wireless power system, such as for a rectenna design. The SoS approach further includes allowing selection and/or input of various variables such as diode selection, geographic/atmospheric, and other measured data/information to more closely model and simulate real world conditions.
