The techniques presented relate to a simulation system that integrates a Drone Custom Simulator (DCS), which emulates native autopilot logic and physics, with a Universal Open Simulator (UOS), to provide a comprehensive virtual drone flight environment. The solution includes a software-based bridge to facilitate information exchange between the DCS and the UOS, enabling the simulation of external sensors and the creation of custom environments. The DCS offers a basic simulation for training and testing purposes, while the UOS provides a platform for designing complex scenarios with complex environments and sensor simulations. This simulation environment is beneficial for pilots, developers, and testers, allowing them to safely and effectively test drone behavior, control programs, and software algorithms in a controlled virtual space that closely mirrors real-world conditions. The system provides for the testing of manual and autonomous flight, with the option to transition seamlessly to real-world drone operation after testing is completed.
