AntsHill

AntsHill is a Military Software created with SwarmIOS in Unreal to Simulate Drones Swarm movement in life-like Scenarios. See below the key features of this project

The most important feature of this App is ability to connect to a MQTT broker. Since MQTT isn’t supported by default in Unreal, we’ve had to come up with a third-party solution. Since this is a military application, security is a non-negotiable so we had to also implement TLS support. All commands send through MQTT were in JSON format.

Once we received the scenario from a server, we have to draw it. While the end result will be a 3D application, right now we only support a Top-Down view.

Here are some of the commands we implemented for this project:

    • Moving To Position
    • Turn On/Off the camera to find targes in a certain Area
    • Destroy Targets
    • Grant/Deny Authorization for Engage

    Key features of the App:

    Grant/Deny Authorization to Engage

    Display a history of call commands received

    Controls that send commands back to server

    Positions in Real-Time
