abstract = {The interest of open source software in order to empower the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is growing rapidly into various business applications. In this paper, a complete, multi-layered, and open source flight architecture is proposed. This architecture includes an integrated flight stack, which comprises two side stacks: the UAV side stack and the Ground Control Station (GCS) side stack. Furthermore, a communication layer is used for managing the communication between the two side stacks. The proposed architecture is evaluated on a simulated UAV, and it envisions to be a software stack that will facilitate the development of more complex UAV concepts such as Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs). © 2020 IEEE.},
