NOTE

As from October 23rd, 2020, Neptus requires Gradle build system. Check the branch for what build system is in use, if Ant or Gradle.

Introduction

Neptus has been developed and thouroughly tested by LSTS for commanding and controlling fleets of unmanned vehicles. Neptus supports AUVs, UAVs, ROVs, ASVs and different types of non-actuated sensors. Operators not only can use Neptus to observe real-time data of networked vehicles but also to revise data from previous missions, plan and simulate future missions to be executed by one or several vehicles. Neptus provides a comprehensive distributed environment where operators and vehicles can join in and leave the network as time floes. Operators are able to interact with a dynamic set of available assets as well as each other in real-time by commanding plans and receiving data from the network.
