We will demonstrate how MATLAB and Simulink can:

• Enable component manufacturers, system developers, and customers to communicate through modeling and simulation
• Help engineers communicate the impact of design choices for individual modules on overall system performance
• Transition from static models to low and high-fidelity dynamic models to perform complex tradeoffs such as multi-objective optimization for requirement sets
• Evaluate wireless communication coverage by varying node placement, taking into account environmental conditions such as terrain, dust and smoke
• Simulate autonomous drone missions in a virtual scenario given various environmental conditions

Please allow approximately 45 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar, so if you can’t make it for the live broadcast, register and we will send you a link to watch it on-demand.
