DESCRIPTION:Committee:  Drs. Thomas Wischgoll\, Advisor\, John Gallagher\, 
 and Yong PeiABSTRACT:Unmanned aerial vehicles\, or UAVs\, have become an i
 mportant tool in a variety of fields of research when studying cloud plume
 s. Plume clouds can derive from blast mining\, chemical warfare\, natural 
 causes\, and other factors\, and can be comprised of various toxic chemica
 ls. This study implements a procedure that simulates a 3D environment in w
 hich UAVs are individually controlled and each report a plume’s concentrat
 ion value at a specific location. The study is completed using the PX4 aut
 opilot system\, Gazebo simulation environment\, Robot Operating System (RO
 S)\, and QGroundControl. Once these tools are installed and integrated tog
 ether\, model plugins on each vehicle calculate the concentration value of
  a plume inserted into the environment. The results examine the system’s f
 rame rate and CPU load average for controlling multiple vehicles\, and the
 y show that the simulation can efficiently run multiple vehicles simultane
 ously\, with each vehicle computing an accurate concentration reading.
