| The National Center for Meteorological Research (CNRM-GAME, Toulouse, France) conducted an airborne experiment in Cyprus in March 2015 as part of the BACCHUS project. The main goal of CNRM's contribution is to complement the ground-based observations of aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei with airborne measurements to characterize the vertical distribution of aerosol, radiative fluxes, 3D wind vectors and meteorological state parameters. As payloads were limited to 500g (and total weight < 2.5kg), multiple RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft systems) were instrumented for a specific scientific focus. The Paparazzi system was used to navigate the RPAS. During the campaign, airborne measurements were taken over 4 weeks (5 March to 2 April, 2015) with 52 research flights and 38 hours of flight time. Vertical profile were regularly sampled up to 2100 m.asl (limited by authorized flight ceiling) and often observed the layers of dust originating from the Arabian Peninsula and the Sahara Desert. RPAS profiles generally show a well-mixed boundary layer and compare well with ground-based LIDAR observations. Flights below and within clouds were also coordinated with satellite overpasses to perform 'top-down' closure of cloud micro-physical properties.

| The Enac team has been flying several aircraft (X6-Skywalker, Easystar, Funjet) at the Atmospheric Research Center of Lannemezan, close to the Pyrenees in the south of France. The goal was to prepare several meteorological planes for research studies held by '''Meteo France''' that will be held next month in Cyprus. Weather conditions was pretty harsh some times, with snow and icy fog, but also gave some really nice pictures, and of course interesting flights up to 1400m AGL with meteorological instruments.

| As you know paparazzi is very modular platform. To show the world how modular we are, we work hard on implementing paparazzi into the Parrot Bebop. At the Micro Aerial Vehicle Laboratory ([http://www.lr.tudelft.nl/en/cooperation/facilities/mav-laboratory/ MAVLab]) of Delft University of Technology faculty Aerospace engineering ([http://www.lr.tudelft.nl/ TU Delft]) we received a pre-production model of the Bebop. We do our best to have paparazzi integrated before the launch of the Bebop. If you want to follow the progress check our ([https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGS-Ra1fPexk01KYIBeySRQ/ youtube channel])

| To make documenting and learning about Paparazzi easier we have updated the Wiki to the latest Mediawiki version (1.22). This new wiki provides very improved search of the many articles, as well as video embed tags. You can easily embed a youtube video to your article by writing <nowiki>{{#ev:youtubehd|videoID}}</nowiki>, or a vimeo video by adding <nowiki>{{#ev:vimeo|videoID}}</nowiki>. The wiki is hosted on a new dedicated Paparazzi UAV server so it should be faster now too.

| The Mavlab team of TU Delft consisted of 12 people coming from aerospace, computer science, embedded programming and artificial intelligence. Thanks to the enormous team efforts in the last months, the team has won prizes in all the categories in which it participated:
| |
|
| |
| Outdoor: 1st price
| |
| | |
| with an autonomous swarm of 12 MAVs operated by a single operator. The MAVs only had to be plugged in and started their own flight plan, while the operator could monitor their mission status and intervene where necessary. Our participation featured four main innovations: (1) a single operator for 12 MAVs, 3 hybrid UAVs, 7 Parrot AR drones and 2 mini-quadrotors, (2) onboard vision processing on the AR drone with Paparazzi, (3) hybrid UAVs able to fly under any attitude, and (4) the world's smallest open source autopilot, Lisa S (2 grams). The wind conditions were terrible on the outdoor competition day, with 6 Bft, and most teams had their MAVs blown away. Everybody was impressed how the hybrid UAVs were able to cope nicely with these conditions and were still able to perform a precision landing.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Indoor Operations: 1st price
| |
| | |
| Indoor Autonomy: 3rd price
| |
| | |
| Indoor the mission consisted of elements such as flying through a window and obstacle zone. We were the only participants to use a flapping wing MAV, which was in size and weight by far the smallest competing MAV (28 cm wing span, 20g). We demonstrated some autonomous flight capabilities such as autonomous takeoff (a world's first), and the capabilities of the DelFly as a First Person View-platform, where the operator flies the MAV on basis of its onboard images. All elements were performed by the operator.

The International Conference and Competition on MAV was organized by TUDelft mid-September 2022. The ENAC took part to the outdoor competition, a package delivery challenge, with several multi-rotors and a hybrid tail-sitter, all powered by Paparazzi. They won the competition with a quite large amount of points. Nevertheless, all teams performed well with some innovative … 
The latest Paparazzi stable release is out today with many changes and addition since 5.16 one year ago. One of the biggest changes is the complete rewrite of the build system for the aircraft code generation (good old Ocaml stuff), plus the addition of a proper dependency resolution for the modules. It has no big … 
Now, you can have your aircraft tracking a (smooth) 3D parametric trajectory. This is an extension of the existing GVF in Paparazzi, in fact, now we allow even 2D trajectories with self-intersections. It is based on our accepted article in IEEE Transactions on Robotics Singularity-free Guiding Vector Field for Robot Navigation All the instructions to …
