Introduction: What is Aerostack? Aerostack is a multipurpose system architecture for autonomous multi-UAV platforms operation. It can be used by system designers as a template when developing their own systems. Aerostack is general enough to be used in a wide range of applications. Aerostack has been implemented as a software framework, which allows developers to have a flight proven multi-aerial system ready to use so that they can test their algorithms even in an early stage of the project. The advantages of using Aerostack are threefold [Sanchez-Lopez et al., 2015; Sanchez-Lopez et al., 2016]: First, it allows the designers to quickly design an autonomous robotic aerial system for any application, simplifying the systems engineering stage.

Second, the Aerostack allows the user to consider all the modules needed for the correct operation of the system, avoiding design errors due to some modules not being taken into account.

Third, Aerostack allows the developers to easily focus on the working of one or several modules without ambiguity because the modules' utility is clear enough.
