Autonomous Drone Monitoring and Control System

This project is a sophisticated monitoring and control system for a fleet of autonomous drones. The system supports three types of communication:

1. Control Commands: Allows the server to send real-time control commands to the drones with minimal delay.
2. Telemetry Data: Drones periodically send telemetry data such as position and speed back to the server reliably and in order.
3. File Transfers: Drones occasionally send large files (like images or videos) to the server using a protocol that handles efficient file transfers with low latency and high reliability.

Features

• Tri-Mode Communication System:
  • Mode 1 (Control Commands): High-performance, low-latency communication for sending commands to drones.
  • Mode 2 (Telemetry Data): Reliable data transmission from drones to the server for diagnostics and analysis.
  • Mode 3 (File Transfers): Efficient file transfer mode using QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections).
• Multi-Drone Support: Handles multiple drones communicating with the server simultaneously.
• Security: All messages are encrypted and decrypted using a simple XOR cipher.

Prerequisites

• Windows Operating System
• Visual Studio or any C++ compiler that supports Winsock2.
• Git for cloning the repository.

Getting Started
