Unmanned Vehicles (UV) are used daily for different applications around the world. However, most of the software and technologies on which they are based are closed and proprietary systems. The presentation will start by introducing the history of Unmaned Vehicle technologies, with some unknown historical info, and the different types of Unmaned Vehicles that exist. The aim of the presentation is to demonstrate the integration of free and open source systems starting from the hardware, specially the autopilot component, through some payloads and finishing with the software solutions. Different software solutions for diverse aims will be showed and compared, i.e., first the different software used to configure the UV and manage the mission and later the possible software used to manage the outputs from the mission.
