# MDS - Mission-Directed Swarm **Open-source MAVLink fleet operations for PX4 drones, SITL, drone shows, SAR, and cooperative autonomy.** [](CHANGELOG.md) [](LICENSE) [](docs/guides/python-compatibility.md) [](https://px4.io/) [](https://mavsdk.mavlink.io/)  MDS began as MAVSDK Drone Show and now covers a broader PX4-oriented fleet stack: drone-side runtime, GCS/backend services, React operator dashboard, SITL, real companion computers, sidecar connectivity, and mission execution workflows. It is built to stay simple enough for a quick SITL demo while remaining structured enough for serious multi-drone validation, operations, and custom deployments. ## What MDS Covers - **Offline drone shows** with SkyBrush-imported trajectories and synchronized execution - **Smart swarm missions** with live leader-follower coordination and runtime control - **QuickScout SAR / recon** with multi-drone coverage planning and PX4 Mission Mode execution - **Unified operations tooling** with SITL, GCS services, Swarm Trajectory planning, and live/historical logs MDS is a field-operations and research platform, not certified avionics. Flight testing requires qualified operators, local aviation compliance, geofencing, failsafe review, and independent safety validation. ### Simurgh maturity boundary Simurgh Operator is currently a **demo / proof-of-feasibility beta**, not a production-ready or safety-certified autonomy product. The completed SITL checkpoint demonstrates that typed intent, guarded confirmation, monitored actions, telemetry evidence, and ULog review can work together in a repeatable operator workflow. It does not establish production readiness, real-aircraft approval, or commercial/field safety. Use Simurgh only with the documented human-confirmation and circuit-breaker controls in a trusted SITL or review environment. Treat telemetry gaps, ambiguous state, provider behavior, and all remaining deferred items as operator-visible limitations. Real-aircraft and commercial hardening are explicitly deferred to a later phase; see the [Simurgh feasibility checkpoint](docs/plans/2026-07-27-simurgh-feasibility-checkpoint.md). ## Start Here | If you want to... | Start here | |-------------------|------------| | run the first demo quickly | [SITL Comprehensive Guide](docs/guides/sitl-comprehensive.md) | | use the governed Simurgh AI operator or connect an MCP client | [Simurgh Operator Guide](docs/guides/simurgh-operator.md) | | import and launch a drone show | [Drone Show Guide](docs/features/drone-show.md) | | run Smart Swarm from the dashboard | [Smart Swarm Guide](docs/features/smart-swarm.md) | | author, process, and launch a Swarm Trajectory mission | [Swarm Trajectory Guide](docs/features/swarm-trajectory.md) | | point MDS at a customer/private repo | [Custom Repo Workflow](docs/guides/custom-repo-workflow.md) | | install a GCS on a VPS or Ubuntu box | [GCS Setup Guide](docs/guides/gcs-setup.md) | | deploy real drone hardware | [MDS Init Setup Guide](docs/guides/mds-init-setup.md) | | build or ship a validated custom SITL image | [SITL Custom Release Workflow](docs/guides/sitl-custom-release-workflow.md) | | browse everything else | [Documentation Index](docs/README.md) | ## Quick Demo Start with the **[SITL Comprehensive Guide](docs/guides/sitl-comprehensive.md)**. It covers the official SITL archive, validation, bootstrap, dashboard launch, and the current dashboard-first SITL Control workflow. The stock lab/SITL profile is intentionally plug-and-play: dashboard and machine API authentication are off on the trusted deployment network, and MDS warns w
