UAV simulations can be done in NetSim using either the MANET or VANET module. NetSim supports 2-Dimensional modeling via the GUI. (If you want to add 3-D capability, then you will need to edit the config file and configure the Z axis parameters and use file-based mobility with X, Y , Z values for the devices. Please note that this would only allow you to run the simulation & get the results. Users cannot visualize this via animation since NetSim doesn't have 3-D animation capability yet)
- Layer 3 Unicast Routing - Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), Optimized Link-state Routing (OLSR) and Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP)
- MAC / PHY (interfaced from NetSim Internetworks library) - 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac and e
You would need to check the different protocols running in MANET/VANET and see if/which are applicable to your use case.
