The MARVIN project was part of the COMETS project which was funded by the European Community. The project's main objective was to design and implement a distributed control system for cooperative activities using heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Unmanned helicopters and airships are included. One outcome on the side of TU Berlin was the development of a completely new Marvin version.
