Introduction
Next Generation UAVP stands for Next Generation Universal Aerial Video Platform. It is an effort by a group of enthusiasts to create an Open Source autonomous UAV for fun flying, photography and experimentation. It was born out of the UAVP project, but by now it has technologically and administratively nothing to do with its predecessor.
