MAVLink or Micro Air Vehicle Link is a protocol for communicating with small unmanned vehicle. It is designed as a header-only message marshalling library. MAVLink was first released early 2009 by Lorenz Meier under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
== Applications == It is used mostly for communication between a Ground Control Station (GCS) and unmanned vehicles, and in the inter-communication of the subsystem of the vehicle. It can be used to transmit the orientation of the vehicle, its GPS location and speed.
