Nowadays Unmanned Aerial Vehicles seems to be very popular area of investigation. There are proposed many solutions, started from designing specialized flying nodes and ending on preparing application programming paradigms for them. From the other hand, communication between UAVs, especially working in hierarchical structures ie. clusters, is very promising goal. In article a basic hardware-software node architecture was presented. Moreover authors were trying to explain cluster communications issues. Finally prototype implementation, based on three nodes environment was described.
