: Directly connects MATLAB to ArduPilot via UDP, enabling Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) testing where MATLAB handles the physics or high-level control.

: Blocks like "RC Receive" and "Write Torque & Thrust" allow models to interact with ArduPilot peripherals and motor mixers without manual coding. Getting Started MATLAB Simulation — Dev documentation

: You can build custom position and attitude controllers in Simulink to replace or augment standard ArduCopter logic. Simulation Modes :

: Adjust controller parameters in real-time while the model runs on the autopilot.
