I followed the instruction as mentioned here. when I run

roslaunch px4 multi_uav_mavros_sitl.launch

works fine for default programme but when I added code for one more drone (UAV1 iris_3) and run

roslaunch px4 multi_uav_mavros_sitl.launch

I get following error message although I can see UAVs in Gazebo simulator.

[multi_uav_mavros_sitl.launch] is neither a launch file in package [px4] nor is [px4] a launch file name

The traceback for the exception was written to the log file

I am adding launch file doe here is my launch file:-

<launch>

I see that you tagged this question as both "kinetic" and "ros2". It looks like you are using ROS kinetic that is a ROS 1 distribution. Did you add the "ros2" tag on purpose ?

sorry for that I was getting an error on tagging ros1

I don't know the reason but If I run that command inside firmware directory It runs successfully and other than that It gives that error

You usually get that error because the package is locally built. So for roslaunch to work it needs to find the package. Since px4 is your package roslaunch will work only inside the px4 package not anywhere else.
