Convoyage Edsgn 100 Team 2 Section 2
Description Our goal in this project is to create a system for a Humvee convoy to operate in blackout conditions. We will be using numerous sensors to accomplish this goal.
Calculations Detects objects 50 m away 2.7 seconds to react and brake 5.93 seconds to come to a complete stop 3-D laser angled down at 2 degrees
Infrared Sensor 4Infrared Cameras Image sent to LCD Covers 135 degrees in front Covers 45 degrees in back Emergency Spotlight
GPS Installed inside vehicle LCD displays location and route Google Earth
IED Jammer Protection from Improvised Explosive Devices. Blocks frequencies (66 MHz-3000 MHz) Cannot be triggered
3-D Laser Virtual view Protection from craters and large mounds Mounted on roof Angled at 2 degrees
Warning System 21” screen system displaying Front IR Three 8” screen system for GPS, 3-D laser, and rear IR Flashing screen and beeping warning Measurement Data
Conclusion Cost efficient Early detection Wide view range Communication on Network
