  1. Christopher Barrett (ME) Daniel Graves (ME) Project Status UpdateP10232 – UAV Airframe CP10231 – UAV Airframe A

  2. Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Imaging Systems • Primary Customer: • Currently the RIT College of Imaging Science works with equipment that weighs 250 lbs and they must use Cessnas for their research. • This family of projects will create a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) while at the same time working to scale down the size of the equipment required for the College of Imaging Science’s research. • The goal of this family of projects will be an autonomous aerial vehicle that can carry and control an imaging system. (information taken from P09231 and P10232)

  3. Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Imaging Systems • Secondary Customers: • Law Enforcement • Increase response capability • Decrease reliance on manned aerial vehicles • Thus decreasing costs • Fire departments • Tracking wildfires • Realtors • Showing large tracts of land (information taken from P09231 and P10232)

  4. Project Status Update • Project Name • UAV Airframe C • Project Number • P10232 • Project Family • Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Imaging Platform • Track • Vehicle Systems and Technologies • Start Term • 2009-2 planned academic quarter for MSD2 • End Term • 2009-3 planned academic quarter for MSD2 • Faculty Guide • Dr. Jason Kolodziej (ME) • Faculty Consultant • Dr. P Venkataraman (ME) – Possible consultant • Graduate Teaching Assistant • Gerry Garavuso • Primary Customer • RIT College of Imaging Science

  5. Mission Statement – P10232 Mission Statement: Develop an unmanned aerial platform which accomplishes the key project goals while improving on lessons learned from the UAV B airframe. Key Goals: • Electric Powered • 20 Minutes of Flight Time • Reduced Weight • 15 lbs Carrying Capacity • Provisions for a Launch and Recovery System

  6. Concept DevelopmentIdentifying Customer Needs P09232 Previously Conducted Interviews Police Departments Mr. Anand Badgujar Det. Steve McLoud Accident Reconstructionists John Desch Associates Real Estate Agents Mr. Len DiPaolo Fire Departments Mr. Dave Wardall Customs and Border Patrol Mr. Don Lyos Recent Interviews Mechanical Engineering Department Dr. Jason Kolodziej Past Senior Design Teams -P09232 UAV Airframe B -P09231 UAV Airframe A -P09560 Open Source Aerial Imaging System (information taken from P09232)

  7. Concept DevelopmentIdentifying Customer Needs Needs Statements: -Ability to carry a sufficient payload (~15 lbs) -Easy integration with measurement controls box and different aerial imaging systems -Ability to remotely control aircraft and payload -Flight communication between aircraft and ground relay -Minimize flight vibrations for imaging stability -Electric powered to reduce weight -Sufficient flight time (~20 minutes) for local area photography -Aircraft has the ability to take off and land on site -Easy assembly and disassembly for transportation Further needs will be assessed after test flights in the coming weeks.

Project Status Update • Project Name • UAV A -Telemetry • Project Number • P10231 • Project Family • Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Imaging Platform • Track • Vehicle Systems and Technologies • Start Term • 20091 • End Term • 20092 • Faculty Guide • Dr. Jason Kolodziej (ME) • Faculty Consultant • John Wellin (ME) • Primary Customer • RIT College of Imaging Science: Dr. Hensel/Dr.Kolodziej

  15. Mission Statement Project Description: The goal of this project is to design a system that can: Take Measurement Data collected during flight Send that data to a PC on the ground in real time Display the data to a user Send inputs back to the plane from the PC Reach goal: Develop some simple controls for the UAV.

  16. Basic Process

  17. Importance This Project Is a necessary step in developing control systems for the UAV. If the UAV is going to be capable of self stabilizing flight and eventually be autonomous then information on the plane and its surrounding must be known.
