PROFESSOR KUNG • GROUP MEMBERS: JEEVEN HUGH, AARON KELLEY, AKRAM GERIES, BRAD LONG, MICHAEL LADAS
Main Objectives • Fly Slowstick with group-designed camera to satisfy the following criteria: • Endurance: • As many figure 8 paths around two pylons separated by 30’ in five minutes • Precision Flight: • Survey the area in all directions and acquire a legible image of each of the four 1’ x 1’ targets
GanttChart • Used to list goals and track progress • Made using an Excel spreadsheet
Goals • Learn about UAVs • Buy and learn how to fly a trainer plane • Buy Slowstick to measure parts and design Slowstick parts with Pro-E • Design and build camera mount • Test Slowstick camera mount • Report final findings in engineering design report • Give final design presentation
What Is An UAV? What do they encompass • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle • Aircraft that operates without pilot on board • The may be remote controlled or automated
The history of UAVs • Automated UAVs first employed by the U.S. as a classified project during the Vietnam War • Previously only comprised of remote controlled “RPVs”
Uses of UAVs • Weather monitoring • Recreation • Mapping • Land surveying • Firefighting • Property surveillance • Long term observation • Military missions-non-/armed, surveillance, single/multiuse • Search and rescue • Payload delivery • Research/scale model testing • Scouting • Orbital platforms: satelites
Requirements of a UAV Control Platform Transmitter or a control station Program for automation A way to receive output from the UAV The Unmanned Vehicle A launcher for the vehicle The Crew Upkeep Flight & control Retrieval May consist of one or more people
Learn How To Fly Trainer • Goal:Fly Trainer Around Post And Land Safety
