Introduction • Focus • Design • Progress • Conclusion
Focus • To allow customers to convert any radio-controlled airplane into a Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TAC UAV) by using a modular control pod. • To make the pod into a self-contained package • To make the pod adaptable to multiple airframes / platforms
Design – Billy Cruz • Outer Shell • Thermo-formed polycarbonate plastic • Rugged design gives adequate crash resistance
Design – Szymon Tuzel • Mounting System • Adaptable to almost any shape of fuselage • Some user modification available
Design – Derek Olson • Electronics Package • Arduino / Autopilot • GPS • Live video feed • Altimeter • Airspeed indicator • Artificial horizon • Active monitoring
Current Progress • Outer Shell has been thermo-formed • Electronics package combined, integrated and tested • Crash foam will be tested for various K-values
Conclusion • Focus • Design • Progress • Questions?
