Roadmap Mission Statement Product Description /Project Overview The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle family of projects is intended to create an open source, open architecture platform to hold imaging systems for research projects and law enforcement. Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables The primary business goals of this product are to : Create a product that is more cost effective than existing solutions. Create a stable, easily controlled aerial platform. Create an open source UAV platform that can carry and control an imaging system. Primary Market / Project Opportunities The primary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is the RIT College of Imaging Science. It is intended as a tool to facilitate imaging research, and to enhance their image capturing abilities. Secondary Market / Project Opportunities The secondary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is Public Safety Officials. Primarily for Law Enforcement to increase their response capabilities, and decrease their reliance on manned aircraft, thus decreasing their aerial costs. This can also be used by fire departments to track wildfires or realtors who sell large tracts of land. Stakeholders Stakeholders in the design of our product include the following: • R09560 - Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems • R09230 – Open Architecture, Open Source UAV for Aerial Imaging Systems • College of Imaging Science • Law Enforcement Agencies • Fire Departments • The Communities in which our law enforcement customers reside
Measurements Mission Statement • The mission of the Measurements group is to provide a means for measuring and calculating all the necessary parameters for the flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, primarily through the use of superior measuring devices and accurate dynamic characterizations. We strive to provide accurate data from our measurement systems for in-flight control and monitoring. We strive to exceed engineering standards while encouraging a environment for intellectual growth.
Target Specifications • Measure required parameters to characterize a test frame’s surrounding conditions as well as its internal conditions • Provide accurate, relevant and continuous data for the Roadmap Project • Additional measurements of onboard systems that require continuous measuring/monitoring • Exact design number and type of measurements, as well as the expected range of this data is still undetermined, but has been rudimentarily discussed • Customer needs: Require reliable airframe, low maintenance P09233
Staffing Requirements ** Fabrication from all Engineers P09233
Resource & Budgetary Needs • Access to the wind tunnel for testing • Access to necessary calibration tools • Machine shop for mounting fabrication • Budget Items: P09233
Risks Assessment P09233
Final Project P09233
Team Values • Professionalism • In all aspects of communication/interactions (email, presentations, phone calls, etc.) • Timeliness • Meet deadlines, Arrive on time, Communicate issues quickly, Conclude meetings on time • Respect • Everyone’s opinions/ideas count, Cultural differences, everyone is equal • Communication • Listen, No interrupting, Clear and Descriptive • Factual Evidence • Decisions are based in facts, Consensus on group decisions • Feedback • Continual feedback, Constructive feedback, Open door policy • Ownership • Take ownership of what you do and say, Offer solutions with criticism • Collaboration • No one man armies, Share information and knowledge • Discussion • No sacred cows, Confidentiality within the group interactions • Contribute • Everyone does something, Clear task expectations • Constructive • Take ownership for you contributions and actions, Don’t put ideas or people down • Ethical • Ensure to give credit to information sources • Thorough • Complete tasks so that they do not have to be redone • Accuracy • All work will be documented in a way that can be reviewed by the team
Fostering Team Work • Team Meeting Structure: • Provide team lead with a list of what you did last week and what you plan to do this week, submitted via email before weekly meeting. Weekly meeting will begin with a round table discussion of what each member has done and plans to do to the entire group. This will also be a time to have presentations on new ideas, completed tasks, or other things relevant to the group, as well as time to ask for assistance on tasks that need additional attention. Meetings will be concluded by discussing any new or open action items and assigning action items to individuals, along with completion dates. • Keys to Team Building • Establish roles – A single leader and clear individual roles • Exploiting assets – Capitalizing on our strengthens to be productive • Establish a clear problem – Promote the understanding of the entire problem to each team member • Establish clear goals – Expectations and deadlines (direction) – roadmap • Welcome challenges to prevailing ideas – create an open environment • Spend time together – frequent informal and formal meetings • Establish expectations – Set the expectation of quality work, build ownership of the project, individual teams will set “values and norms” during the first week
