  1. Systems Design Review By: Aurora Kiehl Scott Neuman Jeremie Snyder Dennis Vega Stephen Wess

  2. Project Introduction • Initial Scope: UAV Ground Station • Collect and display in-flight telemetry data • Allow user to control aircraft through a computer (joystick/keyboard input) • Display pseudo real-time imagery on computer to aid in navigation • A building block for a future ground station capable of fully automated flight • Current Scope • Use of ArduPilot meets many of the future goals • Project expanded to include seeded fault detection • Detect faults using simple sensors • Faults should represent real-world risks to combat/surveillance aircraft

  13. Ardupilot Capabilities • Includes 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer. • Optional off-board 5Hz GPS (included in price) • 4Mb datalogging memory • Up to 8 I/O channels • Open source, coded in C. • Allows manual flight or mission scripting. Waypoints can be defined for automatic flight or the plane can loiter around a "home" point.
