Design, build, and test an unmanned sensor aircraft solution to detect and distinguish humans and large animals in harsh environments AREND AREND Sensor UAS Wildlife conservation needs support to protect rhinos, elephants, and other endangered species from cru- el poaching. AREND is a sensor aircraft for aeri- al surveillance specialized for de- tecting people, large animals, and specific shapes such as crashed aircraft. In stark contrast to a UAV with attached sensors, the AREND aircraft is an unmanned aerial sys- tem (UAS) designed from the bot- tom up to hold select sensors in modular arrangements. This trans- lates to higher quality resource management, efficacy, capability and versatility, and lower operating cost. University of Colorado Boulder Dept.
