PROJECT

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 minutesPrecision Flight:○ Survey the area in all directions and acquire a

legible image of each of the four 1’ x 1’ targets

Gantt Chart Used to list goals and track progress

Made using an Excel spreadsheet

What Is An UAV? What do they encompass

Unmanned Aerial VehicleAircraft that operates without

pilot on boardThe 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”

Subtypes of UAVs

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
