Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Imaging Systems
Primary Customer:
○ Currently the RIT College of Imaging Science works with
equipment that weighs 250 lbs and they must use Cessnas for
their research.
○ This family of projects will create a UAV (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle) while at the same time working to scale down the size of
the equipment required for the College of Imaging Science’s
research.
○ The goal of this family of projects will be an autonomous aerial
vehicle that can carry and control an imaging system. (information taken from P09231 and P10232)
Open Architecture, Open Source Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Imaging Systems Secondary Customers:
Law Enforcement○ Increase response capability ○ Decrease reliance on manned aerial vehicles
Thus decreasing costs
Fire departments○ Tracking wildfires
Realtors ○ Showing large tracts of land

Mission Statement Project Description:
The goal of this project is to design a system that can:
○ Take Measurement Data collected during flight
○ Send that data to a PC on the ground in real time
○ Display the data to a user
○ Send inputs back to the plane from the PC
Reach goal:
○ Develop some simple controls for the UAV.
Basic Process
Importance
This Project Is a necessary step in developing
control systems for the UAV.
If the UAV is going to be capable of self stabilizing
flight and eventually be autonomous then information
on the plane and its surrounding must be known.

Schedule
Week 6
Meet with Sr. Design teams to get a better idea of what there finished product will be, find out when there final design review is. Consult with Faculty guides to get feedback on progress
Week 7Make changes based on feedback. Talk to people in EE dept. and CE dept for insight on how I should describe the project to get the right kind of students for it.
Week 8 Have first draft of Staffing Requirements done, continue meeting with customers for feedback, finalize the direction of the project. Begin work on final presentation
Week 9 Get feedback on Rough draft of final presentation, start working on Marketing video. Imagine RIT. Talk with EE and CE faculty to see if staffing requirements are ok.
Week 10 Give Presentation continue working on Marketing video.
