Project Summary Project Information
Sponsored by Harris RF Division
SPONSORED BY HARRIS CORPORATION, RF DIVISION

Over the past few years, through recent Micro-Arial Vehicle (MAV) and Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) related projects, RIT has been exploring the development of autonomous aircraft platforms through the Multi-disciplinary Senior Design (MSD) program. These projects have been driven by a number of factors including inter-collegiate competitions, university research, and external interest from commercial and military organizations.

During the 2008-2009 academic year, the UAV Project Family successfully flew its first iteration of airframe designs and is ready to start development of the flight control electronics. P10236 will be the first official UAV project to begin this work through the development of a versatile control system architecture/platform that provides the means to interface with various types vehicle sensors and control actuators, as well as a processing core capable of running control code to be developed in future projects.
