P19123: Lockheed Amelia Drone

/public/

Home

Project Summary	Project Information
The Amelia Project’s goal is to develop a drone unlike any other on the market. The drone will be equipped with the ability to survey 360 degrees of the lower hemisphere which may be observed by the remote pilot. This pilot controls the drone with a handheld controller along with a virtual reality headset that allows him to survey the 360 degree view below. This new project is leveraging existing drone, virtual reality, and RF video transmission technologies. The goal of the project is to transmit a high definition 360 degree video to the ground station where the pilot is located. With this, the reduction of latency and guarantee stability of the drone. The project seeks to demonstrate the capability of RF to send large amounts of information over significant distances while still providing a smooth video experience. The drone must satisfy all FAA flight safety considerations and FCC regulations. The expected result is a functional prototype that is presented to Lockheed Martin to demonstrate to the management the effectiveness of these technologies when combined together.
