Introduction: |
| The
United States Marines have been given a special assignment of
humanitarian relief and security over a small island nation in the
Caribbean. Team six has been given the task of providing an Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that can support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. The vehicle must search a designated area and look for items of interest as well as classify specific details of it within a given time. Such details include; color, shape, size and GPS location of each item. Aerial vehicles that are capable of completing such tasks have an opportunity to enter into a competition at the end of the 2012-2013 school year for a chance to win prizes and gain real life engineering experiences. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft that does not have a human pilot on board. The flight of the vehicle can be controlled autonomously by computers in the vehicle or under the remote control of a navigator. The navigator can either be a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. The military has focused heavily over the past decade on the research and technological advancement of the UAV for purposes of reconnaissance and rescue. There is a need to promote the advancement of these vehicles primarily for the operational standards and importance of military missions throughout the world. |
