Senior Design II: Group 28

Project Description: Autonomous aircraft technology is rapidly advancing as the benefits of such devices become increasingly apparent. This project investigates one such purpose of unmanned aerial vehicles, which is their utilization in combat scenarios. The objective is to develop a low cost, high efficiency autonomous aircraft with systems implemented for avoiding hazardous objects and obstacles, as well as being able to intercept hostile drones. Several hardware and software design choices, ranging from sensor selection to algorithm implementation, are made to realize such an aircraft - the Robocopter.
