Introduction
  • Casualties in Iraq to date- 4,174
  • Wounded in Iraq to date- 30,662
  • Change to urban/guerilla warfare
  • Reconnaissance missions vital
  • Goal Create a compact surveillance device for
    frontline warfare that will allow for safe
    reconnaissance missions with minimal causalities

3
Objectives
  • Evaluate the design selected by last years group
  • Achieve flight height of 20 feet
  • Sustained flight time of 20 minutes
  • Ability to hover
  • Video/Audio transmission
  • Compact design

4
Issues
  • Material
  • Carbon fiber, thin Kevlar
  • Lightweight resistance to small arms fire
  • Weight
  • Addition of a gas such as helium to add lift
  • Choice of engine (e.g. battery or gas?)
  • Surface area of propellers
  • Custom propellers to replace current ones
  • Design
  • Size of external systems
  • Video and audio

5
Target Customers
  • Military and police agencies
  • Civilian reconnaissance such as CIA, FBI, etc.
  • Military reconnaissance such as Army, Air Force,
    etc.
  • International customers
  • Allied countries

6
Customer Needs
  • Surveillance of an area
  • Allow the customer to evaluate the area for any
    enemies or warfare
  • Safe Unmanned and operator being distant from
    target zone
  • Efficient Portable, lightweight, durable, and
    cheap
  • Provide video and audio feed

7
Customer Needs
  • Ease of use
  • Able to use with minimal training
  • Better than current unmanned aerial vehicles
    (UAV) on the market
  • Cheaper
  • More effective information gathering

8
Conceptual Designs
  • Main Objective K.I.S.S
  • Material
  • Zero Weight
  • Power Devices
  • Audio/Visual Equipment
  • Cost-Efficient

9
Balloon
  • Pros
  • Helium Usage
  • Capacity for Audio/Visual Equipment
  • Distributed Load
  • Cons
  • Blades susceptible to Damage
  • Movement in Certain Direction
  • Landing Damage

10
Sphere
  • Pros
  • Simplest Design
  • Can Contain Helium
  • Cost efficient
  • Cons
  • Blades susceptible to Damage
  • Landing
  • Might be the Heaviest

11
Top Hat
  • Pros
  • Small
  • Lightweight
  • Cost efficient
  • Cons
  • Concentrated mass
  • Hovering may be difficult
  • May not have capacity for audio/visual

12
Spaceship
  • Pros
  • Distributed load
  • Open air design provide maximum thrust
  • Blades less susceptible to damage
  • Cons
  • No space for audio/visual equipment
  • Large diameter
  • Cannot easily hover

13
Concept Matrix
14
Radio Control Equipment
  • 6 Channel Futaba Radio Control System
  • Use 4 channels to control 4 degrees of motion
  • Up and down (altitude)
  • Rotation (about central axis)
  • Forward and Backwards (translation)
  • Left and Right (translation)
  • 5th channel to control camera motions
  • Radio revised to be helicopter capable

15
Cyclic Mixing
  • Direct input servos
  • Lower weight
  • Less complex
  • Smaller Profile
  • Requires Cyclic Mixing on the controller for
    smooth response

16
Zero Weight
We are currently experimenting with the idea to
offsetting a considerable amount of the crafts
weight by using helium to provide additional lift
17
AXIS P3301 Network Camera
  • Features
  • High-performance camera
  • Thanks to its high-quality progressive scan
    sensor and advanced image processing, the camera
    delivers crisp and clear images - even in
    low-light conditions. The built-in two-way audio
    capabilities including audio detection alarm
    allow for real-time communication with visitors
    or intruders.
  • Power over Ethernet
  • Support for Power over Ethernet allows the camera
    to receive both data and power over a single
    Ethernet cable

Dimensions 94 x 144 x 132 mm (3.7'' x 5.7'' x
5.2'') Weight 425 g (0.94 lb.)

Budget
TOTAL COST 1,685.00
23
Final Thoughts
  • Minimize casualties of war
  • Learn from the past
  • Implement efficient design/resources
  • Strategic Planning, Innovation, and Diligence
    will be our formula for success
