1 SIVAQ Manufacturing Status Review
2 Project Overview 2 Mission Statement: Augment the capabilities of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 such that it flies autonomously with a predetermined flight path, records data, relays data, and detects and responds to GPS Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Highest Level of Success: Autonomous quadrotor with: a) GPS navigation system and signal integrity monitoring; b) Return home" capability; c) Mission range of 3km; d) Communications device for transmission of video, data, and last known position. e) SIVAQ will provide live video data, such that the pilot can identify a red target 1 m 2 in a 3600 m 2 field. f) SIVAQ will be capable of locating the source of RFI within 7m of the actual source g) Custom fuselage that improves efficiency while preserving center of gravity and structural integrity and while maintaining stock controllability.
3 CONOPS Scenario 1 3 Continuous signal monitoring and data transmission detection Immediate, large radius RFI is enabled Command Destination and Waypoints for autonomous travel Immediate, powerful RFI detected! Lose Communication link with ground station. Downlink and store flight data in real time Abort mission, disable GPS and attempt to return home inertially
4 CONOPS Scenario 2 4 Command Destination and Waypoints for autonomous travel Continuous signal monitoring and data transmission detection False Signal Detected! Map sphere of influence False GPS sphere of influence Downlink and store flight data in real time
5 Issues From CDR 5 Why not use GPS the Parrot system can talk to? Clarify how antenna patterns affect project Details of interfacing with Papparazi autopilot What software are we developing? How will hull affect control algorithms?
6 Project Schedule 6 Behind On Time Before TRR Cell Modem Comm Link Manufacturing Custom Fuselage Command Drone with GPS Waypoints GPS Waypoint Navigation Initial Paparrazi Flight Tests Configure and Test Wi-Fi Antenna for RFI Zone Wi-Fi Expected Power Tests GPS AGC Tests Inertial Navigation Code Custom PCB Design Onboard Navigation Sensor Testing Log Flight Data from IMU Sensors and GPS Waypoints Develop Linux Ground Station * Please reference hard copy of master schedule included in handout
