Mission StatementProduct Description /Project Overview
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle family of projects is intended to create an open source, open architecture platform to hold imaging systems for research projects and law enforcement.
Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables The primary business goals of this product are to Create a product that is more cost effective than existing solutions.Create a stable, easily controlled aerial platform. Create an open source UAV platform that can carry and control an imaging system.
Primary Market / Project OpportunitiesThe primary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is the RIT College of Imaging Science. It is intended as a tool to facilitate imaging research, and to enhance their image capturing abilities.
Secondary Market / Project OpportunitiesThe secondary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is Public Safety Officials. Primarily for Law Enforcement to increase their response capabilities, and decrease their reliance on manned aircraft, thus decreasing their aerial costs. This can also be used by fire departments to track wildfires or realtors who sell large tracts of land.
Stakeholders Stakeholders in the design of our product include the following: –R09560 - Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems–College of Imaging Science–Law Enforcement Agencies–Fire Departments–Realtors / Appraisers–The Communities in which our law enforcement customers reside

Hierarchy of Needs• Fast, stable aircraft
– Minimize vibrations for clear images/video– Ability to loiter over one particular area– High top speed to arrive at destination quickly
• Ability to measure flight parameters– Airspeed– Altitude– Pitch– Heading– GPS Position– Oblique angle of image (could be calculated from other measurements)
• Ability to control the aircraft and the payload– Interface with the imaging system to pass along commands– Control engine speed– Control flaps, rudder, etc.
• Communication between the aircraft and user– Pass along measured flight data– Remote control of the plane– Autonomous flight via offboard computing– Autonomous flight via onboard computing
• Structural integrity and features– Aircraft must survive several rough landings– Protect payload in the event of a crash– Easily assembled/disassembled or collapsed to fit in an SUV or truck
• Payload– Carry a sufficient amount of imaging equipment– Easily interchange different imaging systems

Future PlanWhere do we go from here?
• Further specification of individual discipline specialties and requirements.
• Reexamine individual projects’ complexity and time constraints• Separation of phase segments into annual cycles• Analysis of budgetary needs and constraints
Considerations
• Competitions –SAE Heavy Lift –AMA Heavy Lift
•FAA Regulations –Classification –Altitude Restrictions
