UAV Telemetry
Primary Objectives:
*Design a wireless system that will allow for Bidirectional
Communication between Airframe Control System and a ground
base station.
*The base station must be outfitted with a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) application that will display all relevant flight
data. This includes positional and diagnostic information.
