Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)


University Innovation Showcase

Innovation Day Presentation


Project 95
Introduction
• UAV – Unmanned aerial vehicle, UGV – Unmanned ground
vehicle
• Controlled via direct link from ground-control station or
completely autonomous
•  Can traverse terrain that may be very unsafe for human
travel in a much shorter amount of time
• Uses artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms for mapping, image recognition, and targeting
• Raytheon Technologies is a defense and aerospace company
that annually hosts the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) https://www.insiderintelligence.com/insights/drone-
delivery-services/

University Innovation Showcase in order to encourage


innovation in the UAS field to solve existing real-world
problems 
• Multiple teams, each representing a university will develop,
implement, and test hardware and software components to
design a UAS to complete specified tasks
• UTA has a large team comprised of Electrical, Mechanical, and
Computer Science Engineering seniors who will collaborate on https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/
a UAV and UGV in tandem for the competition 34560103172347c572d9347dae2851da
UGV Tasks Overview
GOAL: Evader must complete predetermined paths at
variable speeds alongside other school's evaders
Task 1 (10 min):
• Evaders remain in static position throughout the field
Task 2 (10 min):
• Evaders start at one end of field and go across in
straight line (~.17 mph)
Task 3 (7 min):
• Evaders start at one end of the field and go across in a
straight line at a medium speed (~.3mph)
• At a pre-determined time, each evader will make a
right 90° turn, move forward, then a left 90° turn
Task 4 (3 min):
• Evaders start at one end of the field and go across in a
straight line at a high speed (~.68mph)
• At a pre-determined time, each evader will swap
routes with another evader and take two 90° turns
Requirements
Seeker:
• Must be registered with the Federal Aviation
Agency
• At least one team member must be a FAA
certified drone pilot
• GPS & RTK required
• Able to operate without GPS
• Camera to identify friend evader from foe evader
Evader:
• Must complete paths given in tasks
• Complete tasks at assigned speeds
• Must have obstacle avoidance to avoid other
evaders
Constraints
Seeker:
• Must be completely autonomous
• Must use ACE combat system with:
• IR laser to shoot enemy evaders with
• Software logs must capture time of hit
• Must remain within a 50x50 yard field
• Must identify targets through ArUco marker
Evader:

• Must use ACE combat system to: PERMITTED
• Register IR laser shots with receiver NAVIGATION
• LEDS must light up when hit AREA
• React to hit with Buzzer sound

• Needs 1x1 ft ArUco Marker


• Must remain within a 50x50 yard field
