Autonomous Aerial Vehicle for Target Identification: AUVSI 2013 Student Competition Team 6

Team 6 of the AUVSI 2013 Student Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition developed an autonomous aerial vehicle designed to search a target area, identify targets, and relay essential information to a ground station. Utilizing a Senior Telemaster with an 8ft wingspan and powered by a LiPo battery, the team integrated technologies like the Sony FCB-IX11A block camera and advanced autonomous software (Paparazzi and ArduPilot). The project demonstrated the pros and cons of various aerial vehicle types, including helicopters, quadrotors, and airplanes, while emphasizing key factors like cost, stability, and lift capabilities.
