1. Specifications:
a. Are their weight limits? We want to optimize weight anyway but it might be necessary.
b. Price Range? Might be answered in Talk with Raytheon.
c. Operational time: How long will the competition be?
d. Battery chemistry constraints? LiPo, NiMH, Alkaline, etc.
e. Temperature constraints for components?
f. Power consumption of specific components – FC, ESC...
2. Necessary Parts: Don't have specs yet so not sure what we can do here, but we can have a
possible model so we can have a price point to haggle with Raytheon.
a. For UAV & UGV they'll have mostly the same parts, but one will have props the other will
have wheels, etc.
i. Motors: x4 (maybe)
ii. ESC: x4 (maybe)
iii. IC - flight controller or custom IC?
1) If custom - power distribution circuit
iv. Computer - since it will be autonomous (1st place had companion computer)
v. Battery - specs depend.
vi. Camera
vii. GPS
viii. LIDAR - Obstacle Avoidance.
ix. 6 axis gyro
1) Alternatively gyroscope and accelerometer separately
x. Receiver/Transmitter - need manual override , Telemetry, interface with team
xi. Software, idk too much abt it yet.
If the sponsor doesn't talk back in time: REQUIREMENT - Lower Bound for specs DRONE PROJECT EXAMPLE - Raytheon Last Year
CONSTRAINT - Upper Bound for specs
Just do research on your own. I. Objective
a. State purpose and who your working with
II. INTRO to drones. Add more pictures. What does autonomous mean? Who uses them?
I. EXAMPLE FROM LOCKHEED EMPLOYEE Applications? Past? Future? Tagging?
a. MOTIVATION - problem III. Project Requirements
b. PREVIOUS WORK- what's been done before a. Make it as big as possible for max visibility
i. Sentences are longer in the slide, but what you will be saying will be IV. Constraints
different. a. DON’T MISSPELL STUFF
1) Since ppt gives a double function as a report, more robust V. Background
explanation is on slide while quick summary is what you say. Use a. What they did last year. Performance, components, speed.
pictures to help illustrate points. VI. Block Diagram
c. RESEARCH OVERVIEW a. Current Voltage Power Labelled. Signal, Power, Current, Voltage, PWM, PCM, etc.
i. What you will do for your project. VII. Flight controller choices.
ii. MAJOR FOCUS POINTS a. Re-establish requirements.
1) Enumerate requirements & constraints b. Denote how you are weighing your choices between each component.
iii. Can use arrows to point to specific things. Don't go overboard tho
d. Couple of slides showing setup. (YOUR BD can go there) DRONE PROJECT FINAL 1st Semester
e. BLOCK TESTING
i. Showing how each result will go. I. Block Diagram is a lot more robust and complex.
f. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE - explain things that your audience should know that
are essential to presentation
g. CONCLUSION
3. Specifications: THE UAV doesn't need to have a pattern. They can seek however they want.
a. Are their weight limits? We want to optimize weight anyway but it
might be necessary. IR laser to disable it. You'll have the component. You will find the evader with a QR code.
b. Price Range? Might be answered in Talk with Raytheon. Will need camera. - are we getting the technology?
c. Operational time: How long will competition be?
d. Battery chemistry constraints? LiPo, NiMH, Alkaline, etc. Operating Time - Can move as fast or slow as you want, but need to make time limit.
e. Temperature constraints for components? Necessary for battery.
f. Power consumption of specific components – FC, ESC...
4. Necessary Parts: Don't have specs yet so not sure what we can do here, Ground Drones- do they need obstacle avoidance? No obstacle avoidance for them
but we can have a possible model so we can have a price point to haggle needed. Still wanna be within bounds. So its still a good idea to use it.

Ethan Quarles -
Statement of Work - Requirements for Project - Not comfortable sending it out until we're ready.
Logistics - Media Release Forms - List of People on Teams (ME EE CS) - Home Addresses
From Upstate NY, but lived in TX for as long as she worked at Raytheon.
Participants: EE Team, CSE Team, MAE Team, Dr. Wetz, Gretchen Mock
Still using zoom so time-limit might give us trouble again, but we can all just rejoin it seems like.
For next time - look at the plan in SOW, work with team, look at deadline dates. Look at plan for how we
will do for April Week 3
How are we storing and compiling code? Are we using github? Github will be a good idea. Can be used.
Meeting Details
▪ Date and Time: 9/11 at 12 pm
▪ Location: Teams
▪ Agenda:
• Introduction
▪ Talk to each other, introduce each other.
▪ Delineate roles within the team.
▪ Paperwork - Export Control, NDA, Media Release, IP agreement, Background
Check.
• Main Topic: Logistics and Planning
▪ Responsibilities to Instructors vs Responsibilities to Raytheon
□ Talk about what Dr. Wetz expects of EEs and what other professors
expect of CSEs and MEs.
We need to select and analyze components for our
presentation.
◊ SBCs - Many different Choices - Would like CSE team's
input. I believe they can all run on linux builds provided by
the manufacturer (or can be flashed). Want to focus on
Max TOPS(tera-operations per second) vs wattage, current
draw, voltage operating point
NVIDIA Jetson Family - Nano maybe? More than 1
type
ROCKPi - seems to be an Rpi w/ dedicated ML and AI
Beagleboard - Beaglebone AI
Coral Dev Board
RBP4 - cheapest most accessible but may or may not
be best TOPS/W ratio
◊ Everything else I believe will fall into place depending on
what type of SBC we get. That is going to be the most
important part
◊ Motors - what rating do we want.
KV rating - ratio of unloaded rpm to peak voltage
Type of motor depends on weight.
Aiming for a 1.5-2 kg drone
2:1 thrust to weight ratio
Need formulas.
Top Speed
□ Talk about how Gretchen has a timeline and deadlines for us to hit.
(Show SOW)
□ We need FAA Cert UAV Pilot
□ Obtain training for
Project management
Agile

Component: IR Receiver
Description:
For each foe configuration shoot 3 times from the IR gun at the UGV receiver from perpendicular
position at distance of 10ft. Validate the UGV screen increases hit count, lights and buzzer go off, log it,
and sends IRC message.
