Senior Project

TEAM SEVEN

TEAM SEVEN stands for Trajectory Efficient Autonomous Mission for Surveillance Endurance and Vehicle Energy Needs 

The goal for the project was to design a control system in order to increase the efficiency of any aircraft flying a mission in austere environments in locations such as mountain ranges. In order to be able to safely and efficiently fly in such dangerous terrain, flight boundaries and pathing algorithms had to be designed to be reliable. Part of my role was defining where the aircraft could fly and the best place to do so. I also was responsible for the plotting package in order to be able to visualize these solutions to ensure the user knew what the system was outputting.
