1 MAV and UAV Research at Andrew Streett 5 th year BS/MS Student MAV Team Lead Jason Grow BS/MS Graduate of RIT MAV Team Lead Boeing Phantom Works, HB jason.a.grow@boeing.com

2 Outline Introduction of MAV and UAV RIT Mechanical Engineering Projects, Facilities and Research RIT MAV/UAV Integration Road Map and Research Thrusts MAV Research UAV Research MAV/UAV Objectives Sponsorship Needs

3 History of MAV / UAV DARPA (1993) contracted Aerovironment to produce a MAV that had maximum linear dimensions of 6 inches Designed and built the Black Widow 1996 International MAV Competition began for Universities UF, UA, Notre Dame, Brigham Young This will be the 4th year that RIT has been involved in this research UAV s have become the next generation of intelligence Military and Civilian Military Globalhawk and Aerovironment Pointer Endurance - 30 min Range 1.8 km Video Flight Data Heading, Speed, etc.

4 R.I.T. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Students ~120 students per year Variety of Concentrations offered Aerospace Automotive Bio-Engineering Energy and Environment Mandatory Co-op (Significant presence with Boeing and other large corporations) Multi-Disciplinary Capstone Projects Involves integrating senior design projects from all Engineering majors Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, Industrial and Software Engineering Introduces program management, design process, etc. System of System Engineering Graduate Programs BS/MS Program Controls, Thermo/Fluids and Structures Concentrations Research funded by department and major corporations Boeing, Delphi, Kodak, Xerox, Borg-Warner, Valeo, General Mills, Sentry Safe and more
