This project focused on developing solutions to detect, intercept, and neutralize potential drone threats:
- Intelligence for Behavior: Interns worked on analyzing and predicting drone behaviors to enhance detection capabilities.
- Ground Station Development: Designed and implemented control systems for tracking and managing counter-UAS operations.
- Net Gun Attachment: Created a system to attach a net gun to a drone, enabling it to safely capture and disable rogue drones mid-air.
This project emphasized real-world applications in drone security and airspace protection.
The Cyclocopter is a unique fixed-wing drone equipped with three small, adjustable wing rotors, making it a standout innovation:
- Innovative Design: The rotors, capable of adjusting pitch, lift the fixed-wing drone off the ground and allow it to spin and maneuver in the air.
- Precision Engineering: Interns contributed to refining the mechanics and testing the flight capabilities of this advanced design.
- Applications: The Cyclocopter's compact, adaptable structure makes it suitable for environments where traditional drones are less effective.
This project revolved around enhancing the precision and control of drones in indoor environments:
- Strategic Camera Placement: Developed and tested systems to position cameras in indoor spaces for optimal coverage.
- Pinpoint Accuracy: Used camera data to track drones in 3D space, ensuring reliable positioning even in GPS-denied environments.
- Practical Implementation: Enabled drones to navigate and perform tasks indoors with high accuracy, essential for applications like warehouse automation or search-and-rescue missions.
