Report on Expenditure of DURIP Funds
Abstract
The following equipment has been procured with the subject contract funds: 2 each, Demonstrant Integrated UAV Testbed, at a cost of $182,000 per unit. The Integrated Demonstrant UAV Airframe and Avionics Hardware is a build-to-order system described in detail in the attached Airframe and Avionics Specification. This equipment is presently being used to support an Air Force Office of Scientific Research contracted research project in the area of controlled active vision (Guided Systems Technologies, Cornell University and the Georgia Institute of Technology Phase II STTR Award, Contract F49620-02-C-0017). Immediate potential future uses for these testbeds will include demonstrations of adaptive cooperative flight control concepts presently being developed under our AFOSR grant (Research in Neural Network Based Adaptive Control, Contract F49620-01-1-0024), and in support of a MURI effort (if awarded) in the area of vision based flight control in complex 3-D adversarial environments.
