Survey, geolocation, and precision transmission with airborne software defined radio

Abstract

A group of students will fly an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with a radio transmitter to calibrate the beam pattern of, a radio tel escope. In addition, the radio will be used for geolocating ground transmitters (e.g., cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or artificial beacons). Both project use software-defined radios (SDRs) mounted on a drone. A significant part of the research will focus on progr amming autonomous flight patterns for the UAV. This research will generate important enabling technologies for DoD Own-Force monitor ing, as well as several other capabilities of potential interest to ONR.
