UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. In the military, these are increasingly called Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), to reflect that the aircraft is just part of a complex system in the air and on the ground.
Bad. News. Bears.
I met a guy who's part of a crew working on a quadcopter with a unique modification that I won't detail
out of respect for his project's goal -- securing a $100K DARPA prize.
Looks like there's a lot of really scribbley math involved, including GPS, algorithms for estimating location/vector, etc. And not to mention programming the arduino, and the circuitry itself. I wish I'd been more dedicated to learning C when I was 14. It is what it is.
On the bright side, I definitely have a really strong shortlist of people to turn to for help on any and every aspect of the project: (theoretical math, aerospace, materials, electrical, arduino, AI).
What IS the project, you might ask?
CLASSIFIED
