Abstract

In preparation for the Student Unmanned Aerial Systems competition of 2015, the Technion Aerial Systems (TAS) team's objective was to design, develop, manufacture and verify a new and improved system, surpassing the capabilities of a system presented last year in the competition. Undergraduate students from both the Aerospace Engineering and the Electrical Engineering faculties developed the new system, named Tyto. The students designed and manufactured their own custom aircraft, suited for the competition's missions and integrated it with full autonomous capabilities, a high quality stabilized imaging payload, and reliable, independent communications to the Ground Control Station, while keeping safety a foremost priority throughout the entire process.
