SEOCS Colloquium - August 05 & 06, 2015

Abstract:

Continuous monitoring of sea surface conditions at low altitude is needed to obtain high resolution data which satellites cannot provide. A system of small low cost unmanned aircraft (UAV) can provide this provided they are adequately hardened to encounter wind gusts and occasional water spray. Recent advances in electronics and electric propulsion technology have dropped cost and improved capability of UAV platforms. A solution for augmenting this further with Dr.Sumon Sinha’s patented "Deturbulator" turbulence control technology is presented. The final UAV platform will have Deturbulators integrated into the design. They will have the required endurance and payload capacity while stably negotiating near surface winds and wind gusts.
