The Loughborough University Team competing in the IMechE Unmanned Aerial System Challenge 2015. The team are looking to promote their design efforts through social and internet media in the hope of encouraging debate on the beneficial use of drone technology and generating support and advice from Disaster Relief/Search and Rescue teams.The team, consisting of 10 MEng(Hons) undergraduates has been tasked with creating a fully autonomous aerial system to complete a disaster relief mission in competition with other university teams. The competition will engage University Undergraduate teams in the design, construction, development and demonstration of an Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). With a Maximum Take-off Mass (MTOM) limit of 7kg, and operating within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS), the Unmanned Aircraft (UA) will be designed to undertake a representative humanitarian aid mission. The system will be required to operate automatically, performing a series of tasks such as area search, navigating waypoints, accurately dropping a payload and returning to base via a defined route.
