The Autonomous Flight Systems Laboratory investigates and develops technology relevant to unmanned systems. Many of the projects allow students to work closely with industry partners as they research autonomous technology and explore its future uses, leading the way as drone operations continue to increase across the globe. Investigations consist of applying advanced avionics, sensors, and other payloads to various platforms including off-the-shelf fixed wing and multi-rotor unmanned aerial systems as well as customized platforms. Each project is taken from conceptual design through actual flight testing in the field and post flight analysis.
