[1].UAV HistoryThe first “claimed” heavier-than-air, powered flight was of a UAV, over the Potomac River, by Dr. Sam Langley (1896)The first radio-controlled UAV flights were converted Navy trainers, flown over Long Island (1917)The first mass production UAV was the Kettering Bug, costing $400 and capable of carrying a 300 lb bomb (1918)

The British Queen Bee UAV was landed by dragging a weighted antenna line on the ground, which then pulled back the stick and the throttle (1935)4 UAVs with 2000 lb bombs attacked the Japanese merchantman, Yamazuki Maru, scoring two direct hits (1944)Marilyn Monroe was “discovered” while working in the Radioplane OQ-3 UAV factory (1945)Slide11

Introduction to Paparazzi Project

Paparazzi is an open-source autopilot system oriented toward inexpensive autonomous aircraft of all types. The project began in 2003 and has enjoyed constant growth and evolution ever since. The system has been used on dozens of airframes and implemented by several teams around the world. Hundreds of hours of autonomous flight have been successfully achieved with the Paparazzi system.[25].Slide33

Only possible for government departments (public universities)!A sample COA we got is at http://aggieair.usu.eduSoE Professional Seminar "UAV: When we can file-n-fly?!"Slide-40/1024Slide41

FAA RetaskingIn the United States, lawmakers just passed a long awaited bill setting requirements to integrate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the national airspace (NAS) on Feb. 6, 2012. Such requirements would set deadlines for full-scale integration in fall 2015.NASA UAS2NAS $12.5M (only two universities awarded: USU and NMSUSoE Professional Seminar "UAV: When we can file-n-fly?!"Slide-41/1024Slide42
