Lernergebnisse
In this course, the students will be given the opportunity to design, develop and implement guidance, navigation or traffic management systems for manned or unmanned aircraft (e.g., UAS) and test these systems in a relevant environment. Examples could include UAS swarming, urban UAS navigation, multi-lateration for surveillance purposes, software-radio for navigation aids, autoland navigation for Air Taxis and UAS, indoor aerial search and rescue, or other avionics systems, etc. The projects are carried out in small groups following standard scientific and engineering methods.
Specific course outcomes:
- an ability to apply knowledge of flight guidance, navigation and air transport to the project topic
- an ability to deepen your understanding and knowledge by performing a literature search relevant to the project topic
- an ability to design a flight guidance, navigation and air transport system that meets a set of project needs
- an ability to apply standard systems engineering practices (i.e. derive requirements, develop a design and implement and test this design)
- an ability to communicate effectively using oral and written communication
- an ability to apply software tools (e.g. Matlab, Python, Robotic Operating System, etc.)
- an ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in the environmental and societal context
- ability to work efficiently as an individual and as part of a group
