4. P09233 Measurements The mission of the Measurements group is to provide a means for measuring and calculating all the necessary parameters for the flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Primarily through the use of superior measuring devices, and accurate dynamic characterizations. We strive to provide accurate data from our measurement systems for in-flight control and monitoring. We strive to exceed engineering standards while encouraging an environment for intellectual growth.

5. R09230 Mission Statement Product Description /Project Overview The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle family of projects is intended to create an open source, open architecture platform to hold imaging systems for research projects and law enforcement. Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables The primary business goals of this product are to Create a product that is more cost effective than existing solutions. Create a stable, easily controlled aerial platform. Create an open source UAV platform that can carry and control an imaging system. Primary Market / Project Opportunities The primary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is the RIT College of Imaging Science. It is intended as a tool to facilitate imaging research, and to enhance their image capturing abilities. Secondary Market / Project Opportunities The secondary market for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is Public Safety Officials. Primarily for Law Enforcement to increase their response capabilities, and decrease their reliance on manned aircraft, thus decreasing their aerial costs. This can also be used by fire departments to track wildfires or realtors who sell large tracts of land. Stakeholders Stakeholders in the design of our product include the following: – R09560 - Open Architecture, Open Source Aerial Imaging Systems – College of Imaging Science – Law Enforcement Agencies – Fire Departments – Realtors / Appraisers – The Communities in which our law enforcement customers reside

6. Target Specifications Measure required parameters to characterize a test frames surrounding conditions as well as its internal conditions Provide accurate, relevant and continuous data for the Roadmap Project Additional measurements of onboard systems that require continuous measuring/monitoring Exact design number and type of measurements, as well as the expected range of this data is still undetermined, but has been rudimentarily discussed Customer needs: Require reliable airframe, low maintenance
