• how we meet the requirement for automated launch/flight to the intruders

Noise Signature

?

• what UAV and/or navigational strategies are we using to minimize noise?

Safety

• How we intend to avoid colliding with things

• Any other safety systems implemented

System Level Testing

• Flight tests - ?

• Firmware Tests (Dhruv)

• testing process implemented during development and in preparation for practice flights and scenarios

Technical Innovation and Novelty

Weight: 10

Be Sure To Include:

Novel Approach to Mission Requirements

• How overall and individual strategy for completing tasks is novel. (NOT talking about technologies required - that’s something else)

Novel Elements

?

• Novel technology systems in the overall system. (What does our UAS have that make sit novel in the execution of the Tasks)

Safety and Risk Management

Weight:15

Be Sure To Include

System Level Safety Issues

*will go under ‘Safety’ later

• What safety issues are important

• How we are addressing them

Single Point Failure Modes

*will go under 'Safety' later

• What failure modes we anticipate

• How we are addressing them

Risk Management Plan

• delegated across leads?

• What risks exist that may affect ability to successfully compete in Southport

• How we are addressing these risks

1. Risk categories should include technical, programmatic, budget, and/or others. Risk planning must include:

   1. Identification of the risk;

   2. Likelihood that the risk will happen;

   3. Impact on the project if the risk occurs; and

   4. Measures you will take to reduce the likelihood of the risk and to mitigate its effects if it does happen.

2. Milestones - Key events in the project that signal things are progressing as planned

3. Schedule - Gantt chart of all significant activities in the development of the system and planning for the event

4. Budget - purchase of ‘stuff’ for the system (don’t forget to include travel and other things)
