Embry-Riddle partners with private and public entities to assist in developing solutions to today's and tomorrow's aeronautical and aerospace problems. Here at the world's largest aviation-oriented university, our focus on applied research is unique.

Multirotor Vector Control User Interface

PI Brent Terwilliger

This research represents the conceptual design of a multirotor control methodology to support observing areas outside direct line-of-sight (LOS) to locate objects of interest in tactical environments. It is hypothesized that design of an interface featuring vector/autopilot control would reduce operator attentional allocation, supporting the maintenance of localized situational awareness.
