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.
Vision Based Close Formation Flight of UAVs
This project aims at developing and implementing a vision based detection system to perform close formation flight of unmanned aerial systems. It is expected that the proposed system will support the development of advanced aerial systems in formation than can vastly increase operational range, performance and persistence through for example autonomous aerial refueling, efficient flight on a Leader’s wake vortices, and cooperative-coordinated tasks for autonomous missions.
