Multi-Rotor Platform Based UAV Systems is aimed at providing an excellent opportunity for experiential learning, capability augmentation and confidence building for senior level undergraduates, entry-level graduates as well as engineers working in government agencies and industry involved in UAV R&D. Topics in this book include: introduction to VTOL multi-copter UAV platforms; UAV system architecture; integration in the national airspace including UAV classification and associated missions, regulation and safety, certification and air traffic management; integrated mission planning including autonomous fault tolerant path planning and vision based auto landing systems; flight mechanics and stability; dynamic modeling; flight controller development; sense, detect and avoid systems; flight testing including safety assessment instrumentation and data acquisition telemetry and synchronization data fusion and geo-location of identified targets; Energy power and thrust management including electrical power, battery cells, propellers, and electrical motors; Matlab/Simulink software including system identification based dynamic models, Aeroquad quadcopter Simulink model controller development and optimization techniques, reference manoeuvres and robustness testing of degraded flight models due to malfunctions; Implementation in existing off the shelf platforms including the Parrot AR drone and the Aeroquad quadcopters.

Coupled with the MATLAB/SIMULINK computational tools and off-the-shelf hardware implementation tutorials, this book provides an excellent opportunity for experiential learning, capability augmentation and confidence building for senior level undergraduates, entry-level graduates as well as engineers working in government agencies and industry involved in UAV R&D
The book is student cantered and provides a quick and efficient means to conceptualize, design and synthesis, analyse using modeling and simulations, fabricate/integrate, test and validate
The ability to purchase readily available multi-rotor systems and sub-systems will provide international appeal for engineering students and professionals
