You will prepare a four to five-page report (not including title and reference pages) in the current APA format that includes the following:
Descriiption of the application you’ve chosen and how UAS are used to perform those types of missions. How many UAS are actively being used for this purpose? What class of UAS are they (i.e., sUAS under 55 lbs/ 25kg, medium, or large)?
You will then provide a UAS Profile Summary with the appropriate sections. Note: This is a summary of attributes of all the UAS performing the mission in the country, not a summary of a single UAS. Each section should include a very brief summary of the average attributes for each of the properties below, along with a chart or graph summarizing these data. You may provide a graphic for each individually or combine attributes related to one another. An example would be to combine max speed and cruise speed or endurance, range, and altitude on the same chart. Just be sure that the chart reflects the written summary you provide along with it.
Sections include:
Platform Properties
Airframe Type
Energy Source Propulsion
Maximum Takeoff Weight (MGTOW or MTOW) (lbs.)
Payload Weight (lbs.)
Performance Properties
Max Speed (knots)
Cruise Speed (knots)
Endurance (hours)
Range (mi.)
Max Altitude (ft.)
You will need to research details about the application/mission. You will use the Shephard Media Database to obtain your data for this project. A tutorial was provided as part of the registration process, but you do have access to the points of contact listed to assist you if you experience any issues or need help downloading the data to an Excel spreadsheet.
