Early Summer Field Trial

Tuesday, May 29, 2008

Earlier this summer students from the HCMI teamed up with members of the MAGICC and Vision labs to run a test trial of the UAV near the hills west of Santaquin. The students were given an imagined situation describing the last known place that the missing person was supposedly seen, as well as a description of their clothing. The UAV was in the air and flying a search pattern within a short time of arriving at the site, with students assigned to different responsibilities in aiding the search. After an initial search and a pause to change out the batteries in the UAV, the team located the hidden mannequin in less than a half hour.
