Impact through Technical Innovation
Boston Engineering's development of the Wind Profile Generator enhances the capabilities of sUAS testing and training by providing a versatile, portable, and standardized solution with advanced features that contribute to the improvement of sUAS technologies and their applications in various industries.
Here are the key ways in which this technology contributes to advancements:
Standardized Testing and Performance Criteria:
The Wind Profile Generator enables standardized testing and establishes performance criteria through repeatable testing and profiling. This ensures consistent and reliable results, allowing sUAS operators, trainers, and researchers to assess and compare performance effectively.
Integration with Other Test Capabilities:
This technology integrates seamlessly with other test capabilities, such as GPS denied tests and wind tests. The ability to combine various testing scenarios provides a comprehensive evaluation of sUAS capabilities in different conditions, contributing to the development of robust and versatile systems.
Exact sUAS Positioning:
The system provides exact positioning data for sUAS, offering information on its location when it enters, is within, and exits defined boundary zones. This precision is crucial for evaluating performance within specific areas and ensuring that the sUAS operates as intended.
Event Triggering:
The Wind Profile Generator can trigger events, such as gusts or defined wind profiles, when a sUAS enters a specified area. This feature allows for controlled and targeted testing, simulating real-world conditions and assessing the sUAS's response to different environmental factors.
Environmental Monitoring:
The technology monitors ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and wind direction. This comprehensive environmental monitoring ensures that testing conditions are well-documented and accounted for, contributing to the accuracy and reliability of the results.
Data Sharing and Connectivity:
The system allows for data sharing via network connectivity, promoting collaboration and information exchange among sUAS operators, trainers, and researchers. This connectivity facilitates the integration of findings into broader research efforts and promotes knowledge sharing within the community.
Advanced Obstacle Course Integration:
The Wind Profile Generator can be integrated as part of an advanced sUAS obstacle course. This capability enhances training scenarios, allowing for the development of more complex and realistic challenges that sUAS operators may encounter in real-world applications.
