About me: Growing up I always had an interest in Aviation. My father was in the military for the entirety of my life in which he flew helicopters. I would hear stories about his deployments and the different operations he conducted while in the Army. Fast forward to my sophomore year, I was an animation major here at Purdue. I was struggling in the program and was not sure what I wanted to do with my education anymore. It was then that I discovered the UAS program. I was never interested in the concept of drones until I began taking classes in the UAS major which combined both of my two passions, computer science and aviation. During my first few classes I fell in love with the amount of versatility and utility that drones can offer. This sparked me to pursue this major full force in hopes to push what this ever changing industry can do. As the rest of my education continues, I hope to discover more in the area of geographic information. AT 319 focuses on using data collected via unmanned systems and developing it in order to process meaningful and clear data for various operations. This is the area of UAS that I am most interested in and I will continue to strive for me knowledge.

Measure Ground Control

What is Measure Ground Control? Measure Ground Control is an immensely powerful SSoT (Single Source of Truth) application that allows the user to have an all-encompassed platform for UAS operations. The application has everything a flight crew would need to plan, execute, and analyze various missions. It includes a map, allowing the user to view locations and understand airspace restrictions. It also includes a settings menu that allows the pilot to adjust any settings without having to switch between applications (In our case we were flying a DJI Mavic 2 Pro which normally uses the DJI GO 4 app). Lastly, it features an extensive flight planning function that gives users full control over creating flight plans that can be fully automated. For this lab, we did a deep dive into the software to get a better understanding of all of its functions which will be explained in detail below. T he Airspace Map Flight planning is one of the most important aspects of UAS operations and should be do...
