Indian students participate in UAV competition

July 16-31, 2011

A five-member student team from M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), Bangalore, has for the first time in India developed an UAV with an autopilot system. They recently participated in the eighth annual student Unmanned System Competition in Webster Field, Maryland, USA.

The autopilot system does not require a remote control to manoeuvre the electrically driven aircraft which competed in the 5-7 kg weight category at the event in USA.

The MSRIT team’s UAV can fly at speeds between 15-25 metres per second. The team members included – R. Prasanna, Prateek Khanna (both 3rd year), Srikanth Singh, Rahul Rajarsee (both 2nd year) and Vishnu B.V. (1st year).
