Capstone UAS project explores land, sea, air possibilities
A remotely piloted aircraft takes off from the Air Force Academy's Aardvark airfield April 11, 2012. The aircraft, part of a capstone research project by Cadets 1st Class Tristan Latchu, Danny Harold, Amy Abraham and Michael McClain, is designed to work in conjunction with an unmanned surface vehicle built by Naval Academy midshipmen and two unmanned ground vehicles built by U.S. Military Academy cadets.
