DTU Team (UAS)-DTU won the Third prize in National Level Competition on Design and Flying UAVs in FLYTRON


-->
Aerospace Engineering Department of Punjab Engineering College (PEC) University of Technology, Chandigarh organized a National Level Competition on Design and Flying UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) under the banner ‘FLYTRON’ on 25th & 26th February, 2017 in association with Aeronautics Research & Development Board (AR&DB), New Delhi and Aeronautical Society of India. This event gave opportunity for all those flying enthusiasts to be a part of the nationally acclaimed Unmanned Aerial Systems Challenge.

Delhi Technological University Team Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)- DTU won the third prize in this competition and a cash prize of Rs 40,000. The event was judged by the Dr. A.K Singh, Director INMAS, DRDO Delhi and Dr. Rakesh Kumar Head of Aeronautical Research and Development Board including an expert panel of judges who were checking the performance of the various teams. The team the Punjab Engineering College University of Technology was the winner of Flytron, whereas the team of University of Petroleum & Energy Studies-Dehradun was Second and Delhi Technological University Delhi Third. The competition had two independent events. Nine teams from various institutions of India participated in each of the events i.e. UAV competition and poster presentation.

In the first stage of the event, the team UAS-DTU was required to compete in teams by designing, fabricating and flying autonomous UAV wherein the UAV was required to perform certain predefined tasks. The team was judged on parameters like Manual control of the vehicle, Autonomous control of the vehicle, Intimation sensors to locate and analyze the target area, Processing of Information, Minimum human intervention. During this stage a movement came where the UAV had to perform autonomously, i.e. UAV was not under any active controls.

In the second stage of the event, the team UAS-DTU came up with an innovative conceptual designs of the UAV in the form of Poster Presentations, which was judged by Prof. Raj Kumar Pant of IIT Bombay.

The purpose of this competition was to promote interests in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and to engage students in challenging UAS missions and to show-off their Unmanned Aerial Vehicle designing skills and develop Indian Intellectual and Technical Expertise in unmanned systems technology. Whether it be a hostage situation or a typical case of traffic management. “Flytron” expects to develop an Indian experience and knowledge base towards Unmanned aerial systems technology where the participants can compete among the best of the country in this field. Many UAV industries and academic institutes came together to realize their vision in the field of Unmanned Aerial Systems.

Education and competition are the core ingredients of human culture and contribute in building the socio-economic infrastructure of the nation. India has emerged as an economic power in providing education to the masses. Universities, being the repository as well as the distributor of higher learning must take the necessary steps to modify the present educational system qualitatively as well as quantitatively.   We identify the existence of public socio-health problems and bring them to our research labs, develop technology-driven solutions to address such challenging an environment, thereby aiming at making the emerging world – a disease-free tomorrow. We are, thus, proud contributors of this socio-technological transformation, encouraging students with a spirit to cater to the needs of our contemporary society. Research playing the core role, our Department of Biotechnology has always supported technical advancement through cognitive and collaborative enterprise R&a
