FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Several aspects of the vehicle will continue to be developed after the competition, to support research and development efforts at Draper Laboratory. A more powerful flight computer will be integrated to support a robust, nonlinear, multivariable flight controller, capable of flying significantly away from hover. The system architecture will be modified to eliminate the dependence on ground-based navigation. Finally, the mission planning package will be enhanced to perform dynamic mission planning in real-time.
