HeavyLift UAV
Hex-rotor UAV with modular docking system, allowing for a variety of hardware modules to be installed. Each module adds unique mission capabilities. While the initial prototype utilized a off-the-shelf Naza v2 flight computer (FMU), the entire system was retrofitted with a prototype FMU at a later date. Powered by an Intel Edison paired with a pixhawk FMU, the system allowed for Python and C+ code to be compiled and run natively on the drone. This FMU allowed for the diverse hardware module ecosystem designed for the DroneON UAV.
The Team
DroneON was born out of a high school science project. Nine students from schools in the Portland metro area with a shared passion came together to create a startup.
The Goal
After pitching at a statewide startup competition for high school students, TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE), DroneON went to the global competition in Atlanta, GA.
