MICROPHONE SO THAT THE WEB  AUDIENCE CAN HEAR WHAT'S BEING

SPEAKER TODAY. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO CONVINCE

HIM TO GIVE THIS SEMINAR. DEMOZ GEBRE-EGZIABHER.

HE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS  AREA OF WORKING WITH DRONES

AND UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES  FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

AND I REMEMBER HE WORKED WITH  THE MINNESOTA STATE PATROL

HELICOPTER FOLKS, LOOKING AT  THE RISK OF DRONES MIXING IT

UP WITH STATE PATROL  HELICOPTERS, AND WHAT ARE SOME

OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH  THAT, AND THAT WAS IN 2006,

2005, IN THAT TIME FRAME, SO  ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO BEFORE ALL

THE BUZZ ON DRONES THAT WE  HEAR ABOUT IN THE NEWSPAPER

GEBRE-EGZIABHER HAS BEEN ALL  OVER THE PLACE.

HE DID -- HE RECEIVED HIS Ph PhD AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

HE WAS A COMMISSIONED NAVAL  OFFICER FOR SIX, SEVEN YEARS.

LEFT THE SERVICE AS A  LIEUTENANT IN THE NAVY.

HE WORKED WITH THE NAVAL C.E.  SYSTEMS COMMAND IN WASHINGTON,

AND I'M SURE THERE WILL BE A  LOT OF QUESTIONS AFTER THIS

SO THANK YOU, MAX, FOR THAT  WELCOME, THE INVITE, AND THANK

YOU, EVERYONE, FOR BEING HERE  THIS AFTERNOON.

I'M GOING TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW  ABOUT UNMANNED AIRCRAFT

TALK ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES  FOR USING THESE IN TRAFFIC AND

INFRASTRUCTURE SURVEILLANCE  OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.

AND I'M GOING TO SPEND MORE  TIME ON THE CHALLENGE SIDE.

BECAUSE WE'LL SEE THERE'S ALL  KINDS OF THINGS WE CAN DO WITH

THESE VEHICLES, THERE'S ALL  KINDS OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE

HAVE AND THEIR VISION OF DOING  WITH THEM.

BUT ALL OF THESE COME WITH  SOME CHALLENGES THAT WE NEED

TO ADDRESS BEFORE WE CAN  ACTUALLY USE THESE ON A

DAY-TO-DAY APPLICATION. I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

THE OPPORTUNITIES, ALSO TALK  ABOUT THE CHALLENGES, SOME OF

THE THINGS WE'RE DOING HERE AT  THE U OF M TO ADDRESS SOME OF

THESE CHALLENGES. SO, WITHOUT -- BEFORE WE GET

INTO THE TOP -- THE MEAT OF  THE TOPIC, LET'S KIND OF

DEFINE SOME BACKGROUNDS  BACKGROUND TERMS

AND IDEAS, BASICALLY. SO, FIRST OF ALL, UNMANNED

AERIAL VEHICLES, THEY'RE  BASICALLY AIRCRAFT THAT ARE

OPERATED AUTONOMOUSLY, ALL  RIGHT, COULD BE COMPLETELY

AUTONOMOUSLY OR THERE COULD BE  SOMEONE ON THE GROUND REMOTELY

OPERATING THEM, CALLED DRONES,  THAT TERM BOTHERS ME, I GUESS

I'M LOSING, AND THAT'S  BECOMING THE STANDARD TERM SO

WE'LL CALL THEM DRONES OR THEY  COULD BE CALLED R.P.V.s OR

R.O.V.s, ANOTHER TERM THAT'S  USED FOR THEM.

THERE'S ALL KINDS OF ENVISION ENVISIONED APPLICATIONS FOR

THESE VEHICLES. THEY'RE BEING ENVISIONED FOR

WHAT ARE CALLED THE 3Ds OR  THE DANGEROUS, THE DIRTY AND

THE DULL MISSIONS. AND IF YOU WANT TO LIST SOME

OF THE DANGEROUS ONES, FOR  EXAMPLE, THAT'S SOME OF THE

THINGS WE DO AT THE U.A.V. LAB LAB, FLIGHT TESTING, THEY'RE A

NICE SURROGATE FOR BIG  AIRPLANES, WHERE IN THE PAST

YOU'D HAVE TO PUT A TEST PILOT  IN, NOW YOU CAN PUT A UNMANNED

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING,  THEY'RE BEING USED, FOR

EXAMPLE, TO MONITOR  SMOKESTACKS OF FACTORIES AND

SORT OF THINGS LIKE THAT. PRECISION AGRICULTURE, WE'RE

AND THEN YOU GOT THE DULL SIDE  OF IT, WHICH IS, WELL, DULL

NOT IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S  BORING, BUT IT'S CONTINUOUSLY

LOOKING AT INFRASTRUCTURE,  INSPECTING SOMETHING MIGHT BE

DULL, SO THEY COULD TAKE THAT  KIND OF DULLNESS AWAY FROM

HUMAN OPERATOR. SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF

APPLICATIONS THEY'RE BEING  LOOKED AT FOR.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THIS  TALK, I'M GOING TO LOOK AT

JUST TWO CASE STUDIES, TWO  CASES OF WHERE WE COULD USE

THEM IN TRAFFIC AND  INFRASTRUCTURE SURVEILLANCE,

AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE  LIMITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH

ARE CALLED SMALL OR CLASS 1  AND 2U.A.V.s, THEY COME IN

ALL KINDS OF SIZE AND RANGES. THE GLOBAL HAWK SHOWN HERE IS

ABOUT A 30,000 U.A.V., HAS A  WING SPAN ABOUT 130 FEET,

ABOUT THE SIZE OF A 737, IF  YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT

DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, WE'RE  GOING TO FOCUS ON THESE THAT
