Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Currently writing a proposal for a grant from the National Science Foundation for up to $200k to stem the dramatic increase in rhino poaching in Africa. According to a recent Time Magazine article, prior to 2007, there was an average of 12 rhinos lost to poachers each year. Last year that number went up to 333!!! I am proposing the use of robotic UGVs (ATVs) as autonomous sentries in conjunction with UAVs to detect intrusions by poachers. http://goo.gl/ez1rD
