About Me:

I am a 25+ year veteran research scientist, and have been an avid developer of UxV's for a long time. My R&D focus has been on experimental sensors and automated system health monitoring and now I am adapting that to UxV's.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I work for the DoD and am developing new sensor payloads. a DIY drone is ideal for prototyping and field testing.

I haven't charted your 'funny loiter circles' yet, but I suspect they will look like mine, something less than nice circles I get from my Radian Pro's outfitted with APM1.4's (I have at least a dozen of these built - they work great).
