General Programs
RFNet AeroTelemetry, Inc.
Designed and developed RF remote data collection devices for use with environmental sensors and web based (JAVA) data presentation. Created 8-bit protocol to meet RF requirements using simple chip.
HRP Wireless Data Collection
Extended 8-bit protocol to include bi-directional communications - developed design and layout for single board implementation.
HRP UAV
Developed business plan for $2.5 million to create UAV prototype for international science and survey. R & D efforts to develop the ground-based prototype of a generic UAV avionics suite (meets all FAA circular advisories for UAVs) is on-going.
