The Fall and Winter Quarter for Triton UAS had many notable pieces of development for our teams in the face of setbacks caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Here is an update on what we’ve been working on and what our teams will be up to in the coming Spring Quarter.
Despite the 2021 AUVSI SUAS Competition being cancelled, the Technical Design Papers will still be submitted and assessed. Triton UAS has completed the February 15th, 2021 deadline and our Technical Design Paper, which is available for viewing below.
Triton UAS entered the 2019–2020 academic year with multiple important goals to achieve, related to both administrative and technical aspects of our organization. Although at the end of the academic year we were unable to attend the annual AUVSI SUAS Competition due its cancellation in response to COVID-19, Triton UAS was still capable of accomplishing several of the goals set out at the beginning of the year.
As stated earlier in our Winter 2020 Recap and Spring Goals blog post, our goal was to finish and publish our technical design paper by the original competition deadline, May 15th, to prepare for next year’s competition, show potential and current members, future and current sponsors, as well as UCSD engineering departments what we have accomplished this year despite these limiting circumstances. The complete paper is below:
