Overview
Rhino Horns have high monetary value
~$30,000 per pound
“Healing Properties”
Aesthetically pleasing
Poachers are a problem
Approx 1000 Rhinos poached last year
Poaching is increasing

3. Plan: WCUAV Competition

Plan: WCUAV Competition
Build an autonomous UAV to track poachers
Increase surveillance coverage
Decrease reaction time
Hopefully increase Rhino Population
Make it easy, versatile, and reliable
A multitude of sensing equipment
Long range
Abstracted UI
