I don't know if it's just coincidental, but a lot of the examples seem to be concerned with keeping jets from flying into mountains, as opposed to flying into level ground, which was the first thing that came into mind when I saw "Ground Collision."
- mik3y 12y agoCool find! The pictures (and one slide) show an Android phone being used on a "Dryden drone", looks like it might have been a prototyping platform. Would love to see more detail about this. Edit: Ah, here's a senior project at CalPoly that was sponsored by NASA and looks related: http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1199&context=mesp http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...
- termain 12y agoQuite impressive senior project. I know CalPoly aerospace does well with interacting with the industry and NASA.
