Research participated in the AUVFEST 07 exercise conducted by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The objectives of the exercise (as far as this thesis work is concerned) were to demonstrate networked communications in a distributed autonomous vehicle system, and to demonstrate highbandwidth communications at long range using ScanEagle as a data communications relay. The experiments were conducted at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) where a section of the base has airspace over water. Of particular…

where something is. A GPS tracking system, for example, may be placed in a vehicle, on a cell phone, or on special GPS devices, which can either be a fixed or portable unit. GPS works by providing information on exact location. It can also track the movement of a vehicle or person. So, for example, a GPS tracking system can be used by a company to monitor the route and progress of a delivery truck. A GPS tracking unit uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network. This network…

During my experience dealing with running and the many ways to track the statistics of each run, I came across the Garmin GPS watches and quickly utilized their abilities. Like any other producer, Garmin did not just make one model so I will compare their most popular watches, the Garmin Forerunner 225 and the Forerunner 10. The cost is the first thing people many runners look at. The Forerunner 10 is $129.99, while the cost of the Forerunner 225 is $299.99. Next, we will look at the size of…

Skills that are needed to take care of ourselves are diminishing. Reliance on high-tech gadgets allow people to get the answer without the necessary skills needed to get it. GPS, medical monitors and cell phones all contribute to the important skills diminishing. First, with GPS devices we no longer need to learn how to navigate or read a map. All you need is the address or coordinates for where you want to go and the GPS can give you directions and in some cases even navigate you, turn to turn…

directions to anywhere we want to go. Before there was GPS, drivers had to bring a giant roadmap with them, and use it to find where they were going. Now, you just put the address into the GPS, and it will give you directions on where to go. Some GPS systems can even talk to you to give you directions. If you ever get lost while you are driving or if your on foot, GPS can lead you back to wherever you want to go. You can almost never get lost. The invention of GPS has changed the way the world…

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM The Global Positioning System (GPS) also called NAVSTAR is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into space for military use, yet they were made accessible for civilian use in the 1980s. It is comprised of satellites, ground stations, and receivers. These satellites can tell the exact location where someone is situated. GPS works in any climate conditions, anyplace on…

allows you to check the output from the GPS, such as the number of satellites it’s connected to. If you’re working inside, you’re probably not seeing any data. The GPS units connected to drones are actually GPS receivers. The true GPS is the Global Positioning System, which is a network of around 31 satellites (the number varies over time) that orbit the Earth and transmit high-frequency, lower power radio signals. As electromagnetic radiation, these signals travel at the speed of light. They…

Technology is changing rapidly. You will note that most people are using modern technologies to do various activities. Drones have become very popular nowadays. In the past, drones were used primarily for military and surveillance purposes. However, nowadays, drones are used in several areas. You will note that they are used in gathering information for research purposes, traffic management, aerial photography, movie production and so forth. These gadgets are also used in the planning and…

“By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination” a quote by Christopher Columbus explains how he felt after his technology failed him by leading him in the Americas and not Asia according to his plan. Christopher Columbus took part in the "Age of Discovery", which was a time during the 15th and 16th century when European leaders, starting with Portugal, sponsored the expeditions to undiscovered land in hopes of expanding their…

either side of an issue when presenting it to an audience, as it relies solely on the facts and the scientific research available on the topic. I think the interactive theater format could be used to talk to communities about controversial topics in global service such as voluntourism. The scene would present the audience with all of the facts on voluntourism, the pros and cons of it, and what each side has at stake on the issue. By not advocating for either side, it allows each audience member…
