What we expect…

• Proposal (2-3 Pages)

• Overview, Motivation

• Hardware Requirements

• Use cases

3 Contracts3.1 Use case scenarioDrones have multiple purposes and can carry a lot of equipment and sensors on board for a fairly short amount of time.

Using it to measure temperature condition in a remote destination is possible without setting up a central weather

station. Thus we can overlook a large amount of places ...

Our drone allows it to enter a set of GPS coordinates and the drone automatically reaches its destination, takes a

picture and records the current weather conditions.

3.2 Must-Haves• The drone can fly• Webinterface allows setting of a course on google maps coordinates

• Photographs are possible and can be transmitted wirelessly to a central storage

• I can hover without changing the position

3.3 May-Haves• The drone measures the temperature, humidity and athmospheric pressure

• Webinterface allows for recording of videos

• automatic fly back• I can hover without changing the position

3.4 Must-not-haves• No collision detection, e.g. overland power lines, birds

• No weather resistence• No power supply measurements
