About NSIT UAV is the official aeronautical team of Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology. Mission The team will represent India at the following international and national events. The Seafarer Chapter of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) continues the Student Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Competition aimed at stimulating and fostering interest in unmanned systems, technologies and careers. The focus is on engaging students in systems engineering a total solution to a challenging mission, requiring the design, fabrication and demonstration of a system capable of completing a specific autonomous aerial operation. National Programme on Micro Air Vehicle (NPMICAV) is a joint initiative of Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Department of Science and Technology (DST). Objective of NPMICAV is to indigenously develop Micro Air Vehicle (MICAV) technologies at sub-system as well as system level. Description A newly born society paving its way towards creating aerial drones with various space age technologies such as autonomous flight and environment detection. The team aims to participate in various worldwide and Indian aerospace and aeronautical programmes and competitions, toward the betterment of defense systems. Every year, the team will design, process and release a new drone design and will try to have tie-ups with the various government agencies for the betterment and recognition of the project. This way, the team members will have a hands on experience in various fields of engineering namely Mechanical,Aeronautics, Electronics, Communication,& Graphics Analysis.

1. ORIENTATION

2.  Unmanned
Aerial Systems (UAS)- NSIT is a
newly born society that aims to create
aerial drones with various space age
technologies such as autonomous flight and
environment detection.
 The
team aims to participate in various
worldwide and Indian aerospace and
aeronautical programmes and
competitions, toward the betterment of
defense systems.

3.  The
Seafarer Chapter of the Association for
Unmanned Vehicle Systems International
(AUVSI) continues the Student Unmanned
Aerial System (UAS) Competition aimed at
stimulating and fostering interest in
unmanned systems, technologies and
careers. The focus is on engaging students in
systems engineering a total solution to a
challenging mission, requiring the design,
fabrication and demonstration of a system
capable of completing a specific autonomous
aerial operation.

An earthquake has impacted a small island nation in the
Caribbean. Several boatloads of pirates who have been operating
in the area have landed and are attempting to take advantage of the
ensuing chaos.
The overwhelmed local government has put out a call for help and
the US Marines have responded. Their tasking includes
humanitarian relief and security.
Your unmanned aerial system (UAS) is supporting their mission
with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). In order
to support them, your UAS must comply with Special Instructions
(SPINS) for departure and arrival procedures, and then remain
within assigned airspace.
It will be tasked to search an area for items of interest, and may be
tasked to conduct point reconnaissance if requested.
Additionally, the UAS may be tasked to relay data from a third
party Simulated Remote Information Center (SRIC). Immediate
ISR tasking may be requested outside currently assigned
airspace, causing the UAS operators to request deviations.

5. 



To serve as a regional focal point and clearinghouse for UAV and
unmanned systems matters of interest.
To provide functional support in matters of community interest
by promoting government, contractor and academia working
relationships.
To develop a series of professionally enhancing events including
working luncheons and dinners as well as regional symposia on
topical matters of scientific, engineering and programmatic
importance affecting unmanned systems.
To provide a regional technical forum for communication of
scientific, engineering and other information of interest to the
unmanned systems community.
To do such other lawful acts as may contribute to the furtherance
of scientific and engineering knowledge in support of unmanned
systems.
To have the normal functions, operations, programs and pursuits
incidental to a fully recognized and operational nonprofit center
for the advancement of unmanned systems.

8.  International
exposure.
 Cohesive team bonding and thus, you learn
to work as a team.
 The Team Members will have a hands on
experience in various fields of engineering
namely
Mechanical, Aeronautics, Electronics, Commu
nication & Graphics Analysis.
 Closely related to curriculum.

9.  How
can UAVs be integrated in established
commercial and military Air Traffic Control
Systems? How can the Control Tower give
flight instructions to the non-existent pilot in
a UAV?
 Can the operation of the UAV be de-skilled,
since the pilot is no longer required? In fact,
could the UAV take off, flight and landing be
managed entirely by computer (ie.
automated flight), leaving the only human
intervention the servicing of the UAV?
