inertial and, or GPS) above mean sea level and radar altimeter measurements of
height above ground level (agl), with terrain heights amsl from the stored map
data (DTED).Using Pattern matching algorithm, find the position of the aircraft
and avoid the control flight into terrain (CFIT).
Technology used : C++
My Role in the project: Trainee Engineer/Developed Terrain display using
OpenGL concept.
Master’s Thesis Work
Madras Institute of Technology/DARE, India Jul’09 – Nov’09
 Project Name : Lateral Axis Flight control using Adaptive Backstepping of
an UAV: Develops a control law using an adaptive backstepping algorithm for
the aileron movement to make the aircraft fly in the desired flight path by
eliminating the sideslip effect. Project is successful in derived the various gains
are made to adjust themselves so as to produce the result efficiently and thereby
making less time consuming and the control surfaces movement with regulated
sideslip.
Technology used : Matlab, Simulink, Neural and Control Tool Box.
Graduate Thesis Work Dec’07-May’08
 Project Name : Wireless printer using radio frequency: The typical way to
share a printer between multiple computers on a small wireless network is to
connect the printer to one of the computers, and then enable it to be shared across
the network. To printing the data at a distance of 1000 meters efficiently without
wired Connection using microcontroller.
