Team Structure
New and improved for the new year!
The upcoming academic term brings significant expansions to PART, with the continued development of the newly-introduced R&D and Business Management teams. Working alongside our Competition Team, these teams have helped satisfy the long-time goal for PART to create a professional environment for our members to gain practical experience in.
Innovation In UAS Design
Unique approaches and new methods of manufacturing.
We use precise engineering and next generation construction methods to create effective airframes using 75%+ composite materials. Our modern designs are achieved using additive and subtractive manufacturing methods that are fueled by high precision tools and machinery. This has yielded a 30% reduction in weight along with an outstanding increase in mechanical properties and strength.
CUSTOMIZED
POWER SYSTEMS
Nurturing skills in a range of
domains of electrical engineering.
Development of internal systems for aircraft avionics and navigation is what gives our mission system its top-notch performance. Our members create custom PCBs for power distribution, communication systems, and avionics wiring. Having these systems created internally provides us with the ability to effectively understand and maintain our UAS throughout its mission lifecycle.
INTEGRATION OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Custom mechanical systems for specific mission profiles
Our organization explores the design and manufacturing of mechanical components including complex parachute deployment systems, precision payload selection and release mechanisms, and customized landing gear for our airframes. Specialized systems allow us to complete our complex missions as precisely and effectively as possible.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
We’re changing the way the world thinks about UAS
Our software is developed using machine learning algorithms to power our integrated target detection and classification models. Our networks learn from a diverse data set that is both sourced both synthetically and recreated with high accuracy. This AI platform is optimized to be deployed on the edge with maximum efficiency.
Start Here, Go Anywhere
Through PART, you will gain industry experience that will carry you throughout your career.
