Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop a multi-unmanned aerial system (UAS) to aid in forensic collection and analysis efforts in a post-nuclear blast, by providing a radiation gradient heat-map and live video overwatch of the area. A multidisciplinary team of West Point cadet and six faculty advisors took on this challenge as part of a senior level academic capstone project….
