Page 22.1087.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Multi-Disciplinary Capstone Design Project: An Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for Vehicle TrackingAbstractOver the past several years we have used a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)applications as multidisciplinary capstone design projects. In this paper, we present one of thoseprojects in which the goal of the UAS is to search, detect, and identify an approaching vehicle,then relay the identity of the vehicle to a ground station in an environment with radio frequency(RF) interferences. The project team had seven students from four different majors: SystemEngineering Management, System Engineering, Computer
