DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND STRUCTURAL CERTIFICATION OF UNMANNED AIR VEHICLES

Camosun学院很高兴地宣布，Camosun应用研究和创新（CARI）通过 Camosun技术访问中心（CTAC）将与Quaternion航空航天公司合作，一个维多利亚， 总部位于不列颠哥伦比亚省的研发和咨询公司，专注于创新的无人机 (UAV- 也称为UAS、无人机）和相关子系统。这一伙伴关系将涉及一个为期两年的三级， 自然科学与工程研究理事会（NSERC）的ARD赠款。 该项目将包括以下内容：（1）设计一个飞行平台， 呈现出高度非线性的结构响应，以准确地捕捉和处理结构， 气动响应这些非传统的测试飞机将需要定制的航空电子设备和控制， 提高目前正在实施的技术和专门知识方面的创新潜力， （2）开发高度模块化和可定制的机身试验台， 提供给加拿大公司和学术机构积极在无人机（UAV） 市场 2013年，Teal Group Corporation对UAS进行了一项研究，预测UAS市场将增长。 从目前每年52亿美元的开支增加到今后10年的890亿美元。四元 航空航天公司将在这个令人兴奋的新领域发挥重要作用。 Camosun学院为10，000多名全日制学生提供160多个学位，文凭和其他证书课程， 还有3,000名兼职学生在美丽的不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚。学院教育和准备了更多的 在其40年的历史中，有超过50，000名毕业生在市场上脱颖而出，每年对当地经济的影响为8.166亿美元。

Camosun College is pleased to announce that Camosun Applied Research and Innovation (CARI) through Camosun Technology Access Centre (CTAC) will be partnering with Quaternion Aerospace Inc., a Victoria, British Columbia based R&D and consulting company that focuses on innovative Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV - also known as UAS, Drones) and related subsystems. This partnership will involve a 2 year, level III, ARD grant with Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). This project will involve the following: (1) Design and full instrumentation of a flying platform capable of exhibiting a highly nonlinear structural response, to accurately capture and process the structural and aerodynamic response. These unconventional test aircraft will require custom avionics and controls which will increase the innovative potential in terms of technology and know-how currently being implemented in unmanned aircraft; (2) Development of highly modular and customizable airframe test rigs that will be available to Canadian companies and academic institutions active in the Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) market. A 2013 study conducted by the Teal Group Corporation on UAS's, predicted that the UAS market will increase to $89 billion in the next ten years from the current expenditures of $5.2 billion annually. Quaternion Aerospace Inc. is set to play an important role in this exciting new sector. Camosun College offers over 160 degree, diploma and other credential programs to more than 10,000 full-time, and another 3,000 part-time, students in beautiful Victoria, BC. The college has educated and prepared more than 50,000 graduates to excel in the marketplace in its 40-year history, and has an annual local economic impact of $816.6 million.
