Abstract: In this talk, the winners of CITRIS’s first Aviation Prize will describe their winning proposal for a “long-endurance edge-AI platform for research opportunities and data gathering” platform (LEAP-FROG) to demonstrate a small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) part 107 compliant fully autonomous flight of 115 miles, within a 5-mile circumference and including a 45-min battery reserve at UC Merced’s Vernal Pools. With this discussion facilitated by CITRIS Director Costas Spanos, this session will also explore how CITRIS sees its Aviation Prize as a tool to foster student research and innovation across its four UC campuses.
