As of 2003, this was the smallest autopilot/IMU and UAV available. Called the "Locust", this backpack deployable, 1 lb flying wing could be tossed into the air and would fly to preset waypoints sending back live video.

I was hired under Army subcontract to develop firmware and Glass Cockpit software with full display of all typical aircraft instruments, a moving map with flight planning capabilities, and various other controls. I developed an embedded operating system, profiler, code architecture, and most of the software for this resource limited flight computer.

Hired under U.S. Army subcontract to develop firmware and Glass Cockpit software for a small, backpack deployable drone aircraft (LOCUST)

· Wrote operating system, profiler, and base code architecture for a resource limited flight computer. (16k of memory, 8 MHZ)

Designed and implemented DirectX based Glass Cockpit software, displaying artificial horizon various flight instruments, and a moving map with user configurable flight path, and diagnostics.

Designed and built an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and autopilot hardware able to stabilize drone aircraft and fly to waypoints This included circuit board design, layout, construction, firmware, and proprietary sensor fusion algorithms. (Not used on LOCUST, separate project.)
