Part 15 Mission platforms - terrytaylorbonn/auxdrone GitHub Wiki
24.0714 (gdrive empty)
I speak Russian/Ukrainian, Chinese, and German. I watch daily blogs about the Russia/Ukraine war and the impending China/Taiwan war in the regional languages. So much of the material (in the future) in this part might be in those languages. Youtube translate to the rescue!
add?
- airspace monitoring
- mapping
- util inspection (ips?)
- public safety
In this part describe the construction of specific mission build platforms (Gdrive).
- 15.1 (6b.0a) (FPV) Minefield mapping
- 15.2 (6b.0b) (FPV) Stealth drone (burst comms)
- 15.3 (6b.1) (AI) Mine clearance
- 15.4 (6b.2) (AI) Target lockon

15.0 RF OVER FIBER 24.0711
https://www.octanewireless.com/products/rf-over-fiber-products/
15.1 (6b.0a) Minefield mapping
Use INAV missions to fly over a mine field.
Camera (infrared, thermal) takes pictures.
Something like that... something you do without a companion computer.
24.0617 from militarny.. drone with detectors on it
15.2 (6b.0b) Stealth drone burst comms
24.0529
I was thinking about something like this:
Rather than a troublesome, cumbersome fiber link, you simply limited comms to small bursts.
This could maybe do with FPV? not sure...
15.3 (6b.1) Mine clearance
24.0508
An AI drone would
- Detect warm objects (object detection)
- Recognize which objects are mines (object recognition)
- Take any required action (autonomously)
A real build for something like the following.
Feb 2024 one my favorite Taiwanese bloggers (Mark from "Mark Space") posted a (as usual technically excellent) video that kind of sums up the kind of stuff I wanted to learn to do with an AI drone.

During the first 5 mins he focuses on drones in Ukraine. The following screenshot shows how mines give off heat at night more than earth (the FLIR image bright spots are mines). The key requirements for this mission are
- CC and camera (FLIR) that have the best price/performance (power usage needs to be within the limits of the drone/battery)
- AI algorithm that provides best detection for this specific scenario with the limitations of the CC/camera (my need to try several at the field)
In the screenshot below note the red square. This is the mission map from the mission planner the soldier is using. This shows the flight path the drone will take.
15.4 (6b.2) Target lockon
TERRY: somethign that would lock on a target and pursue (without requiring pilot).
A specific build.
This would use the tech intro'd in
- real ai hw
- basic platform build
- any required extra advanced plaform tech
