A student-researcher from Carnegie Mellon University remotely maneuvers a quadrotor micro-air vehicle (MAV) through the narrow hallways of the Naval Research Laboratory's ex-USS Shadwell in Mobile, Alabama. In controlled testing, the MAV autonomously flew through a smoke-filled, GPS-denied area to identify a fire’s location and transmit data back to the research team. The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring studies to test MAV capabilities to provide firefighters with information about smoke thickness, fire location and structural damage within the confines of a ship.
