In September 2012 the CanberraUAV team will try to rescue 'Outback Joe' as part of the UAV outback challenge. This talk is all about the technology and techniques that we have developed for building an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that can search for and find a lost bushwalker in outback Australia.

Yes, I think it's pretty much 'self-destruct' time AFTER the plane hasn't re-established radio contact. Given the great programming skills of these people it shouldn't be a problem to have a 'return to home' option which _should_ re-establish contact first.
However, I also agree that there probably won't be too many people-filled shopping malls nor Airforce One in the area at the time :-)

The rules of the contest are very safety-oriented. Your plane must self-destruct at the first hint of trouble. Those contest organizers must really care about human life... except that they are perfectly happy to encourgage people to spend two years crashing planes randomly, by accident, who knows where, as long as it's not during the actual competition. Does this make sense? Anyway, it seems rather unlikely to me that any of these vehicles are likely to destroy any people-filled shopping malls.

08:00 Of *course* keeping it all open is the best way forward for the ultimate goal of promoting inexpensive, effective civilian arutomated search and resue sytems. That the CanberraUAV team is in the minority suggests a flaw in the strategy of the contest's organizers. Perhaps if CanberraUAV does well, it will hightlight that problem.

Why do you need to crash the plane? Don't the rules allow you to attach a parachute?
