INTRODUCTION
DASSAULT AVIATION and CTRM, in partnership with the MINISTRY OF HIGHER EDUCATION and
under the MIGHT patronage are organizing the UAV Siswa Challenge, an aerospace student challenge
dedicated to the Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) domain.
Open to every student from a Malaysian university, this challenge intends to give them the
opportunity to work on a motivating project and to explore advanced aerospace topics linked to
concrete industrial subjects of interest, such as advanced flight control functions for autonomous UAV
flight.
Then, the challenge technically focuses on system integration and smart behaviors applied to UAV
systems, with potential fields of application like UAV formation flight or automatic air refueling: so the
final identified target of the whole challenge is the development and the integration of embedded
systems allowing a flying platform to follow automatically and autonomously another flying platform.
To reach this ambitious target, the challenge has been divided in several incremental steps: each step,
lasting around one year, is build around a competition between the participating students team.
The 2013-2014 competition is the first step of the challenge. Its first prize will be a one-week travel in
France, including visits of Rafale companies factories (Dassault Aviation, Thales, Snecma), for the
whole winning team and its supervisor.
This document presents the specification of the 2013-2014 competition.

CHALLENGE 2013-2014: TECHNICAL MILESTONES
The challenge 2013-2014 is focused on equipment integration and autonomous precise approach of
fixed targets.
It is divided in 5 main technical milestones:
Pre-selection Technical evaluation Safety test 1stround of competition 2nd round of competition
Note: the schedule of these milestones is detailed in the chapter Challenge 2013-2014: Organization
PRE-SELECTION
The pre-selection milestone will take place at the early beginning, just after the registration step. It
will allow the organizers to:
Check, with each team, their understanding of the challenge 2013-2014 and of its potentialdifficulties,
Select the 9 best project proposals that will continue the competition.
This pre-selection is divided in 2 main steps:
1ststep : Pre-selection documentEach team will have to provide a document describing their project for 2013-2014, according
to the template available on the web-site:
o 1 page dedicated to an overall description of their project proposalo Answers to 5 predefined questions,o 10 lines describing their motivations for competing in this challenge
The scoring criteria used to evaluate each pre-selection document will be the followings:
Document - Overall description /10 pts
Document - Predefined questions /15 pts
Document - Motivation /5 pts
TOTAL /30 pts

Official Rules - Release A5
The 18 high scored teams will receive an invitation to participate to the second step of the pre-
selection process.
2nd step : Pre-selection presentationEach of the 18 teams will have to perform a short presentation of their project proposal, inclosed session, during 10 min maximum.
Each presentation will be scored between 0 and 10.
Each of the 18 project proposals will then obtain a final scoring as following:
Document /30 pts
Presentation /10 pts
TOTAL /40 pts
The projects corresponding to the 9 best final scores will be selected: each selected team will then
receive all the hardware components needed to build an equipped hexacopter for the competition
(see more details in chapter Challenge 2013-2014: Technical content).
Notes:
A maximum of 2 teams from the same university could be pre-selected. The pre-selection is also a commitment, from each selected team, to participate to the final
competition.
TECHNICAL EVALUATION
This milestone will take place in the last 3 months before the final competition. It will allow theorganizers to:
Evaluate the project of each team from a technical and theoretical point of view, Check if this project is able to perform its first preliminary ground tests
For each team, this technical evaluation will then be made in 2 steps:
A formal presentation, performed in open session, with :o slides during 20 min,o live ground tests during 10 min
A technical documentation, with a full and complete description of the project

The scoring criteria used to evaluate each project will be the followings:
Technical solution (innovation, performances, robustness,) /15 pts
Ability to demonstrate the system running on ground /10 pts
Efficiency of the presentation and the documentation /5 pts
TOTAL /30 pts
SAFETY TEST
For safety reason, a prior requirement has been set up: each team must be able to shutdown its
platform immediately and on request, in order to ensure the full safety of the competitors and theattendees during the competition.
This test will be performed preliminary to the real competition. In case of failure, the team wont be
allowed to participate to the other competition rounds.
Notes:
A proposed (but not mandatory) solution could be to shutdown automatically the platformwhen the radio remote control is turned off (similar to a loss of radio signal)
The provided platform is quite fragile: dont test your safety process in real condition, but withsomeone (or something) holding the platform (at very low altitude and very low power !).
1ST COMPETITION ROUND
The scenario of the 1st competition round will be the following: a target, represented by a 20m ground
circle centered on supplied GPS coordinates, is known before the start of the flight. The platform,
carrying a sand-balloon-bomb , follows a planed trajectory, and drops autonomously its sand-
balloon-bomb on this target. The plateform continues to follow the planned trajectory and lands at
the starting point.

Complementary to this overall description, the scenario is also defined by:
the flying area will be outdoor, with a maximum size of 100m x 100m, the altitude of flight will be from 1m minimum to 20m maximum, the trajectory waypoints and the target GPS coordinates to be used for this competition round
will be provided to the competitors on the day of the competition.
Each team will have 2 attempts per round (only the best one will be taken into account for the
scoring).
The scoring for 1stcompetition round will be based on:
Time to perform the whole trajectory, according to the following table :1st

2ND COMPETITION ROUND
The scenario of the 2nd competition round will be the following: along a planned trajectory, two
targets, represented by a red cross centered on supplied GPS coordinates, are identified but
considered as unknown at the beginning of the flight.
During the flight, at a predefined time after a predefined waypoint, the system will receive the GPS
center coordinates of a target. The platform will automatically re-plan the trajectory, incorporating
this new GPS waypoint.

Official Rules - Release A8
A camera has been integrated in the platform, allowing a real-time video flow to be sent to the ground.
This video flow will be then post-processed to give more accurate target direction to the platform, in
order to be able to perform a precise approach to the target.
The system will autonomously drop a sand-balloon-bomb as close as possible of the target center,
and get back to the trajectory.
After the releases on the 2 targets, the platform will continue to follow the planned trajectory and will
land at the starting point.
Complementary to this overall description, the scenario is also defined by:
the flying area will be outdoor, with a maximum size of 100m x 100m, the red cross target will be represented on ground by 2 perpendicular red strip of 5mx20cm, the altitude of flight will be from 1m minimum to 20m maximum, the GPS target coordinates will be sent manually from ground station, at a predefined time
after the passage of the platform through a defined waypoint,
the trajectory waypoints to be used for this competition round will be provided to thecompetitors on the day of the competition.
Each team will have 2 attempts per round (only the best one will be taken into account for thescoring).
The scoring for 2nd competition round will be based on:
Time to perform the whole trajectory, according to the following table:1st

ADVICES TO FUTURE COMPETITORS (TO BE READ CAREFULLY!)
Dont forget to register! The deadline is defined in the chapter Challenge 2013-2014: Organization.
Take care of the pre-selection phase: dont wait the deadline to register and to start to fulfill the
document for the pre-selection! And dont forget: only the 9 best answers will receive the hexacopterto continue the competition
Dont hesitate to use internet: a huge international community is dealing with hexacopter topics, and
you dont need to re-invent what has been done elsewhere
Dont hesitate to ask any question on the forum, even if it seems silly or obvious : its better to ask,
rather than to go in the wrong direction!
The hexacopter is not a toy, and is quite fragile: be careful when performing youre first flight tests to
tune the engine controllers, and during your safety tests. The best option is to make these tests with
someone holding the hexacopter (and without putting too much power !)
